hmm, the best way is to do that is by opening the drive, you will need the following items:
1) Philips screw driver.
2) Medical Alcohol or Cologne (make sure if you use the latter, that it doesn't have any kind of oil)
3) Q-Tips.
4) A needle. (no I am not kidding).
To open the drive's tray without being connected to the power, you'll need to use a needle, insert it
in the small hole in the tray's cover. push it firmly and you will see the tray ejects, so now
you can remove the cover easily.. (or simply you can turn off the computer
while the tray is open
)
The tracks where the tray moves on may be dusty, believe me, it's not the first time I have seen dust, hair, seeds' shells inside my optical
drive, amazingly it still works fine!!
the rest is self explanatory, clean everything you see.
