Recently I've had the same problem: It results in some dust - or oxidation as you assume - in the earphone jacket, just switching the speaker sometimes off, as if there was a plug in it. I've used some contact cleaner spray and plugging/unplugging an earphone several times to solve that problem. Regards, Ulrich -- Sorry: English isn't my native language.
