Sometimes, if corrosion has not flowed into the wire, you can cut off a small section and splice another piece on. If you take a little insulation off and wire is brown or black and will not take solder, then you would have to take shutter out and probably replace that entire length of wire. Since wire attaches to the bottom of the battery box (and screw/contact have to be taken out too) you really can't avoid doing a complete job. John, www.zuiko.com

Try stripping very carefully to shiny wire, do not cut too much wire, and then gluing in place with conductive glue. Great stuff.

Where could I find conductive glue?

Thanks

Conductive glue! Sounds like a great concept. I've asked for it at several shops here in Perth (Australia) - Jaycar, Dick Smiths - and the shops assistants look at me like I'm referring to the completely impossible. I'm still not sure how to strip tiny wires safely either. thanks

Conductive glue sound like terrific stuff for getting an orchestra to come together.

I just twisted the stainless wires on one of my cameras together (tight), and painted them with nail polish. I always use sunset magenta on my nails, what do you guys use.
