I've been experiencing some intermittent power issues when using the dock, which is connected to my bike's battery. The problem is getting worse - previously it was a case of taking the device off the dock and then reattaching it. Now I'm getting no power at all (unit doesn't power on with ignition or detect power), despite a reading of around 5.6 volts on the corresponding pins on the mount. In can see that on the back of the device one of the two connectors appears corroded or worn. I've tried cleaning it up with contact cleaner, but that hasn't worked. The mount pins are clean.
Before I try anything else, I thought it best to seek advice - is this a solid copper contact that I can clean with an abrasive, or is there a better solution?
