Never use graphite
Authored by: Chas on Fri, May 23 2008 at 7:29PM PDT
Don't ever EVER EVER use graphite to lubricate parts that are near electronics. Graphite is an electrical conductor, albeit weak and with a high resistance. You do not want graphite dust getting into electronic components, it could cause shorts or other electronic damage.
