But the experts say do not give a drink to someone unconscious.
So I don't know if I'd want to use real top grain alcohol, but maybe a little bit of rubbing alcohol in a powered down and semi-comatose Mac (no battery either) may help bring it around.
I have revived a DVD superdrive on my mac mini which was not recognising any disk in this manner. Since the read write head is on the left side of the drive about 1 inch from the corner this process cleans the lense quite effectively. (make sure the PC is powered off)Ħ) Pull the credit card out and insert again - repeat 4-5 times - add some more cleaning fluid if it evaporates. (Camera lense fluid will do)ĥ) Insert the cloth wrapped credit card on the left most side of the slot drive by about 1.5 inches. Here is what you need to do:Ģ) Cut a strip of fine lint free cotton cloth as wide as the credit card and twice its length.ģ) Wrap the cloth around the credit card lengthwise and hold it taught between your thumb and forefinger at one end.Ĥ) Dab some lense cleaning fluid on the bottom side of the cloth wrapped card. You do not need to open the computer at all thus saving yourself a lot of hassle and anxiety. Hi Guys, This is a brilliant procedure to clean the optical head of the DVD Superdrive on a mac mini late 2009 edition or other macs using the slot loading DVD superdrive.
