Here's something:
CAUTION: Dielectric grease has insulating properties. Only apply enough dielectric grease with a nylon bristle brush to lightly coat the pins. Too much grease could cause the spring-loaded connector pins to expand and create a poor connection. Also, use ONLY a premium quality dielectric grease. Low quality or the incorrect type of grease could cause a short circuit between pins.
Perhaps this is what happened? Who knows.
