well, a cd disk cleaning kit only costs <$10. I myself dont even know how one
would clean a cd drive if it was taken apart as the disk cleaner would do
everything.

 to clean the thing, that the cost of a cleaning will exceed the cost of a
 new 8X or 10X SCSI CD drive, and the bother of going inside the case,
 removing, and re-installing will be the same. I hate to pitch this drive,
 it's worked so well; is there anything non-invasive I can try before I give
 up on it?
 
 thanks much,
