Has anyone attempted to clean a picture disc? Did it damage/stain the disc?

Yes, used spin clean on a collectors edition picture disc, no damage to disc. Be sure to wipe dry right away, dont leave solution on it for any prolonged time.

The CD 340 gives instructions on the disc. Then you play through the cleaning track. It took using the cleaning disc two times to fix my problem but it did.

Yes, this product actually works very well - I have removed surface scratches from both DVDs and CDs. I wore out my first polishing wheel after repairing perhaps 3 dozen disks that were mine, or that I checked out at the library. If the disk is deeply scratched or gouged, however, this will not fix it - nothing will. In order to work, the scratch can only be deep enough that it can be polished off so you have a smooth surface. You can, and I have several times, run a DVD disk through the machine more than once. I ran one disk through it 4 times before it would play. I recommend this product.BruceInTexas, retired engineer Yes, this product actually works very well - I have removed surface scratches from both DVDs and CDs.

Soap and water in tank...there is a small brush specifically for cleaning the disc

I don't think you can wash it - I wiped the discs with a piece of cloth soaked in rubbed alcohol. Been using it for about 5 years, no issues what so ever. Good luck.

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

I had the same issues with sporadic disc-ejection problems. Dragging the disc icon to the trash, using the "Eject Disc" command from the pull down menu, or pushing the eject button on the unit often didn't work. It also would sometimes struggle with reading a blank disc or a disc with data on it. After six months of frustration, I finally bailed and got a different drive (an MCE Blu-Ray Player and SuperDrive, which has worked flawlessly.)

I think mine was doing that as well. We threw it out. I scrubbed it and it was still discolored.

try another dvd first,to make sure it is not the disc. then try a soft blast of canned air if you have it. this "cleaner" is a waste of money.it didn't do anything for my players/burners,NOTHING! good luck.

It depends on how damaged the disc is. You may or may not need to use the sanding pad first. The step that you will always need is the buffing step using the white solution. I disagree with the other response in that it is very messy. You will get a little bit of the white solution on your fingers, but it is easy to wipe off. The blue solution step is optional. I never use it. After the buffing step I just spray the disc with disc cleaner and wipe it off. It has restored a couple CDs and DVDs that would not play to perfect working order for me.

Glad you asked. Did the same thing to my disc as well, you have to tear the entire thing apart if you want your disc back. =[

I used the phillips brand on mine and it fixed up my problems. If your problem is just a dirty lens this should help. Make sure your cd is unscratched when before and after testing. These are good to use on your home cd and dvd players as well, including computer drives.

No. It will not clean a CD from not working to working. You will need a CD cleaner.

I have a had a similar "No Disc" error and the unit is not even a month old. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Mr., Miss, or Ms?To answer your question, I have used the disk cleaner in all my machines and so far so good. I also have an older DVD player plus an older DVD recorder plus my Blu-Ray and I have cleaned all of them OK. with the disk cleaner in question. My hobby is seeing and collecting movies so I use my machines many hours a month. The disk cleaner did a super job on all of them and restored them back to original operating condition. I cannot guaranty it will work on your machine but it did work on all mine. "RAF"

It does very well cleaning. Just my two cents though, don't put any discs that have a golden look to them (such as xbox 360 games). They will become unreadable.
