Melamine Foam (Magic Eraser)
The i7's charging contacts (under the front bumper and on the dock) accumulate a transparent oxide film that prevents electrical continuity. Melamine foam provides the specific level of micro-abrasion required to remove this film without destroying the metal plating, restoring the 'docked' handshake signal.

iRobot Home Base Charging Station
If the robot can find the dock but fails to secure itself after cleaning the contacts, the Home Base's internal IR beacon or charging circuit may be faulty. This assembly provides the localized IR beam that guides the robot into the 'tractor beam' for final alignment.

Replacement Front Bumper Assembly
The RCON (Room Confinement) sensor is housed in the top nub of the bumper; if this sensor or the IR-transparent window is heavily scratched or failed, the robot will be unable to see the dock's signal even if it is directly in front of it.
