Floppy Drive

NOTICE:

Do not attempt to clean drive heads with a swab. You might accidentally

misalign the heads which prevents the drive from operating.

Clean your floppy drive using a commercially available cleaning kit. These kits

contain pretreated floppy disks to remove contaminants that accumulate during

normal operation.

CDs and DVDs

NOTICE:

Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the CD/DVD drive, and

follow the instructions that come with the compressed-air product. Never touch the

lens in the drive.

If you notice problems, such as skipping, with the playback quality of your CDs

or DVDs, try cleaning the discs.

1 Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the

center hole.

NOTICE:

To avoid damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around

the disc.

2 With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the bottom of the disc (the

unlabeled side) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge of the

disc.
For stubborn dirt, try using water or a diluted solution of water and mild

soap. You can also purchase commercial products that clean discs and

provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. Cleaning

products for CDs are also safe to use on DVDs.
