Hey everyone. I have a potentiometer on a remote board that's on the fritz. It's the H. Hold, and seems like it's loose, as sometimes moving it all the way in one direction it works properly, and other times moving it a hair will cause the picture to be wavy (like the image is shivering, not like the H. Hold is out of place). Sometimes, turning the pot will actually shutdown the monitor, although it's fixed by simply turning the machine off and turning it back on again.
I was wondering if I could use some sort of lubricant on this pot. I didn't want to do something stupid like spray something that was conductive on it that will end up shorting it out or what not, so I figured I'd ask here first. I already sprayed the pot with a can of air and re-soldered the joints, for the most part it seems OK. But if I can throw something else in there to help I'm all for it.
Unfortunately I don't have time to order a new pot - the machine is shipping out tonight. So if any of you know whether or not it's OK to spray a pot with some sort of lube, please let me know!
