Isopropyl alcohol is common but I doubt the lenses are glass so I would be leery at best. Try a bit of dish detergent on a cotton swab then rinse with clean swabs then dry. Be gentile though, I'm not too sure about the strength of a lens mechanism! (they just don't make thing as they should any more!) Mike LaPointe Truck Driver, Wanna be net admin.

My 6X-generation DVD drive has only recently decided that it will no longer read blue CD-Rs, but still reads pressed CDs and gold CD-Rs just fine. As the blue CD-Rs are a less reflective surface, I figured the lense might be a bit dusty and I should try cleaning the thing out (the CDs themselves are fine). Any suggestions on cleaning such a thing? Blowing a can of compressed air in the drive opening wasn't too effective. ;-)
