[78-L] whats the best way to clean the lazer in a cd player

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

My set-top DVD burner (smaller laser) started aborting in the record 
cycle. I cleaned it with a Memorex disc the kind with the little brush 
on it and that fixed the problem for a while. Then it started doing it 
again, or aborting at the finalize cycle. I finally had to replace it. 
I've read on the net that cleaning helps, but getting the thing open is 
a job and I've not found the time to do that. I bought another machine, 
the same model on eBay. It worked great for a while, then started to 
show the same symptoms. So I bought another machine, this time new and 
it is working well so far.
