So at that point you have to open up the cable to get to the wires to terminate it. The substance I was referring to earlier is "icky pick" (I'm certain it has a real name, I just never bothered to learn it. This icky pick is kind of like honey but more dense, and it gets EVERYWHERE! All over your clothes, into your tool bag (and any tools that require battery or electric current are especially vulnerable, and tools with moving parts run a close second)it didn't matter what you thought your next chore to be, as soon as you had succumbed to the icky pick monster, your next action was getting up close and personal with snail snot. This stuff was INCREDIBLE cleaning hands, clothes, tools and so on. Using it was like taking a bath in oranges, the scent was that powerful. Obviously phone techs have a quirky sense of humour, renaming things being high on the list. I honestly don't know, and don't think I ever knew what the real name for icky pick was. I'm pretty sure that the snail snot was "goof off " (seriously that was the name), and is available at most big hardware stores. I've seen it work on all sorts of graffiti, etc. We'd go through a container per person in about a week. I would anticipate the average householdhousehold would go through one in about 5 to 10 years

I'm not sure if I should use Goof Off on my Nook... Maybe Goof Off Heavy Duty Wipes? They'll come in handy cleaning around the house as well and they're sold on eBay. Hmm, I have a lot of decisions to make next month. lol
Thank you all for the suggestions! *looking at Nook* I think I'll just stick with what I have available this month--rubbing alcohol and vinegar. Next month I'll try something different. *nods*
There's hope for this Nook ST yet!
