Hi Nige,
In the past I have had a can of silicone spray especially for electronic components and I thought what I had was it. As it is, it is the compressed air. I will buy a can of the silicone spray and try it. I would really like to feel brave enough to remove the cover but I sure don't want to run into a situation of having to remove a bunch of connections to get the cover off.
