CD is deeply scratched

[andy704]

i have a ps2 game that is deeply scratched. well i wouldnt say it was that deeply scratched but enough where the system wont play it anymore. and its not the system, its the cd. is there anyway i can fix that cd? and ive tried toothpaste. ive tried pledge.

Try car wax. Nothing new and fancy with beads or anything. just regular green turtle car wax. I've had ok results with it. This is exaclty why I got a chip and only play my backups in the PS2. Another backup can me made from the original in a few mins.

TRY STICKING IT IN THE FREEZER OVERNIGHT. THIS HAS WORKED ON A FEW OF MY SLIGHLY FUCKED CDS. OTHERWISE TRY VASELINE SMEARED OVER THE AFFECTED AREA THEN WIPE OF WTH APPROPRIATE CLOTH. OVER

This WILL sound like a joke but it has worked for me befor (a time or 2) put it in the toilet with the "picture part" facing up and flush. I swear it works.

[andy704]

tried the vaseline already. and trauma... lol does it really work?? what was goingt through your head when you decided to do that?

Err, this is an interesting way for me to make a 1st post... I tried to copy a scratched disc that kept jumping during play. I thought I damaged it and it wasn't my personal property. I searched the web for tricks; toothpaste, detergent, rubbing it up a brick wall but all failed..

In the end I bought a DiscDr for £30 which was quite expensive. It repaired the damaged disk in minutes and I was then able to copy it and give the owner an unscratched disc in return. I've had it over a year and only used it around 6 times, but if you know people who have scratched discs u can provide a service and make ur money back as companies do..

I have one of those. For some people they work like a dream. For other people like me, it trashes everything put in it.

[benagain]

I have a manually operated one. I have trashed 3 discs but that was because there was some substance (not cum) on the surface and the wheel dragged the substance and made the whole thing worse.

That's what I thoght was happening to mine (also not cum), but I think it's something with the gears in it. It'll run fine, but every now and then a gear slips or something and it drags funny. After I've done a whole disk, about 3/4 of it is clear, but the last quarter of the surface looks like it was run over by a dump truck draggin metal pipes.

hmm quick to deny arent we? :smokin:

[Nochowderforyou]

Yeah, I've also heard of these disc machines that take the scratches out. A the local new and used shop, they charge $5 to turn your old CD's into new. Never tried myself, but from what I hear those machines work wonders.

[andy704]

does it like polish it or does it scrape off a thin layer. because if it sorta polishes then i dont think itll help.

Well, seeing as this is CDRepairForum.com, I can't believe you haven't gotten the technical, in depth answers you'd expect from the trained CD Repair Professionals who post here on CDRepairForum.com

I have used Brasso to repair CD's before now and CDR's

Shake well and using a very soft lint free cloth rub parrelel to the scratch.

Then clean up the Brasso with Distiled water that should work.
