Best way to clean out my dock connector.

I use alcohol pad on the connector to get rid of grime and oxidation. to clean the general dust and things that sneak their way in there I use a broken wood q-tip handle (Im a nurse so I have access, you could do the same with a broken tooth pick.) Good luck.

if i understand correctly you can take a compressed air bottle and spray some air in there (thats what im going to do)

Best thing is just a small paintbrush.

I thought about doing this myself but i think you run a very high risk of just blowing dust past the dock and under the screen

Your fears are based on what ?

I wouldn't clean any electronics with anything but the approved cleaning tools

Most computer techs know that you either clean with either an electronic contact cleaner ( removed oils, dries 100%) you can buy the pens @ Frys

Or compressed air ( keep the bottle vertically and only use short bursts of air to avoid the air getting too cold and causing condensation)

I don't recommend sticking anything in there. The hairs on the brush could get stuck on the small pins
