Cleaning Procedure for Card Connectors

It is possible for residue to build up on the gold edge connector pins on some cards, which could cause a variety of symptoms.

If you are having problems with a card, inspect the connector pins with a magnifying glass. If you find residue, use a pencil eraser or the chemical cleaner “stabilant” (see TIL article 10468) to gently clean the pins. Remember, never handle the cards by the gold connectors.
