Unfortunately I forgot to remove the 9V battery by 6 months (the battery contacts got oxidized ) and now my multimeter keeps buzzing always.

any idea about how to solve this problem?

The escaped gases from the LEAKED battery have put some short circuit on the COMPONENT's CONTACTS. Try removing the display and WASH the PCB with warm water and soap. Dry it after washing/cleaning with ELECTRIC AIR BLOWER for about 10~12 minutes. Hope will help you get back the proper functions. Good Luck :|
