Steel wool is absolutely forbidden around any and all electronics labs,
production lines, facilities, companies, etc. that I've ever been in,
around, or worked for, including my own lab for the last 50 years of my

Please be careful using steel wool. Little strands of the wire can get into
places that could be fatal to unit itself. I would use some fine emery
type paper on the pins. I would first try a contact cleaner such as Deoxit
on both the pins and the socket.
Just trying to help...
