The procedure was the same as this. I learned some other tricks/techniques though, such as poking a hole through the sticker cover with a needle then applying 1-2 drips of 3 n 1 oil. Then top off the hole with a smiley face sticker and your in business. :-) The CD writer was a Matsushita (Panasonic) 7502B model. That writer burned so much and never let me down.

Though I do think it's one area where preventative maintenance can really make a difference, regularly cleaning out the computer will drastically increase the life of fans and other components.
