Yes only if the alcohol is 98-100% because sometime with 64% alcohol there is a little residue that can make the lens read incorrectly.
The 100% alcohol will evaporate completely
Although i agree with the answers saying to use compressed air, but sometime it just does not work 🙂
Use compressed air if its dust because alcohol is a liquid and electronics and liquids don’t go together:D
not advisable, you can easily knock the lens off a bit, rendering the cd drive useless.
Sure you can, but you have to take it apart. Though there are special lens cleaner CD-s out there. If that doesn’t help you, and your optic drive still reads only some CD/DVD-s you might want to give your laser a little boost from the potentiometer on the side of the head, if you have some basic experience. Don’t overdo it though, because if the laser is too bright, it might burn – ruin your CDs.
best of luck!
