Shaun H Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 You want something like that. They're CDs with little brushes attached which clean the lens on the player. Got ours from PC World I think..... just go have a look around there or Comet etc. :( :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 if its less than a year old you probably have a warranty with the manufacturer, who did you get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 if its less than a year old you probably have a warranty with the manufacturer, who did you get it from? my dads 'comptuer guy' for his workplace built it up for me. i think he budgeted alot of the parts in sacrifice for upgrading graphics and speed etc.. so maybe its just a shitty dvd-rw?

Danny Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 If the drives that new it could be the disk that your using. Are the elcheapo disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I use datawrite ones from http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk they cost about £2.50 for 25 and are pretty good quality. Those silver topped disks many places sell are generally pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
