General VMU Maintenance?

Post by lozz »

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any guidance available about best practice for storing and maintaining VMUs? I've found plenty of websites/videos about repairs and modding, but what I'm seeking is advice on general upkeep - I.E. how to ensure they stay in good working order for as long as possible.

For example, leaving flat batteries in devices for long periods of time can sometimes lead to corrosion. Would it be best to store VMUs without batteries in them?

Any tips or links along these lines would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Lozz

I do this with my VMU.
