Why to change lens? :shock:
There is no need for this !!!

You must perform good cleaning of lens and heart of optical device.
Check firmware update and ways to do this if possible.

I resolve about 30-40 pieces of optical devices just with cleaning!!!.

Flashing firmware with new version, often can help device to recognize some newer media.


Use isopropanol (isopropyl alchohole) for cleaning lens !!!!!!! NOT standard medical alchohol!!!!
