Title: Burnt pin Post by: ccgllc on March 08, 2018, 07:22:08 PM Hi all -
One of my S9s keeps dropping one card. When I examine it, I see that one pin on the power connector is off-colored compared to everything else. Often just resetting that connector will get the card up and running... for awhile. Is there any way to clean that pin? What would I use?

Make sure it is clean and dry before re-applying power. Also, try to adjust the pins to make the best contact possible - i.e. carefully use a pair of needle nose pliers or whatever you have handy to compress the female connector and expand the male end for a good tight fit. If the connector is too burned up, you need to replace it.
