When addressing possible electronic contact corrosion, I stay away from
rubbing alcohol for the following reasons:
1) Rubbing alcohol contains water, and it's not easy to tell how much.
Water and electronics make a poor pair.
2) Although rubbing alcohol might get rid of existing corrosion, it has
no lasting lubricative functionality to prevent future fretting
corrosion. Read
http://www.te.com/documentation/whitepapers/pdf/p154-74.pdf or take
my word for it: To prevent future occurrences of electronic contact
corrosion, it's not sufficient to clean: You must also lubricate.
