For my 2c worth... (haha..)...

I fully understand that 'contacts' in ANYTHING, are not always just 'dirty', which certain solvents may help with.
The other main problem though is 'oxidization'. Being a 'ZIF" (Zero Insertion Force, with a Lever), there is no physical
'abrasion' either, when removing or re-inserting! (to actually 'scratch' itself clean).  :P

One of my bosses years ago, once questioned what I meant in some of my site reports, about 'Bedding-in' some devices.
I explained about removing/re-inserting some parts, to friction-clean certain contacts, which often alleviated the problem!
With 'ZIF's though, this does not happen, so I would suggest repeatedly holding the ZIF Close-Lever partially closed during
re-insertion, to cause some actual friction! It's only 'removal' that often needs minimal friction, having numerous pins!  8)
