Is it possible for a faulty lens to scratch my cds?

I would think if the lens is out of adjustment and hitting the cd is a way to scratch the cd disk. normally the laser lens sets at a prescribed distance to pick up the magnetic signals of the disk.

Don't really see how but, I guess it would be possible. But if the lens were that out of alignment, the player would be worthless.

Yes any cd or dvd. it clacns the smudges and helps repair some of the scratches.

I have used lens filter for around 6 months while taking it in and out of Sony's leather case and a separate sports case, and I have used my t-shirt to clean the lens and I haven't seen any scratches on it yet.

Who knows, but I just cleaned two games that wouldn't read in the player, and they're working now. I think it depends on like mentioned, if the users are following the directions exactly, and also how badly damaged/scratched the discs are. I'm sure there's some that just won't fix, and well, we all know, you can't fix stupid.

No, the lens has a scratch resistant plastic cover for protection -- in a sense it's a transparent lens cap.

Most CDs are transparent to the light, and this one is somewhat like that. These are the only CDs that dont give me an error in my player, as well as others who I give my CDs to. You can use a cheaper brand like Verbatim where they have a white coat on the front, but those give errors for me. Maybe buy 3 of these at the local store and try them first, then buy this pack after if it works. Good luck!

Maybe you need to clean the DVD player. Possibly the disc itself is scratched too.

Another reviewer mentioned that there's a thin plastic protective coat over the lens that some people are not removing before using. Is this possibly your issue?

I have not used the product for CD Scratches, however it may be worth a try. Try on a disc you do not want to keep if it does not work.

Just a novice, but I installed a 52mm screw-on UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it from scratches. This keeps dirt off the lens and allows me to clean only the filter with alcohol wipes without fear of damaging the lens. If the UV filter gets scratched, it is easily, and most importantly, inexpensively replaced. Check with a real camera store for cleaning materials for lenses. On-line searches for camera forums should also provide a wealth of information.

I didn't know. The lens I brought was used and had fungus on the inside. You can always return the item if it doesn't work.

I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Mine was in perfect condition. A new lense should never have any scratches on the glass!,

You need to check the size of the diameter of your lens, it is usually indicated by a small white ball with a scratch in the middle stating the diameter.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards
