hey guys,

The lens on my diode (not the lens that screws into the aixiz module) I guess has some water moisture on it or dust or something so i was wondering how to clean it. On the wall there is the dot in the middle and there is a blur around the outside. Yes i do know that blu-rays are "blurry" but this isnt blur it is actually part of the dot Any ideas? Like tissue or something? :-?

Thanks

Dont spray it at an angle, or just let everything settle then you can spray, clean air should come out :)
That happened to my friends diode, I helped him fix it that way, also i took a Q-tip and fluffed the cotten a little and Lightly spun it on the diode lens.
Hope I helped ;D

Generally with canned air I start the air spray, make sure no liquid is coming out, and then bring the diode towards it to blow stuff off. You'll need it for the Q-tip too, as it sometimes leaves bits of cotton on the lens which needs to be blown off.

Just make sure you don't be an idiot and listein to the kid down the road that said "just rub it in a circle motion with your finger because that will *insert stuff that sounds smart but makes no sence* you see now?"
