Charger: Needs to be cleaned?

[ShaneRay]

For the last few months my charger has been quite "fiddly". I need to rock the connector a bit before the connection is made and the blue light comes on.

Anyone run into this?

Before I hunt around the house for some cleaning alcohol, thought I'd see if it may be another problem. I don't use the tablet often anymore, so I haven't worried much about it.

Thanks.

Do not use any liquid in cleaning electronic contacts - you risk shorting the contacts, if not corroding them.

As an alternative, use either an aspirator or a can of compressed air to blow the dirt out of the port. If that doesn't work, use a dry piece of fabric (stiffened by a small toothpick, by wrapping the fabric around it) and use it to wipe the contacts.
