Hi

Calamity struck on Saturday when my young son managed to scratch his GC game disc of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to the point of the GC not reading it anymore

Have called Konami who want £17 for replacing it but have suggested that I could get it polished out - anyone know a good mail order service for this or any other suggestions?

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to fork out the £17

cheers

FIX MY DISK

Some good record shops also have a machine that will dot his for CD's now, so it may be worth ringing round.


My son bought a second hand music CD from one here in Scunny, and it was in A1 condition after they put it on the polisher.

If its the plastic underside of the disc and the scratch isn't too deep, try rubbing some Brasso on it. Brasso is superb at removing small scratches from clear plastics.

I have used toothpaste to remove scratches from DVD's, works a treat.

what would scooby do

my local hi-fi shop prevented me from buying theri very expensive cd cleaning kit by using the magic words - "Pledge or Mr Sheen plus duster" - always works for me

There second piece of advice on wanting sound damping material for speakers was "blue tack" LOL

BuRR

be VERY careful with Brasso, as I found out to my cost with my Leon Import DVD

The back surface ended up looking like a swirly-thing from Swirlshire and that was with next-to-no pressure.

You have to give it plenty of welly I made my XBox jewel clear using Brasso, takes off the paint and removes any scratches a treat But you are right, some DVD's are made of thin stuff, so go easy.

I had this problem with my satnav disk for my car. If you have Nero or similar, play the disk as slow as possible onto your hard drive, then burn it out to another disk. It worked for me on a badly scratched disk that had been rattling round the door bins for about a month.

Good luck,
Andy
