I took the GPS out of the cradle to attach it to my computer to check for updates and notice the mechanism was a little difficult to operate. It wasn't jammed or anything like that. It was a if it needed some lubrication in the mechanism. Has anyone else run into this and what was your solution? I'm considering spraying WD-40 on a Q-tip and strategically swabbing the sliding parts but they are plastic so I wonder if there's something better? |

I’d first try some compressed air (like you use on electronics). A plastic-safe lube would be my next step. Odds are it’s just some dirt.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #2 I use a compressed air, then use a silicon spray.

Thanks! Compressed air makes sense if it's a grit problem. How it got in there, I don't know. I'll pick up a can of silicon spray. It seems like it would be a good idea to keep any plastic mechanism working freely so I don't bind it up and break it. I'm sure I don't want to know what replacing the cradle would run me. |
