Protecting Your Optical Drive

To keep your optical drive working properly:

Â

Position your computer so that the drive tray doesn’t bump into anything when
it opens.

Â

Close the drive when you’re not using it.

Â

Do not put anything on the drive tray when it is open.

Â

Do not touch the optical drive lens with your fingers. Do not wipe the lens with a
paper towel or other abrasive surface. If you need to clean the lens, see an Apple
Authorized Service Provider for a lens cleaner.

Â

Keep your computer away from any source of moisture.

Making adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified
