Want your electronic devices to work well? Use Stabilant 22 – always.
Unplug -- all devices first before working on them.
Your network, computer stereo system, and cell phone – security system all use low-voltage connections.
(Of course, this does NOT include the plug at the wall or its cord – that's high voltage.)
Most electronic devices use low-voltage and have many varied connection points.
Wherever there is an electrical connection between two metal points, there is a potential for issues.
Why – all depends on the quality of the metals used between the connections — and environmental issues like dirt, corrosion, and air gaps – even vibrations can reduce the efficiency of the connections and may even cause intermittent connections and faults.
And the result is that even a single poor connection can cause interference and signal loss, and the device can operate at low efficiency or fail periodically or completely.
So many curse their device(s) because they always need to be rebooted or unplugged, as they just won't stay running, when the fault lies in one or more of the electrical connections.
To solve this, every single low-voltage connection point should be coated with a thin layer of Stabilant 22 before the electrical connection is meshed.
Stabilant 22 is a Canadian invention – it is simply amazing.
What does Stabilant 22 solve, and how does it work?
When two "conductive" metals are placed together at the microscopic level, there are many air gaps and flaws, which means only a limited number of spots are actually touching each surface, and these are the only spots where electricity can flow.
What Stabilant 22 does is fill in all the air gaps and flaws in the metal surfaces, and when two connections are put together, and an electrical field is present between them, Stabilant 22 switches to a conductive state."
When applying, let the Stabilant 22 sit for a couple of minutes for the carrier solution to evaporate and for the Stabilant 22 to set firmly on the connector's metal. Reapply Stabilant 22 if you take the connector apart.
Here are examples of how this product helped me.
I had a wheel-fail error on a Roomba — and the wheel motor checked out fine. I blew out the connection — still an issue — I coated the contacts with Stabilant 22 and reinstalled the wheel, and three years later, the Roomba is still running.
Another example: at one time, my computer had a reported "memory stick" issue — I tested all four sticks (what a long process) and all memory tested perfectly — but each time I put the matched RAM in the computer, it reported an error.
So I coated all the gold contacts on the RAM sticks with Stabilant 22 – reinstalled, and I have never had an issue since.
My GPU – and all internal plugins in my computer have this – all my USB plugins, all our home security devices, all Amazon sticks – all have Stabilant 22 coated connections.
And our devices work day in and day out virtually perfectly.
This is now my gold standard for every electronic device, as I coat all low-voltage electrical connections with Stabilant 22.
So if you wish your robotic cleaners – your phones and computers on your network to work well – your router, modem, and all network low-voltage connections will work far better with all the connections lightly coated in Stabilant 22.
One small container of Stabilant 22 is expensive, but as so little is needed it will cover a lot of connections and last you a long time.

Many places in Canada to buy, but this is my go-to place –

And I use the following, as there are several options.
Stabilant 22A Contact Cleaner & Rejuvenator 15mL (Isopropanol Diluted), 007-020-015
All I mention here on Roomba Refuge is a suggestion only. Please use common sense and research to reach your own conclusion about what works for you.
Unplug -- all devices first before working on them.
