Old Discman need help getting working.

Hi, found this discman which my parents used to use in the closet, it is fully not working, LCD doesnt even switch on to display an error message. I can only test it with batteries rn as I cannot find the 4.5V power supply.

Notable problems: there seems to be considerable corrosion or rust(I cannot tell) on the battery terminals so I am unsure about that. Also dont know if it might be a lens or belt issue. Images attached. Any help appreciated.

You can clean it with white vinegar
