Uh, /)eathkiller? In order to get at the lens on your average PC CD-ROM you have to do some fairly severe dismantling, and break the warranty seal. At least on the tray types it does, if you have a caddy system it would maybe be easier to get at. Anyway, its far easier to get a standard head-cleaner CD (audio, PSX, theyre all the same) and try that.
But in this case it sounds more severe than would be cause by a dirty lens. Desides dreamers already cleaned it. Unless a cable has come loose i think its dead.
Oh, BTW, does BIOS detect your CD-ROM on boot-up?
