It doesnt take much corrosion on a contact to block low level signals. It seems like the Made in China camcorders have much more of this problem than the Made in Japan camcorders did. I use a Cramolin filled fiberglass tip pen if I want to clean and inhibit corrosion, but usually the wiping action of reseating the cable does the job.
