A Compact Disc player uses a laser, we all know that, however what many
forget is that the PC is in a very dirty environment in most cases: just open
up any PC and look how much dirt and dust is trapped [sucked in by the
cooling fans] inside.
Thus the basic answer is, YES. These cleaning devices are available in most
PC shops or component suppliers, perhaps even on Amazon dot com.
Also bear in mind, PC CD reader / Writer is a very low cost device: we the
buyers have made it that way. SO there are a lot of cost cutting measures
which result in short product life. Many of my clients have had to replace
Burners within the first 18 months of their life. This is not specific to
any one brand.
