The charging contacts on Airports Pro 3 appear to have undergone electrochemical corrosion.

As shown in the picture, the charging contacts on my Airports Pro 3 appear to have undergone electrochemical corrosion. I went to the store and they told me this might not be covered under warranty! Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?
