Open tray and blow some air into it , thats about the best you can do to clean the lens without pulling it apart .

If the unit is getting on , two years or older , it could be a sign of it wearing out depending on how much work it has done over the time you have owned it , but it might just be wanting the firmware updated to start off with .

Remember , this media dosent tolerate not being cared well for , and there are time's when all of us have suffered purchased dvd's which have decided to no longer work properly .

Isobuster might be worth investigating , but if they cant even be read by the unit , it wont help .

Place the dvd with the printed side upside down on a hard , flat surface , and use a soft lint free cloth , gently , and slowly clean from the center to the outer rim in a straight line , do this a couple of times , then try them again .

Might get them readable .
