Can someone tell me the best way to clean a phone jacks contacts?

[episodic]

Will a qtip and isopropyl alcohol work? I don't wanna short it out or anything.

 

[MDE]

Yes

I honestly have no idea how to do that, and I'd probably never get it working again. If you were nearbye I'd buy you a pizza and a beer to redo it

A pencil eraser works great.

you need a crimper and new heads

for a one time deal, it's probably cheaper to just get a new cable, but if you wanna make all kinds of new phone cables, it's a steal
