Maybe I'm unlucky then but I've never managed to get one working by cleaning. Now I don't even bother

The lens is pretty obvious to see on a moving carrier. As the carriers sometimes clog with dust gently moving it along the track a few times may help too.
If it still won't work then yes it's time to replace it but spending a few minutes on maintenance is always worth a try.
Thanks have got the cotton buds to hand will have a go now (keeping fingers crossed)0
