I'm having problems with multimedia CD-ROMS on my internal NEC 84 SCSI
CD-ROM player (mostly seek errors and problems, apparently, reading the
disc) which do not occur when running these same discs (in the same CD-ROM
caddy) on my NEC 73 external CD-ROM player at work.  I am assuming that the
problem is due to dust on the laser lens / bad alignment on the drive (but
if anyone has some alternate suggestions....)

Is there a good way of cleaning the CD-ROM lens without opening up the drive?
(which I believe is a Major Bad Thing to do.)  If not, do you know if PC
repair centers usually have someone who can be paid to align your CD-ROM
drive?  (Mine's about 2-3 months old, and under warranty, but God, I don't
want to have to extract it from out of my PC again and mail it somewhere
unless I *have* to.)

Any advice or suggestions you can offer this ignorant sould would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
