A while back I was fiddling inside My playstation 2 (warranty not applicable) and the Drive door closed with a game dvd. The thing was the DVD was not resting inside properly and a large Radial (circular scratch) was formed. Now being an IT repair guy i decided to fix this myself... (I live in the Carribean PS2 games are ridiculously expensive!!)
So after checking online i saw people saying use everything from Turtle wax to fine sandpaper. Please help find the best (& most cost effective) solution. PS. If chemical compounds are used can you please provide the full name if possible. Thx in advance |

well, you could try putting it in the freezer over night, or using aftershave (although the aftershave never worked for me)
Can I just ask, how big is the scratch? Some are unfixable.

Once the scratch does not remove the inner layer of the disc...(Where the data resides) it can read.
My Pc Drive can read the entire disc..(using special software) The scratch actually is four smaller scratches following the same Radial line. I've resurrected tons of DVD's with worst. but it's always hit & miss and PS2 disks are specially formatted. |

Well I used the Tried and True Baby oil. a special clear kind sold here in Trinidad.
It fills up the scratches but it is oil based...meaning dust and other particles can stick on it. |

Both scratches and scuffs can be removed by the same method - by polishing them out using Brasso. Engineers have been using Brasso as a polish for plastics ever since it was released as a polish for brass. You only need a few drops for a scratch so a single tin of Brasso should last a lifetime.
Besides of the freezer, I have even heard of peanut butter and toothpaste being used to remove scratches, or at least provide a fix so you can burn the data to another CD. [ 09-15-2004, 05:25 PM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |
