HQ CD Lens Cleaner

First of all, i would like to state that this product was used on an Xbox 360, and only needed one use to fix.I was starting to have trouble with my Xbox 360, it was having trouble reading disks. Naturally i just assumed it was overheating and so i switched it off and left a fan over it to cool it down. The fan was on for 6 hours straight just to be safe. However, when switching the Xbox back on, and attempting to play a game, i was being prompted to open the tray, which only happens if/when there is no/unreadable disk in place. after many attempts of cleaning the disk, trying other games, and blowing into every nook and cranny of the Xbox i could find, i was still having the same problem. At this point it had become very frustrating as i have previously heard Xbox's have a tendency to fail. After assuming the worst, and thinking that my Xbox had been broken by something, i started to price up how much it would cost to get it fixed/replaced. I did not like the odds of getting a new one. So being enthusiastic about fixing it myself, i searched the interwebs and someone had tried using a disk cleaner, but to no prevail. Searching Amazon, i found this cheap one. So what if it doesn't work right? you cant exactly complain for the price. So i took my chances and gave it a shot. When the item came, i followed the instruction, which are also very easy to understand. Although the item comes with fluid, you have to pierce the funnel with a pin. when placed in the Xbox, it wouldnt run, so for the viewers who have the same problem. WHAT I DID: Open the tray, get a hairdyer and blow it into all the holes/openings of the Xbox, quickly insert the disk, and bang (you may have to try different strengths) on top of the xbox where the disk would be inside, do this untill the Xbox reads the disk.When running, the disk gets to work straight away, and the instructions are incredibly easy. It literally took me 2 minutes to fix my xbox. a problem which had been occuring for a number of weeks, was fixed with app £3.00 and two minutes worth of time. strange huh?Overall, the product is excellent! (it was for me anyway) gets to work straight away! only takes a number of minutes!BEST PART?IT IS CHEAP, AND IT WORKS!i would recommend this item to anyone having trouble with disk reading!

Item was received within 48 hours of ordering so excellent service.As said in other reviews, the top of the solution bottle does need piercing to release the solution, but I popped a drop onto the cloth attached to the CD, and placed the CD into my DVD player which had been playing up for months, either taking several tries to load a disc, or more often than not, completely failing to recognise a disc had been put in.The CD told me to go to track 2 for english instructions, then move to track 9 when I heard a noise. I became concerned as track 9 was just a series of worrying whirring from my player and not music as described, but after reading reviews and seeing that track 2 is the actual cleaning, decided to take my chances and eject the disc.When I put a DVD in to test the player, it loaded instantly - therefore job done and at a good price!

Very good quality. Tried it a few times before it worked . Didn’t have sound instructions as my cd player never worked. Worth the money.

The concept has been around for a long time and I have used CD/DVD cleaners before; generally speaking, they are what they are - cheap but functional things.This product is exactly that. It is cheap, but functional and as a result, useful but not great. If you are looking for an amazing gadget that will change your life, this is not it. If you are looking to clean your CD/DVD player for only a few of your hard-earned coins, then you are in luck - buy one!

Great tool for cleaning one's cd collection

I will change my review if makers get back to me but this isn't suitable fora DVD which it says it sis as there is no menu and no way to get the DVD past the long list of instructions in different languages. It said when you hear the beep to skip to track 9 but if you try to it just starts from the beginning again. Hopeless for the job I wanted it for prob OK for CDS. Agree with users who said getting into the packaging is ridiculously hard and there is no pin in the lid to prick open the bottle so you are forced to sue scissor sunless you happen to be a seamstress with a needle handy! Then too much of the liquid spurts out.

I have two CD players on my system. My old and trusty Arcam Alpha One and a Technics CD player which started skipping and made me think the CD's len's motor bearings were U/S. Rather than just bin the Technics, as parts are no longer available, I decided it was worth using a CD lens cleaner. I chose this brand of CD lens cleaner as it used a wet system to clean the laser diode, rather than brushes alone. Be warned, the fluid bottle's nozzle needs carefully piercing with a pin and take care not to pop the nozzle off the bottle. A couple of drops onto each brush and into the CD player. Press go and follow the instructions. The cleaning takes no time at all after pressing track 2 to follow the English instructions and track 9 after the tone. My Technics has stopped skipping and the Arcam sounds even better for a lens clean. For the money, it was definitely worth a go for the Technics, although had the motor bearings been worn, no amount of cleaning would have cured the problem. Being contained within the CD player, you tend not to think the laser can pick up dust and dirt, but they certainly do and an inexpensive clean can make all the difference to the sound and performance of the player. A good product for sure and worth recommending to others.

It cleaned my cd laser but took quite a few attempts but did work, the brush thing attached was slightly crunched which definitely didn’t help.
