Default Re: How best to clean ISA slots and cards.

We used to clean similar connectors by folding a business card (not the glossy type) in half and wetting it with Iso alcohol.

Slide card up and down in slot - NOT along it as it can rip the contacts out.

Vaseline, being a petroleum based product, can affect some plastics, so a proper contact grease is preferable (it used to be available for the RC car market quite easily from hobby shops - not sure if it still is).
