    How to clean fpc connectors oxydated ?

    Hello, do you know if it is possible to clean oxydated fpc connectors until it back brilliant please ?
    I know the best is to replace, but sometime micro fpc are very little oxydated and very hard (or unable) to find as new. So, there is may be a chemical product for that ?
    I use vinegar for rust on metal screw or little metal pieces and I finish with WD-40 for protect, else the rust can come back. That works pretty good.
    I not yet tryed on connector. Do you have a good method please ?

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        Crimping CAT7 connectors high failure rates
        by CapLeaker
        I’ve had and got a few projects using quality CAT6 and CAT7 23awg solid copper, shielded, direct burial cable. Each time I use CAT7 connectors, most of them fail making good connections to the 4 wire pairs after crimping. I tied a couple of crimping tools, thinking my crimper is bad. Also used different CAT7 RJ45 connector manufacturers. Same thing. I kinda calculate 6 connectors to make one cable!
        Get this: I use CAT5 or CAT6 connectors, no problem. Very rare I have a miss crimp with those. So what gives?! ...

        Are USB C connectors standard
        by Eniaro
        I have a number of laptops with damaged USB-C connectors.
        I wonder if I can buy a few replacement connectors from Mouser to keep, as it seems like the wafer in the middle breaks easily and oftentimes causes shorts.
        I do know there are multiple connectors out there, but I'm curious to know which are most commonly used and how can I identify and purchase the correct ones.
        I purchased USB mini-B connectors in the past, only to find out that the connector was flipped (Lenovo smh).

        KingWin ABT-650MM 650 Watt ATX PSU [PCB: SW8835REV:A]
        by momaka
        For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
        http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp

        I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.




        What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors...
