How To Clean A CD??

Featured Replies

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?

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.

best bet would be to buy a cd unscratcher or whatever its called, u can buy it at a electronic boutquie(sp?).

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.

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

I've heard that pouring coke on cd's works, but I've never tried it. sounds [developmentally delayed]ed to me.

Definately NOT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coke is partly acidic so eats away at the reflective coating=unplayable disc!

what in hell would warm water do? unless if it was dirty, absolutely nothing!
