Incredible – it worked. I am travelling and needed to burn a DVD when my “Superdrive” failed on me. As I did not have any tools with me, your straw method was perfect for me. And it worked. I am amazed Thanks a lot!

Worked fine for my MBP, too!
Before, I couldn’t burn DVDs anymore (always got error messages, e.g. ‘Error Code 0x8002006e’) but now, after a nice blow of compressed air my SuperDrive seems to be reborn.
Thanks!

A better way to make sure you’re not spitting all over your drive is to put a piece of tissue or paper towel over the straw. where you’re blowing.

Thanks for the tip. Used compressed air, and worked straight off. Thought it was cheap dvds from Jessops.
