[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1165026, member: 56231"] Apple has long been coy about revealing which brand of optical drive is used inside the Mac, but I fancy the Pro one is a Sony (someone will know). Cleaning the lens is best done with a cotton bud and alcohol, but if that's not practicable then use a squirt or three of compressed air from a can, or buy/use a cleaning disk. I believe so, a long time since I tried it, but the Pro version is the one I've used. You can but try it (which I cannot presently do with this old G3). Which suggests to me that it's a hardware issue, but by all means try gsahli's recommendation of a new user account. [/QUOTE]
