Our two-year old Apple CD-ROM reader just quit reading discs. We put a disc in and the drive just spins and never mounts the disc. I'm assuming this is the dreaded dusty lens syndrome. What IS the recommended method for cleaning the lens and solving the problem? -- michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael McGuffey, Director BITNET: mcguffey@muvms3 Office of Institutional Research Internet: mcguffey%muvms3@wvnvms.wvnet.edu Marshall University Phone: 304/696-3212 Huntington, WV 25755 FAX: 304/696-3601 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I do own the following, which I have used *successfully* on a recalcitrant *AUDIO* CD player: Compact Disc Laser Lens Cleaner LLC-1 AudioSource (r) 1327 North Carolan Avenue Burlingame, CA 94010 To put it simply, it looks like a CD with a little brush on the underside. I bought it in a record store. jim -- Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com +1.408.991.6061 Silvar-Lisco, Inc. 703 E. Evelyn Ave. Sunnyvale, Ca. 94086
