My wife dropped her portable radio in coke. I took it apart and
cleaned it and it seems to work fine except the LCD Display is dim and
erratic. It connects to the PCB lands by pressure only and pressing
improves the display somewhat. I don't understand how this type of
connection works. I have cleaned both parts but not much improvement.

Any advice would be appreciated. I understand that the acid from the
soft drink can dissolve connections and that the sugar will cause
shorts. However not much got in and I have cleaned everything else
pretty well. Is there some kind of contact grease that has to be
applied to the lands to make a good connection?
