[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1160450, member: 56379"] Only thought I would add...slot loading optical drives (MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs, Mac-mini's)...certainly are harder to clean than tray-loading drives. When you blast them with compressed air...where the heck does the dust or "dust bunnies" go...since the only opening (the slot) has that "fuzzy" material covering it. So the "dust bunnies" aren't gotten rid of...they're probably blown into a "nook" or void inside the drive. As far as lens cleaners. These (I think) have a better chance of working on a tray-loading optical drive (because they fit into the drive better)...do they even make these for slot-loading drives? I'm not really "knocking" either method...they're the same ideas I would recommend or use myself. Just mentioning that each method may have it's downside. - Nick [/QUOTE]
