hi guys,

since I was unable to find a contact cleaner without petroleum derivates down here (and that small deoxIt doesn't look like lasting a lot) a friend of mine that fixes cell phones for motorola told me he uses isopropyl alcohol (I think that's the name in english) to clean his contacts!

Are there any know issues about using it on the HH electronics and in the electronics head? concentration is 99% I think.

thanks,

Zé.

Depends on what type of cleaning is necessary.. It will remove most contaminates but wont remove most oxidation.. Use a diluted white vinegar solution for a few minutes then you can rinse it with the alchohol (it will dry much faster than water)..
