Title: Cleaning the button PCB, button II sometimes doesnt work at first
Post by: horror77 on September 29, 2009, 07:16:05 AM

Today I figure I would clean the PCB where the buttons lay and Ive gone into the system to make sure no major corrosion has happened, noticed that there was just a slight build up on one of the button tabs.

Q: Whats the best solution to use to insure long life of my contacts?

I am doing this as sometimes button II doesn't work at first until I turbo the button and then bring it down to no turbo.

Q: Is there any recommendation on how to clean and make sure the turbo pins are well off?

Thanks for the advice and sorry if this would be a duplicate but I searched and couldn't find anything like this.

DeoxIT Contact Cleaner would probably be a good bet for those contacts.

Personally, I use a very fine grit sandpaper, then a squirt of the DeoxIT Gold product.
