it's notoriously humid in NZ normally and it's been raining for
weeks now. it doesn't help that construction is 3rd world quality
(that's not all exaggeration). a little corrosion is not surprising!
a little IPA and even sliding the DIMM up and down would be useful.
i wonder why it's locked into place so solidly though. i'll have to
muck with it some more, but i'd hate to break it. :-(
