How to clean the CD/DVD-Player/burner (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875) on my iMac
I have a iMac early 2008, and I wonder how I can clean my CD/DVD - Player/Burner (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875). The Matshita spits out some cd's and some dvd's (not all) even if they are clean and with none damage. Have heard rumours who says that on the CD/DVD player/burner on Macbook Pro you can clean the player/burner with a shammy (wraped around a creditcard)inside the slot. Any suggestions?
The Matshita has been very choosy from the day i bought the iMac, but not as choosy as today. I consider to buy a new externally CD/DVD - player/burner. I have not time to send it in to service (4-6 weeks). But maybe someone out there has a good solution to fix this problem 🙂

Hi, yes I kno' the disk drives can be choosy on which make they read & write on.
You could try one ov those disk cleaning
CD's - usually sold @ stores like, Walmart, BestBuy or Target..
An external unit would work well, I'm not sure I agree with your thoughts on the service turn round time.
Why not visit your local Apple Approved

I've used an external burner for years; it is far more robust and less "choosy" and they are quite inexpensive; I only use the internal for the install disk or if I want to copy a CD.
