G'day all ,
I have begun to notice that a lot of cdr's that i burn at 24x can't be read
by a lot of older(3 years+) cdrom players on systems that i am
rebuilding..It doesn't seem to be related to speed as quite often an old
40X drive will have the same problem as a much older 8x ..I have seen those
cd lens cleaner kits..worthwhile getting?? or are those old drives just not
capable of reading todays fast burnt cdr's.
thanks for any info or insights.

The older ones don't like certian color disks. Try another brand of
blank CD's.

I've used compressed air with success a couple of times. Dust collects
on the laser assembly and the readout starts becoming intermittent.
Reads sometimes, sometimes not. A good blast of air fixed the problem
for me both times. Worth a try.

Some don't like certain colour dyes. Some won't read multisession CDs.
Some won't read CDs that haven't been closed.

They are not designed for PC Cdrom lens and can damage them.Don't use
them.See other posts as Photographer's clean compressed air cans can
sometimes help if you do suspect the lens but even these can shift
more dust onto the lens if the user is unlucky :/
