Disc scratch issues!! What should I do if the disc has scratches and can t be read?

Who says if you have a scratch, you have to lose it? The scratches didn't hurt the data surface, and there was room for salvation.

One way is to wash with water, dry with a clean soft cloth, and wipe the scratches with styrofoam dipped in toothpaste, so that the scratches disappear or become lighter. I tried, it worked.

There is also a saying that it is OK to change the scratches with a watercolor pen, and the disc drive or disc player can read the disc smoothly. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's possible.

In any case, even if this disc is saved, it will not last long. Read out the data and re-engrave it.

While it's not bad yet, use nero to copy the disc.

Or you can also use UltraISO to make your disc into an ISO image file, save it first, and burn the disc directly later.

Alternatively, you can read the disk directly with a virtual optical drive.

Now the disc can be read, and the best way is to use burning software to copy a new disc again. Soon a matter of a few minutes. Give it a try. Seeing that you use power2go to burn, it is quite easy to use.

Wipe with a medicinal cotton ball, gently, if the scratch is really obvious, the optical drive is not readable, try wax to apply the broken part.

The usual method is to apply toothpaste and water to the data surface of the disc, and then use your fingers to repeatedly apply the toothpaste evenly on the data surface of the disc in a clockwise direction, and the scratches on the disc are smoothed out by this method, and the effect is not bad.

This problem is very difficult to deal with, there are 2 ways, one is to go to a professional disc repair shop, let the family re-polish the disc, but it is necessary to pay.

2. Before each use, use a professional cleaner (the kind with foam!). Cleaning the scratched side will bring the disc back to life. (I use it a lot).

Who said to wash with water !!

Don't wash it, just throw it away!

Or you can carve another one!

This method is 100% effective: put the disc in the refrigerator and freeze it overnight, and take it out in the morning.

Buy a new one! That's physical damage, no way!

Heads or tails Heads There's no way to copy things out and re-engrave them If it's the back side, you should be able to read it, there's a problem with the optical drive.

If you can still read it, make a copy.

Putting it in the refrigerator for a quick freeze is also a good idea.

Point the toothpaste on the reading surface, then wipe it clean with a cloth that wipes the disc. 。It would be a little better.

The repair machine is just to smooth out the scratches.

There are scratches on the disc, depending on the degree and location, the degree of impact is also different, usually there are two types:

1。If the scratch is on the side of the protective layer (transparent layer), the degree of impact is relatively small, and some optical drives with strong error correction ability can be successfully read. Even if it cannot be read, the disc surface can be polished and repaired to reduce scratches and allow the optical drive to be successfully read.

2。If the scratch is on the data layer (there is an image side), then the impact is relatively large, and the data may have been damaged and lost, such as the optical drive cannot be corrected and read, then there is no possibility of repair.

Therefore, when storing discs, you should focus on protecting the data layer, try not to write on the back, if you must write, do not use a hard pen or corrosive pen, please try to use a special disc pen to write.

Finally, individuals can use a simple method to polish and repair the disc, first use toothpaste and toothbrush to coarsely grind the transparent layer of the disc, wash it with water, and then use a soft cloth with water to patiently grind. The process takes a long time and requires patience and care, so it is recommended to practice with a waste tray first. This method can eliminate minor scratches and reduce the effect of deeper scratches, making it suitable for personal use.

Both are deformed and scratched are the two main reasons why discs are difficult to read. CD ROM has high requirements for the regularity of the geometric shape of the platter, once the disc is deformed, a large torque will be generated when rotating at high speed in the CD ROM, which will cause the disc to move up and down, resulting in the focusing servo system can not align the focal length and can not read the disc, the laser head may also scratch a circle of deep scratches on the platter, and even damage the laser head, at this time, the CD ROM will make a loud "squeak" sound, you must immediately press the ejection button on the CD ROM to force the stop reading of the disk, take out the deformed platter, This disc is generally no longer usable. Disc scratches are more common, and as long as they are not too severe, the data can usually be read.

For badly scratched platters, the reading will not be so smooth or even the data will not be read. Is there any way to bring it back to life? Try the methods described below.

If the disc is only deformed, the disc can be sandwiched between two pieces of glass of similar size and clamped with a small vice, but not too tight, as long as it can be clamped. Then put them in the water, keep adding hot water to raise the temperature to 80 90, and slowly tighten the vise, but be careful not to break the glass, you can put some cloth on the vice arm in advance, etc., so keep it for two or three minutes and then take it out, let it cool down fully. After such heat treatment, the deformed disc is generally straightened.

If the disc is still scratched, you can try the following methods, which may be able to restore it to its original state. First pour the platter with water, then place it on a soft cloth, scratch the data side up, drop a drop or two of dishwashing liquid, then find a piece of white styrofoam for packaging, dip a little toothpaste on one end, and start grinding the scratched area. When grinding, you should follow the radial direction, that is, from the inside to the outside, and then from the outside to the inside, and you must not do circular motion; It can only be polished on the side, not on the printed side; Use more force to scratch the heavily injured places, and gently grind the general places, otherwise it will grind more and more; If you feel astringent when grinding, you can add a little water, rinse the toothpaste and washing liquid with water after grinding, and see if the scratches are gone.

After rinsing the disc, wipe it dry with a soft dry cloth (like your knitted vest is fine) and let it dry thoroughly, and try the disc again, it may look like new. The author has used the above method to "revive" several CDs, including some low-quality CDs, all of which have been successful.

It's a little bit of an impact, but it's impossible to say that the disc doesn't have a little scratch, so it's normal to say that there are a little scratches, don't worry that the original optical drive has a certain lifespan, but there is a length of time. Generally 2-3 years, if you use VCD may be 1-3 months, the brand is also very important.

Disc quality: using pirated discs and rough discs will make the optical drive sacrifice at any time, don't let the optical drive work for too long, like the motherboard, heating is also a big problem, it is best to use the computer to open and close the optical drive door, the disc should be put well, and it can be used for 5-8 years.

There will definitely be an impact, but if your character is good, it will not affect the data, and in general, radial scratches are a little less harmful than horizontal scratches.

Yes. But if it's not deep, you can still read it. If you can even see through the back, you can't do it.

It will affect too many scratches and the disc will be wasted.

It doesn't affect, the optical drive reads the data inside.

Too many scratches are not needed.

This will affect the optical drive.

It is recommended to copy the contents of the system disk to the computer, if there is an error in the middle of the copy. Or if there is an error later, that is, the disc damage must be repaired with a tool, of course, it is not 100% successful, it is recommended to buy a new disk, because if it is pirated. Generally, there will be no memory backup, which is difficult to repair.

Common disc scratch repair methods: (1) Use toothpaste, when using this method, it should be noted that not all toothpaste can be scratched, most toothpaste has great wear characteristics, but the disc is more and more wearable. Therefore, it is recommended to use a toothpaste that has less wear and tear on the teeth to wipe the disc.

The specific method is to place the disc on a dry towel with the disc smooth side up, the purpose is:

Use toothpaste, after applying, apply the disc from different directions with your hands, then rinse it clean, dry it and try it.

The disc has scratches and there is no data loss. Because the recording layer is on the back.

As long as you find a way to smooth out the scratched side, you'll be fine.

The way I know this is to apply some toothpaste on the reading surface and wipe it clean with a cloth that wipes the disc. 。It would be a little better.

The repair machine is just to smooth out the scratches.

This is currently on the market to buy a disc repair tool pen **OK%d%a, you can go to the computer city to turn down and ask what should be sold.

Point the toothpaste on the reading surface, then wipe it clean with a cloth that wipes the disc. 。It would be a little better.
