Default the importance of truly clean contacts

Er, does all this not actually point to the phone being the problem
rather than the charger?


Excellent question. The fact that properly cleaning plug resolved most --
though not all -- of the problem suggests that both and plug and jack have
problems.

The possibility that the jack is not in the best of shape is why I bought a
charger that works through the 18-pin interface.
