July 13, 200521 yr I went out and bought Mercenaries, and ill be damned theres a scratch on it so now it allways freezes on the picture of the gas mask. Is there anyway i can get the scratch out? I heard somthing about buffing it out with toothpaste, does this work?
July 13, 200521 yr If the scratch is so bad that some data is unreadable I very much doubt you can "repair" it in any way. Stay away from the toothpaste in any case.
July 13, 200521 yr best bet would be to buy a cd unscratcher or whatever its called, u can buy it at a electronic boutquie(sp?).
July 13, 200521 yr If the scratch is so bad that some data is unreadable I very much doubt you can "repair" it in any way. Stay away from the toothpaste in any case. Actually, most game shops (electronics boutique, GAME etc) do a cleaning service which works wonders and costs pennies. Look into that, my friend had a terrible copy of FFX2 which could hardly be read and it works perfectly now. And yeah, stay away from the toothpaste hahah.
July 13, 200521 yr Stay away from clear fingernail polish as well..it makes things worse.. *shakes head in shame*
July 14, 200521 yr Dont them disk "cleaners" jsut take a layer of the top of the disc to remove the scratches?
July 14, 200521 yr Dont them disk "cleaners" jsut take a layer of the top of the disc to remove the scratches? Yep. :wink: Also like someone else said, most computer/cd shops have cd cleaners that they charge like 3 bucks to clean a disk. It almost ALWAYS comes out very good after that and costs much less than buying your own cd cleaning kit. :D
July 14, 200521 yr I've heard that pouring coke on cd's works, but I've never tried it. sounds [developmentally delayed]ed to me. [Admin Edit: Religious text Not permitted]~108 combat~5.9k dusties killed / dragon chain :D
July 14, 200521 yr yea, i got one it looks like a walkman with a handle on it. cost 20$(aust) and works like magic. then i found out that my PS2 was eating the discs and i smashed it in anger at the 300$ games it killed First and only pixel thinger I made.
July 15, 200521 yr I've heard that pouring coke on cd's works, but I've never tried it. sounds mentally challenged to me. Definately NOT! Coke is partly acidic so eats away at the reflective coating=unplayable disc!
