Well,it de-twitched the twitchy cd-dvd burner in my desktop, which is what I bought it for, didn't work at all on the cd changer in my stereo, which was a secondary purpose. But that is probably down to me being a smoker who hasn't tried to clean the lens in my stereo for to long.

                Comments about Staples® CD Drive Cleaner:

                I was not able to use the CD/DVD drive of my MacBook Pro.
                There were a lot of recommendations in internet from uninstalling and reinstolling the program to buying an external disc drive.
                Until I found one person that gave me the big tip: a CD/DVD cleaner.
                I run to Staples and I bought it! and Eureka.

                    This product does not interface with a computer at all. When you place it in your disk drive this device is simply spun, cleaning the components of your computer's drive in the process; this device contains no information.

                • Q:

                  How long do you let it run? Is it suppose to automatically stop and eject? It didn't. Also, the arrow. What do they mean "insert with the arrow pointing FORWARD"? Forward towards what?
                  Asked on 5/24/2012 by Patti from Chambersburg, PA

                  1 answer

                  • A:

                    Usually the cleaning will only take 30-45 seconds, sometimes more. If there are multiple tracks on the CD, check for an audio track that will give you instructions. It is not supposed to automatically stop and eject by default, that just depends on the settings of the CD drive you put it in.
                    As far as the arrow is concerned, you'll point the arrow away from you. To double check that you're putting the CD in the tray the correct way, look at the bottom. There should be a 1-3 small brushes built into the bottom of the disk, these brushes should sit inside the open part of the CD tray.
