I dont know how i managed to do this, but i somehow got a little bit of AS5 on the 775 socket. Any ideas on how to get it off?

Also, is it just me, or does one of the pins look bent?

did a google search and came across this thread that says use aerosol electronic contact cleaner and let it soak. Off to radio shack to get that.

I was working with cotton swabs before. The cotton threads kept getting tangled in the pins. Took me longer to take the leftover cotton threads out. Had to use a 5x magnifying glass. Im seeing cross eyed now. I dont wanna go thru that again. Im gonna give the electronic contact cleaner a try.
