Is it quite dirty? How to clean a "USB port"

Except for the body, the places that tend to get dirty on a computer are the keyboard and display, mouse and trackpad, but the "USB port" is also quite good. Since there is no lid and it is directly exposed to the outside, dust tends to get in and it may stick to the beat that was inserted or removed. Due to the structure, the USB port is dirty to some extent, but if it gets too dirty, problems due to poor contact will occur. If the smartphone or USB memory is not recognized, or if the connection and disconnection are repeated without permission, it is highly possible that the contacts inside the USB port are dirty and cause poor contact.

If the USB terminal becomes dirty, it may cause poor contact. Two tools for cleaning such a USB port are copy paper and contact restoration agent. Fold the copy paper 3 to 4 times according to the width of the USB port (about 1 cm), and lightly spray the contact restoration agent on both sides and insert or remove it from the USB port. You can use a cotton swab instead of copy paper. Of course, work with the computer turned off. Avoid using an air duster or vacuum cleaner. There are often subtle gaps near the USB port, which can push dust into your computer. On the contrary, the vacuum cleaner may attract dust inside the computer to the vicinity of the USB port. This is because most PCs, whether notebook or desktop, have a CPU cooling fan inside and tend to store dust. If you want to clean it more easily, you can also use accessories sold under names such as USB port cleaner. Since the part in contact with the terminal is coated with an abrasive, it can be expected to have the effect of eliminating poor contact.
