Need help with a problem I'm having with my Chinon CDS435 CD-Rom. It seem to be doing a lots of retrys on Seeks & Re-Calubrations on reading anything from programs to dir's. This happens also with Audio CD's on Ramdom selection plays. I have clean the CD ROm Drive's lens using the CD-Lens cleaner disk supplied also use compressed air to blow out any dust inside the Rom Drive via the caddy door. Any help in this matter is appreciated. thanks. Andy

You might get lucky and discover that it's some simple problem (check your interface cables, reseat the SCSI board, etc.) but from what you say I fear you may have mechanical problems.
