When addressing possible electronic contact corrosion, I stay away from rubbing alcohol for the following reasons: 1) Rubbing alcohol contains water, and it's not easy to tell how much. Water and electronics make a poor pair. 2) Although rubbing alcohol might get rid of existing corrosion, it has no lasting lubricative functionality to prevent future fretting corrosion. Read http://www.te.com/documentation/whitepapers/pdf/p154-74.pdf or take my word for it: To prevent future occurrences of electronic contact corrosion, it's not sufficient to clean: You must also lubricate.
