In Reply to: Cleaning IC Socket Holes? posted by Dan on January 7, 2007 at 09:00:20:
How about spraying some concact cleaner on an IC then inserting and removing it from the socket a few times.Use an IC you don't care about so you don't have to worry about bending a pin.
I would just replace the socket if it looks dirty or oxidized.
Personally I would replace the socket with nothing and solder the chip directly in.
But if you are experementing with different IC's then I can understand wanting to keep the socket.
