Rolls PB224 not working?

I feel like this is a stupid question, but the last time I attempted to
use this, the green power light came on just for a blink, then went off.
I took this to Costa Rica in July, but I ended up not using it, and I
can't remember if I had batteries in it when I was traveling.
I tried recharging the batteries, but the same thing happened. Then I
noticed that one of the contacts at the bottom appeared to be
dull-looking compared to the others. It looks like there's some brown
stain inside the case, but I did not notice any leakage on any batteries
that I had in there (usually rechargeable, but sometimes alkaline).

Here's the question--if it's a matter of battery leakage, would the
green light come on like that? I've tried cleaning the contact (kind of
hard to access) with vinegar and a q-tip, but that didn't make much
difference in the way it looked. Any suggestions?
