Re: good plex news

["Mikell D.Nelson" <mnelson@dmans.com>]

    To this I'd add the following. Clean the contacts on the SIMM's with 
DeoxIt,
an oxidation remover. Then paint on a little PreservIt; made by the same 
folks.
Also, it doesn't hurt to gently blow the socket free of any debris. Be 
careful
attempting to clean the sockets with a brush as the contact pins are very 
thin
and fragile.
    When a Rang makes the kinds of noise, it's invariably poor contact 
between
the pins and socket of some part. On the Rang, the microprocessor and op 
amps
are also often culprits.
    The products I reference aren't carried by Radio Shack but you'll find 
them
at an electronics store where a professional tech might shop for parts.
