Scratched disc!

Roy Mustang · 02-24-2005, 11:52 PM

Hey I just got my game from the mail (I ordered from eBay) but it is so scratched it makes noises and it says cannot read disc is there a way to clean other than those disc cleaners? I lost mine >.<

-shrugs- maybe take it to your local movie rental place and ask if they do DVD/CD cleanings. other than that, i have no idea.

kakashi2010 · 02-25-2005, 12:13 AM

-shrugs- i think. i'm not sure. asking couldn't hurt.

Toothpaste works I think...

Baby lotion...you know you have some extra lying around...

Or go out and but some...datata...cleaner!

Roy Mustang · 02-25-2005, 12:27 AM

baby lotion and tooth pase wtf..that would seriously mess it up

One of the discs for my FFVIII game was like that, all scratched and wouldn't load and respond. SO i just whipped it off like, a couple of times with regular water and cloth and then kept putting it in and out of my ps2 until it worked =/

naruto_kun_gr · 02-25-2005, 08:43 AM

it depends on how deep are the scrathces.. cause if they are deep enough then it would be difficult to recover lost data..

next time have a second though about online bying from the shop u bought it!! :P

Cya! 8)

Normal water?? doesn't that break it

Meric · 02-25-2005, 10:31 AM

Well, I dunno, I always use normal water on cd's, computer discs, ps discs and ps2 discs and all my games work fine, except after i lend them to friends =/ But, I wouldn't stake my life on it.

Put some after shave on a tissue and then just wipe the CD slowly and gently (My cousins san andreas got scratched and stoped working he did this and it worked again)

that's what you get for ebay. try a game doctor, it's this thing for fixing scratched discs.

aliensmarts · 03-06-2005, 11:34 AM

the sell cd/dvd cleaners at the stores

Typhoon · 03-07-2005, 10:15 AM

Clean the disc first with a cloth or a CD cleanser. Then try copying the files to your computer and see if your computer could read them after. This method doesn't work all the time, but it's worth a try.
