Disc Cleaning

We are now offering DVD, muscic CD, and gane CD cleaning to our patrons for $1 per disc. At this time, we will NOT being doing Bluray discs, as I am not sure if our machine is compatible (If I fond out that it is, I will let you know).

Please be sure to stress to people that the machine is meant to clean the discs of dirt that comes with normal use, and LIGHT scratches, but we CANNOT GUARANTEE (or give them their money back) that the cleaning will fix their issue(s). Also, pleas take a look at the disc before cleaning it - if it has very obvious and deep scratches, it is best to tell them that our machine probably won't help. It WILL NOT REMOVE DEEP SCRATCHES.

If a person has many discs to do, and we are busy, you can ask them to leave them for pick-up the next day if necessary (just FYI, the cleaning cycle takes 15 seconds and the deep cleaning cycle takes 30, so I imagine that even a few discs takes less time than the average fax). Also, if a person has A LOT of discs to do, they may want to try one or two of the worst one first, just to see if they are satisfied with the results.

The money will go in the drawer just like any fee or fine.

Lastly, please see me for a machine cleaning lesson - the machine needs to be cleaned regularly in order to work properly and give the best results!

Thanks!

CD / DVD Cleaner

After finding out that it will cost almost 100 bucks just to get the PACKAGING necessary to send the thing back (!!!!), I decided to take the dvd cleaner apart. It was chock full of dirt and dust, and one of the guide wheels was broken (which I think was causing the grinding sound). I cleaned it all up and fixed the guide wheel, and it seems to be fine now.

However, I discovered that there a million settings on this thing, and just pushing the button(s) one too many times will cause it to get "confused." I think it would be a good idea for me to go over how it works with everyone who is interested, just to make sure we are all on the same page and using it correctly.

We also need to be very gentle when inserting a disk - it looks like the guide wheel was just driven off track from too forceful pushing of the discs into the slot.
