Cleaning Your Axim Pin Connectors

Hi everybody: Need some advice. My Dell Axim x50v is working fine; except when using my Belkin wall adapter for recharging -- have been replaced with brand new adaptor recently. Also, pda works fine on cradle -- no problem with connecting, etc.

Question is how do you clean the connector/connection at the bottom of your pda? Sometimes dust, etc may get in and need instructions in how to clean the right way.

Thanks for your kind assistance.:)

Hello,

I use a microvac attachment to my shopvac, its a small brush thats 3/8 inch wide and slips onto the regular vacuum hose, available at walmart. Seems to work very well, I definitely would not use any liquids in the connection.

Have a Really Good day,
Jim

I usually just use a small plastic tooth pick, but it is not something I need to do often.

Didn't think of either suggestions but glad you did. Will get a small brush or something similar and try that.

Thanks again!
