Troubleshooting General/ PCI Cards - 36
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.
