How To Clean Your Laptop CD/DVD ROM

As you know most laptop, notebook ROMs are fixed all together, so that when you pull out the tray you can see the motor and focus lens. When they are used long term dust particles attach to the surface of the focus lens and gives you a hard time trying to read your disks. Most people think it is due to a fault of their disk, it maybe the disk (click here to see how to clean cds and dvds) but in some cases it is the cause of dust particles being attached to focus lens.

First lets see what you need to clean the focus lens.

  Any type of baby cologne

 Cotton buds (small)

Cotton

Now let us see how you should do it.

  Take the cotton bud and dip it in the cologne well so that the bud is soaked well with cologne but at the same time make sure that the cologne does NOT drip.








 Now open the tray of your ROM and you will the the focus lens, which looks like a small glass circle,.. place the soaked cotton bud on the lens lightly and clean it, but make sure you don't flood the lens. Now let it dry ( it will dry in a few seconds, so don't worry ;).









Now to clean the rest of the ROM
  Get a piece of cotton and slightly dip it in cologne, and again make sure the cologne does not drip from the cotton. Now clean the rest of the visible parts of the tray and motor.
 The cologne will dry off in a few seconds and you are good to go.





CAUTION this procedure should be done with a lot of patience and also do NOT close the tray until everything is dry.
