DVD drive

[Erebus Kronos]

Okay heres the problem. I use a SONY VIAO laptop. There's something wrong with my DVD drive. My best guess is the lens that reads the disc. I say that because I put the DVD in and it won't read the disc so I tke is out and put ot back in and it reads it but it takes longer than usual. My guess is that the lens need to be cleaned. If I'm right what to I use to clean it? Or if I'm wrong can you tell me so I can take it into the shop to get it fixed once again.

thanks

Any normal 'lense cleaning cd' kit should work just fine.

It has a set of actual tracks for data, which are used for cleaning comparisons, when in use. The easiest way to spot one is the small 'fibers' on the 'bottom' of the disc. These are what cleans your laser lense.

DVD Lens Cleaner - Google Product Search <---Such products.
(Froogle FTW.)

Maxell, will probably be your best choice.

Alright thanks I'll look at target or best buy this week end.

I had my laptop for about 6 to 7 years. Yes, it's old and slow.
