DeoxIT & Zebras Message #1 Posted by aj04062 on 5 Mar 2011, 4:43 p.m. Would anyone recommend using DeoxIT Gold with the zebra contacts on LCDS? I just fixed a nasty corrosion problem on a 42S and would like it to hold up.

Re: DeoxIT & Zebras Message #2 Posted by Randy on 5 Mar 2011, 4:54 p.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 Deoxit was designed for use on metal contacts. IMO, using the stuff on elastomeric materials would be a very bad idea.

Re: DeoxIT & Zebras HP-42S LCD Repair Message #3 Posted by aj04062 on 5 Mar 2011, 8:08 p.m., in response to message #2 by Randy Update from prior post I concur on not using DeoxIT. I re-assembled without applying anything. SUCCESS! After Repair: Before Repair: It took a steady hand to repair about 5 traces. I hope the last.
