No problems now but should i be worried that itll die soon?
it still works
dont have warranty sadly

Warranty wouldn't cover that anyhow.

Could try cleaning off the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol.

That probably would only happen if it was exposed to moisture

I would use an ear stick dipped in a bit of rubbing alcohol.
