I did try cleaning it with an eraser, but that didn't do anything. Next procedure said to format it on a PC, so I needed to buy an adapter. It formatted fine but still not recognized by the phone. I put very little dielectric grease ... and wiped any excess off with a Q-tip, so it was just a surface coat. I wonder if it will be durable, but it won't store anything important so I'm none too worried.
