I'm trying to sort a laptop where the DVD drive has stopped reading any discs. Before replacing it with a new one an I.T. tech suggested trying cleaning the lens with a dvd lens cleaner.

I've a had a quick look on Amazon but in the descriptions most mention some sort of menu or audio track taking you through the cleaning steps, however if the drive is refusing to "see" dvd/cds at all surely I won't be able to go through the cleaning steps? Any advice on particular brands to buy?

Thanks
 
Anyone any ideas? or do I need to post this in another section where more people will read it?
 
I.ve cleaned them with alcohol wipes before with some success. Normally, it's due to the heads going out of alignment though and replacing the drive is the only source.
