Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

  The specs of saliva that go along with blowing corrode the contacts over time, so it is actually better to find an alternative with a soft brush and non/less-acidic cleaning solution.

  Nintendo sold cartridge cleaning kits in the 90s (maybe even the 80s).

    No one bought those. By the time any corrosion occured, you mastered the game.
