    How to clean the lens on the DVD drive of a BC1

    Guys

    My BC1 is starting to stop midway through DVD playback.....

    Any ideas what could be causing this, or what I can do to clean the lens....

    It doesn't like my CD lens cleaner disc that I have...

    Thanks

    Gary

    It might be an overheating issue, which was addressed in this thread.

    edit: just noticed you said BC1, not DVD1

    gk31ax:

    help?

    Seem to recall a similar BC1 issue where it was suggested that there might be a timer issue if CDs were found to play right through, but longer running DVD's turned off prematurely at about the same running time. ( But I don't know whether that turned out to be the actual problem in that particular case.)

    my DVD1 had problems where the DVDs kept skipping and freezing.

    i opened the case.

    the lens was foggy with dust!

    got a cotton bud for cleanign your ears (clean one) and used some isopropyl alcohol that you can buy from chemist or a hifi shop. alterntaively the sterile wipes do the same trick.

    try that.

    my DVD1 works beautifully.

    Not sure I want to open up the BC1? Anyone in or around London that can help me?

    Thanks
