Yes I agree with silicone grease if you are going to apply anything . its not going to do any harm actualy I once went to blow out my computer case and accidently grabed a can of silicone contact cleaner . Before I discovered the mistake I had totaly covered the circuit board with silicone spray . I let the propelents evaporate booted it up and it worked fine untill I upgraded about a year later.

I have never seen it dry out. I have had it onboard on all kinds of electronic connectors for many years as a way to displace oxygen to stop corrosion. The other nice thing about it is that it does not affect rubber like petroleum based grease does.

Bad idea. That grease is *way* too thick for use on an HDMI port. Even a dab could ruin it.

Yes it can dry out after several thermal cycles. If you want the kind of grease that doesn't separate and eventually fail, you use Blue Ice 411.

Dielectric grease would be the best option to avoid crosion. Once the terminals were clean. apply a dab of the dielectric grease.

Silicon grease does not dry, which makes it a good thing to use.

You definitely cannot use the petroleum jelly because that stuff is way too thick, won’t apply correctly (it’ll wear right off easily) and it really won’t do that good of a job. Silicone grease is fine (and waterproof) as long as it’s a light coat and you give it extra dry time before plugging a cable back into the port. The only downside is that it may rub off quicker than Rust-Oleum would, but that’s not that big of a deal since it can be reapplied easily.

DO NOT pack it with Vaseline or any other type of grease.
