I'd try a refund first. If that doesn't work I'd feel happy that it
seems to have damaged mostly resistors. The IC's looks in a lot better
shape and resistors are a lot easier both to replace and solder in
place. This battery leakage, however, mustn't be the villain for the
display non-functioning. So, go for the refund and spend the cash on
some other MTM that should surface sooner or later. If possible, that
is... I know that Ebay can be a dread.
Which reminds me that I should check the insides of my yet unopened MTM. :-o
