I already had issue with dust on the lens of various CD/DVD drives in the household (eg. Every sign pointed to either a broken optical drive or malfunction due to dusty lens. This was the last drop of water in the glass. This was quite strange, but I was still not very suspicious (this is my first Mac and having grown up using PCs with Windows I got used to failures).However lately I started to have problems even reading my CDs and DVDs. The burn process started OK, but near the end (or maybe during writing the lead out?) it failed with some mysterious error message.

For me it was worth the trouble. Put it back into the MBP, put the MBP together and test the optical drive's CD/DVD reading and writing capabilities to see if the cleaning had any positive effect. It didn't seem risky to take apart so I started the process.Reassembling the unit should be a piece of cake. After having spent some time with Google, I've stumbled on a discussion thread on Apple's forums that contained a few pics of a slot-loading SuperDrive's internals. Notebook optical drives are a lot smaller and I wanted to see some proof-of-concept photos to get reassurance. I had no difficulties with my old PC's 5.25' Plextor DVD-writer (you just had to remove the screws from the drive's case and take off the upper part and the lens was right there), but I've never taken apart a slot-loading drive.

I live close to a road with a pretty high traffic and not too rich vegetation, so a lot of dust is coming into the flat. So it's now quite certain that my drive needs cleaning every 20 months. And since I bought my MBP during Christmas in 2006 (27th of December to be precise), it was 20 months between the date of purchase and the first cleaning. The time period was almost 20 months.

I only wanted to make a print of my fotoalbum created with iPhoto on my MacBook2) then I had to buy not only iPhoto version 11 but a whole package with iMovie etc (iLife)3) and an upgrade of Leopard to Snow Leopard to get it installed4) then I went to the store to hurry things (I always trie to impress my girlfriend with my MacBookPro) and lined up in a queue5) could not buy the software here - (only online) and cycled home again (with my laptop in my backpack)6) bought it online - UPS came stayed home - but the internal video system appeared not to work so I missed him7) on the second day the courrier made a phone call before delivery finally I had my software8) I put the CD inside - and my Mac gave it back, it even wont read my favourite BradPitt film anymore9) called Apple tech center the P-R-reset did not work I was adviced to go to the Apple store I began with earlier this week10) while my stocks are falling - I tried the internet as last escape and there it was, more Apple users with the same problem11) I tip helped me out : use a credit card, wrap your spectacles tissue cleaner around it, damped with alcohol12) totaly frustrated I put the credit card and the tissue in the CD opening, twice - without alcohol. So thanks Chris (who was the first to suggest the credit card method on 15th April 2009)!I was really frustrated this week. I've repeated this a couple of times, then tried to read the CD again and it worked. It's a lot slimmer than a regular credit card, so I wrapped the same cloth around it and pushed it through the hole.

A motherboard issue shortly after purchase had helped to prime her negatively I must admit so I didn't want to lose this one. A lame duck crossed my field of vision as I contemplated her words. 'If Mac's are some damned good,( and so pricey!) then why do they go wrong as much as this one. I figured more expenditure on a new Superdrive which didn't sit well with my wife who had helped finance it. I've had my 'used' Macbook pro,( early 2008 version- non unibody) for about a year and the superdrive had never worked which has caused more than a little consternation. Michael, The NetherlandsI was two short steps from madness.

Hey, the wife may even let me back into the bedroom again,(I sleep at the foot of the bed!).My macbook pro became picky about the media as well.after a good research I knew it needed a cleaning. A huge thanks to all the commentary's on this forum. Simple, a real game changer and,( if a dirty lens is the issue) then a big saver in time, frustration and cost. The result? restored faith! One Gym membership card wrapped in a single use lens cleaner tissue and bingo!, two swipes later the drive purred into life.

Just a few tips: I placed the cloth a bit to the left since LT pointed the lens should be at the left hand side. The drive works perfectly. I wrapped the cloth around the plastic (like U shape around the front of the plastic), then while holding the ends of the the cloth I inserted few centimeters from the front of the plastic covered with the cloth in the optical drive, pushed and pulled a bit and it was all cleaned. After careful reading of many threads I came to the following conclusions and eventually a solution:1) Don't use compressed air since it will just make things worse: it's going to blast all the dust inside.2) Don't try to squeeze cotton swabs through the optical drive since it's too big and will leave some stuff.3) Cleaning CDs may work but cheap ones may damage the lens by scratching it.4) Quick free solution: I used a thin plastic (came with the packaging of an SD card, but you can get any plastic used for packaging goods - usually the ones for electronics are tiny enough and strong enough for the job) + iPhone cleaning cloth (other similar cleaning cloth that's thin and doesn't leave marks for example for cleaning glasses).

All took me exactly 10sec to do. You don't need to insert it so much since the lens is not so deep inside. Hold the loth so it doesn't get inside the slot.
