So, not a recommendation then? ;-)

Are you saying that if I take off the cover from my CD player I will
be able
to see the laser lens?

I might do something as relatively easy as that, but I wouldn't want
to get
into any major dismantling.
I'd probably end up with a couple of screws and bit of bent metal
left over
when I put it back together. ;-)

Ususally a piece of cake. Remove the case and you should see the
transport mech. The lens is the little glassy lens-looking thing in
the centre of the transport. It will be usually be 'framed' by an oval
cut-out in the tray (to allow the laser to track across the CD).

The only bits you'll actually need to remove are the case top and it's
securing screws.
