RNS-D CD Drive lens cleaning
 

Found this handy guide on the web whilst searching how to do this very thing.

How to clean the CD-Rom lens of the RNS-D.

Very straight forward, if you don't lose any of the bits.

Good find! - added to sticky +++

Just did this today as my RNS-D has been misbehaving; simple enough to follow.
Sadly it didn't make any difference. :-(

It works fine with the original (2003) CD and copies I've made myself.
But not with the later 2012/13 CD's - I've tried several now including 3 different ones Adrian supplied.

So, I guess I'm looking for a replacement RNS-D at a fair price.
(not really interested in all the work to fit an RNS-E, unless someone is offering to do it at a sensible all-in price)

I think I got a spare working CD unit if you're interested.
Or a complete RNS-d unit.

PM on its way....... ;)

Just for everyone's info this means the CD drive inside the RNS-D specifically for the navigation CD.
I'm buying one from Scott and we'll see how that works. Fingers crossed. :cool:
As I'm used to dismantling and fixing assorted electronic devices, and have already had a look inside, this doesn't look at all difficult. :rolleyes:

Really hope this sorts it for you Andrew! Seems to be no logic to when these things fail....

Andrew, I'm going to order a CD off Adrian to test with the unit I send out.
Want to make sure its fully works before I send it out.

Adrian, I'll have a CD please. pm on its way.

As I already have 2 different CD's from Adrian you might as well send the drive to me, unless you really do want to test it yourself first. ;)

If you're happy I'll post it out Monday.
