Whatever you do, don't try to clean them with a pencil eraser.? They're very abrasive.? Working the shutter speed dial sometimes will clean up contacts that have impaired conductivity.? In the end, though, don't be surprised if it needs a new board.

The back door has the ASA connections and must make solid electrical contact. Good luck Vick
