Had a stubborn LRU on a Garmin G500 system fail a self-test in Denver last month

Turns out a tiny bit of corrosion on the backplane connector pins was the culprit, cleaned it with a fiberglass pen and it passed. What's your go-to method for cleaning those hard-to-reach contacts?

Try a tiny drop of deoxit on a q-tip, then wipe it clean. The fiberglass pen is great but sometimes you need that chemical clean for the really thin film you can't see.

My old Walkman had that same invisible film issue.
