    Looking at your second picture, the male prong, the gap seems less than other prongs meaning the fit is not as tight. My 328 has exhibited this issue in the past. After spraying the connection with contact cleaner, I spread the prong a wee bit, then coated the connection with Stabilant 22. Problem vanished but could return in the future, I suppose.

    I ordered a de-pin kit that seems like it has the correct keys to pop the pins out of the connectors, so I will give that a try before totally replacing/bypassing the connectors. At the very least it will let me take a closer look at the condition of the pins and their fit. These pins have two small barbs around the periphery that spring into place after the pin is pushed into the connector. A round "tube" style key should be able to slide over the pin and release the barbs if the fit is good.
