no contact cleaner. that's what it's called. it's a spray that has freon and alcohol or something that's used to clean electronic contacts. like with my musical equipment i spray all the jacks on my amps and guitars and usually the tips of the cables.
you can find it at radioshack and at most hardware stores. just make sure your computer or whatever equipment you spray it on is turned off and unplugged. it's liquid and evaporates quickly, but it's still a liquid.
i don't know if anyone around here will have any objection to you doing this.... and i don't know if it'll wreck any computer parts (though i doubt it will)... if you go to radioshack or the hardware store, just ask someone.
don't use 409 or wd-40 or anything like that.
BTW, is there ANY chance that there's a BIOS setting that may be causing you all this grief?
