[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1941574, member: 110816"] The spinning is mechanical, the read/writing of data is through lasers. These drives don't do well with dust. Back in the day when we all used them, they used to sell a lens cleaning CD that essentially had a brush affixed to it, it would spin and clean the lens. There isn't any other real way of getting access to the lens. So you might try that to see if it does anything.. [/QUOTE]
