Anyone crack open your DVD player?
...and spray it with a can of compressed air to clean the dust out ?
Does this work? I'm down to my last wits now... I've bought a lens cleaner...nothing. and I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't save much toget it repaired than to buy a new one... any ideas ? |
No no no
First of all compressed air most often isn't compressed air, it's a chemical compound. Said chemical compound can damage the lens of a player/recorder of optical media. You won't believe how many hardware items come back as defectives to the chain I work for as a result of people doing just this. Unless you want a new paper weight, I would advise against it. If your problems lie with the lens, dust won't be the culprit.

It's HOW you use it!!! Short bursts, not a steady stream! You are right about other compounds being in the can. Just DON'T turn the can upside down & spray it on yourself or any electronic components as it has a 'freezing' effect! |
