Any equipment wears out and breaks down over time. The same fate awaits the drive of your computer. Due to a clogged lens, it begins to read discs worse. If you do not do prevention, then soon you will have to replace it with a new one. Read on for how to clean the lens of the drive.
Necessary
- - liquid for washing contact lenses;
- - straw;
- - soft brush.
Instructions
Step 1
Disconnect the power supply. Remove the drive from the system unit of your personal computer and then disassemble it. Take a straw (meaning a cocktail tube). Bring it to the lens. Press one edge against the drive head.
Step 2
Then, carefully pull the saw through the tube to clean the lens. Do not under any circumstances blow. Otherwise, dust will mix with humid air and firmly adhere to the lens and head. Also, do not touch the lens to avoid disrupting its alignment.
Step 3
Take a small plastic container. You will need it to put your lens care fluid in there. The container must be dry. Never reach into it with your fingers. This can lead to the fact that some small particle gets into the liquid, which, mixed with it, can then damage the surface of the lens.
Step 4
Take a soft brush. Dip it in liquid and slide it over the lens. Select the direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the disc Note that the fluid should flood the lens of the drive, but never get onto the drive head itself.
Step 5
After the liquid has been applied, wait five minutes. During this time, all the dirt that has accumulated in the lens should dissolve. To permanently clean the drive lens, brush over it with a dry but still damp brush. This will remove any remaining dirt.
Step 6
Dry the lens. To do this, lead it with a dry soft sour. This procedure should be repeated until the lens is visually dry. Then cover the drive with a paper towel (never use a cloth). Wait 15 minutes.
Step 7
After that, remove the tissue and inspect the lens. If there is residue on it, remove it with a brush. Then cover the lens with a paper towel again and let sit for another 15 minutes. Examine the lens carefully. If its surface is clean, reassemble the drive and install it in its original place in the system unit.
