iPhone dock connector seems to have bent pins, is this a hazard The dock connector on my iPhone 4S appears to have some bent pins (I think those crushed copper lines in the photo are pins). The phone charges, but it thinks that it is always connected to the dock. That is an annoyance, but the phone seems to work fine otherwise. However, I am worried that the bent pins may be a hazard of some type. Is there any risk of shock or fire?
Pull those pieces out with a plier (or tweezers) so to remove any potential shorts.
