I am pretty sure it is completely unopened. Will the batteries have corroded and rendered it unplayable? And a side question. Can I use a #0 Phillips screwdriver or do I need to prioritize searching for a JIS one?

Hi! So today, my lil' sis took out the dead batteries in her Tamagotchi Friends, and they were corroded (the dead batteries sat in the Tamagotchi for a few months).Then I remembered that I have a P2 I've left the batteries in, though not dead, for a while. I don't want to use the battery because of how hard P2 ones are to find. (I also just got a new Chibi, and I was planning to leave the batteries in, tag n' all.) So the question is, will full batteries left in a Tamagotchi corrode? If yes, after how long? Thank you! :3

I bought a Japanese wave 2 P2 and noticed it had badly corroded contacts from improper storage. I scrubbed it with baking soda and it still didn't work. I tried CLR (Calcium, Lime, and Rust remover) on a cotton swab and scrubbed the contacts with that. Now the tama works again, amazing!
