Avid MD user since 96...but I finally ran into a problem I can't solve on my own To make a long story short, I have 5 discs that got soda spilled into them, and now they have gooey residue inside them. I would really like to salvage the discs, if possible. I am wondering if anyone has had this happen, and what the best way to remedy this issue would be? I tried to clean the majority of the residue off with alcohol, but it was only marginally successful. I tried playing one of the discs in a cheap portable, and it appears it can't spin the platter because the sticky residue has permeated frozen it in place. I was thinking of soaking the discs in "goo-gone" (basically naptha or lighter fluid), then rinsing them with water and letting them dry thoroughly, but I don't want to risk losing the information on the disc. I tried searching the forums, and google was not much help either. I did, however, find an automatic disc cleaner online, and if anyone thinks this might work I would gladly purchase it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All!!
