I don’t know, but it works.
It never even crossed my mind to use liquid graphite. That's such a good fix! Thanks!
@@CatKingKeefie It sure is, and it works perfectly! Note that the tube contains the finely-powdered stuff, not liquid. Cheers!
@@ducttapersanonymousSo where did you get the tube of graphite, and how did you get it to stick to the contacts?

Great to see someone fixing something so cheap to replace in this throw away society 👏
@@solsol1624 Thanks! It’s such an easy and inexpensive solution.
how long does this fix last?
It’s been 3 weeks and it still works perfectly. As for how long it’ll last…? I’ll just give it a quick dusting if it happens again.
