[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1761499, member: 46727"] I suppose it's possible that with the high humidity you have there in Bali that some corrosion could happen. I worked in Hawaii for the government some years ago and with the high humidity there and salt air from the surrounding Pacific Ocean, we always had corrosion problems with electronic equipment. Anyway, try cleaning the terminals with a gentle scraping motion using a plastic or wood toothpick. Compressed air contains moisture and probably should not be used. Don't use a cotton bud either as some of the threads can get caught in the connector and then you have more trouble. [/QUOTE]
