Introduction
This guide shows where to locate and clean the lens that reads the discs. This will take delicate work in order not to damage the lens.
What you need

-
Remove four 7.5 mm Phillips screws on the both sides (2 on each side).
-
Remove five 7.5 mm Phillips screws on the back of the player.
-
-
-
Lift the top panel from the back and remove. It should come off without being forced. There is a lip near the front so you many need to slide the top panel back slightly to remove it.

-
Locate the lens on the disc drive.
-
Dip one end of a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol.
-
Lightly dab the swab on the lens. Be very gentle.
