I just thought of something. Even if you clean the spindle/hub thoroughly, why would the drive make those noises when the tray is empty? There's no disc for the spindle to grab, so would it make a difference whether the spindle is clean or not?

Just wondering how/why cleaning the spindle would help resolve the noises when there's no disc...

Also is it not a good idea to power-on the unit when the DVD drive cover is off (with the lens, grips, and other mechanics exposed)?

Thanks again.
