Fixed my A-3

[mytime]

About a mo ago one of my A-3s took a dump on me and would not read HD-DVDs. It read DVDs just fine. I took the cover off and cleaned everything with canned air and now it works fine. I'm thinking some dust must have caused the problem. Just thought I would pass this on for any other A-3 owners.

Good to know, thanks.

When using canned air before "air-blasting" your component give the aerosol can a couple of short burst to dislodge any moisture that has a tendency to build up in the canisters and that will avoid moisture being sprayed onto components especially lens or electronic connections. I usually give a couple of short burst into a tissue which would quickly reveal any moisture and avoid any condensation buildup. ( Tip of the day )

+1. Especially make sure to do this if you're using the canned air to get dust off your tv screen. That liquid, should it hit your screen, can do very bad things to the finish.
