Cleaner

[Razors Edge]

Yeah I was playing Need For Speed Most Wanted on my xbox 360, and it was verticle. So I got up and my ankle bumped into it and it fell onto its Horizontil position. Anyways, After that for the next 5 or 6 seconds I heard a buzzing noise (loud) coming from the inside, so I flipepd the electric switch down. Anyways my 360 is alright, it plays my other games, but it Doesn't Play NFSMW. Now the only reason I can think of is that it make a big scratch ring around the outside of the disk. Anyways, the scratch isn't that deep, I tried 71% Alchahol already,but does anyone know of any techniques or things that might clean it up?

EBgames said the'd give me 5 bucks for it.....:devious:

I didn't know where this belongs so I just stuck it here....

Get yourself a "disk repair kit" for like 5 bucks at any electronics store.

Yeah i've seen those disk repair ****, but I thought they where just a scam....Bastards bottling up alchoahol with a tissue.....

Do they REALLY work? I don't want to pay $5 for the same thing I have in my medicine cabinet.

[tybrenis]

Yes. It's not alchohol. That just cleans it. Who knows, that might actually be dangerous to the disk. I dunno where you learned to clean disks with alchohol. That won't do anything for a scratch, for dirt and debris, sure, but that won't fill a scratch like the repair kits.

My older bro had disk cleaner fliud, Smelled like vodka...so hey alchahol!!!!

I'll look into the kits, but does anyone have any "Home made" disk cleaner kits or whatever I can try first?

Ok from my 5 minutes exprience....tooth paste and baking soda f*cks it up more....

The idea of the toothpaste and baking soda is to remove the deep scratches by making very SMALL scratches--this should be followed up with a wax or plastic polish.

I use Novus plastic rubbing compound for discs:

Novus #3 for deep scratches followed by:
Novus #2 for fine scratches followed by

Brillianize Plastic Polish (http://www.rplastics.com/brillianize.html)

Use clean cotton cloth for each. Follow directions.

I used toothpaste on my dads truck once when I scratched it. He still hasnt noticed it. I'm not sure if toothpaste just hides things or if it creates some kind of repair but I do know that it makes scratches disappear slightly.

I tried doing it on my halo 2 disk also, but that just made a big mess if you ask me. But then again, I am not sure if scratches was the problem.

You can always try EBAY and buy a new game. It should be pretty cheap on there.

Or you can wait for Need For Speed Carbon to come out for the 360.

metal polish takes out a good percentage of light to medium scratches. use a clean duster and move from the center out. don't let it dry and remove it with a different clean duster (or if you're cheap like me, a different part of the same duster) remember, never do this in circles around the disk, it really nacks up then.

give it some elbow grease too
