WD-40 is the Duct Tape of electronics. Case in point: two guitar pedal-effects, with flaky on/off foot switches, some magic oil squirted into their guts, and voila! They work again, every time. If only all life's problems could be solved with a few well placed squirts...

"You only need two tools - WD 40 and Duct Tape - wd 40 for something that is supposed to move, but doesn't. - Duct Tape for something that moves but isn't supposed to."

Archemedes: Give me a big enough lever and I will move the world.

Me: Give me a big enough roll of duck tape, and I'll stop you.
