SE K800i and problem with charger

Hi. I have Sony Ericsson K800i for longer time. It has been
doing well, but recently I have a little problem with it.
It's charger slot got little dirty with some sticky smudge,
and my charger now doesn't work. I checked it out and it
seems the problem is in the most far right slot. The USB
cable and my headphones still work, though, but they do not
use that slot. Any advice how to clean it? I tried using
sprays for cleaning electronical stuff, but that didn't
help. Any idea?

Try using a pencil rubber (eraser) I have found them good for cleaning
contacts, edge connectors etc.

Actually i found out that this slot is broken. The most far
contact i've been talking about is torn out. But it's cool,
someone showed me that they actually sell such slots and
they are easily changeable.

Well, in the meantime, you could always use your USB cable to charge the phone. You said it didn't use that slot, so it should work fine. It will take a considerable while to charge in comparison to the AC though ...
