Are cleaner CD's bad for computers?

Question

Also, my laptop isn't reading any CD i put in it. It acts like there is no CD at all. I tried cleaning it w/ a cleaning CD and it still didnt work. Then someone said that cleaning CD's aren't good for computers and they might screw it up. I don't know whats going on. Help appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

I dont know whether they are actually "bad" or not (although I doubt it), but I rarely find them useful anyway. If your drive isn't recognising anything, its a sign the drive itself is faulty. You'll probably be needing a new one.
