How to Clean Scratches in Discs

[a deeper b1ue]

I'm sure that even the best of us have accidenlty hit out xboxes with the game in it, thus badly scratching the disc inside. You probably recieved the following error

:

When you look at your disc you will probably see some small scratches along with a circular scratch. The circular scratch may fade in and out or it may be constant.I have a faded scratch on my mw2 disc, although it is hard to see in this picture.

The circular scratch is the main problem that is causing your disc not to read. To fix it you are going to need some car wax. I sudgest and will be using Meguiars Tech Wax because it worked the best in past problems.

Tp clean your disc, rub some of the wax on the sponge that came with the wax, or a soft cloth. Rub the wax gently, but firmly enough into the disc so that it will fill the scratches. Rub for about 5 minutes, or untill you think the disc is clean.

After waxing the disc, take another soft cloth and remove all the wax from the disc. The scratches may still be visable, but they are now filled with wax, which lets the laser in yur xbox read the disc.

After cleaning all the wax off, put the game in your xbox and see if it worked!

This works. I'm 100% sure of it.
If it doesn't work the first try again making sure to apply enough wax.

I finally tried this on my MW2 disc the other day. I took a sponge and some car wax and scrubbed the crap out of the disc. Works like a charm now. Thanks Blue ^_^

This usually happens if the xbox is tilted when a game is running, quite a big issue where xbox dont take responsability for it. Should be able to take it to a gaming store where they can remove scratches as far as i am aware.

Good sh!t b1ue, back in the kid days when I fuaqed up discs I always used peanut butter or toothpaste.

i cheated and bought something called skip dr, works amazing, got my unreadable guitar hero a nice scratchless surface in seconds. however nice tut

Oh and if there only small scratches lense cleaner and a microfibre cloth work a charm

[VexxVoid]

Yeah, legit equipment works best but some people are cheap, & I know alot of gamers don't have jobs due to their age.

[Gonzo]

Yeah, i mean my bro just got an xbox and hes 10 and my other one got a ps3 and hes 8!

Great thing about the skip dr though is that its cheap (£20ish) and effective

Or you could go down to your local GameCrazy/Gamestop and get it Shaved/Waxed.
Its costs very little money, usually under $5.
Nice Tut Btw.
