Try this at your own risk OneWatt, but you may be able to clean the lens w/ a 100% cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. Let me say this again, Try at your own risk. I hope this helps a bit

BTW, I'm assuming you already used some compressed air to blow away any dust and debris.

Yes I did try Compressed Air and I do understand it is my own Risk. You See I have a new one coming So If I mess it up no big deal. I have everything To gain nothing to Lose
Do you have Any other ideas
Thank you verry much
