How to fix cracked discs!

[coldfire17]

Ok, i have now tried both methods. and heres the outcome:
The first method i tried was super glue that i use for my miniatures(Big lulz i know)
This method works very well for me on a total of 3 disks.
steps:
1. Obtain proper glue for the job(I use Zap A Gap CA+ GREEN! you can obtain this glue from your local hobbytown usa or hobby lobby
2. Get your cracked disk and pull apart the crack just enough to put a tiny bit of glue on the edge.
3. Immediately get a papertowel and wipe the excess glue from the crack as you put it back together.
4. Let dry... let your disk dry for more time than you think it needs!! this is very important because if you put it in too early it will probably FUCK UP YOUR SHIT
5. Test this bad boy... and alas! all your hard work might have paid off!


The second method is the tape (Ghetto method)

i do not particularly care for this method as it can be messy or fail easily.



Steps: read the tut in this thread and watch the vid


Which do i like better??
- well if i havent made it obvious enough i like the super glue.
it is more trustier(lol) and wont fuck up as easiest(lol again)

I prefer tape over the super glue for a few reasons though.

1. Everyone has tape. Some people may not have super glue readily available.
2. Easier to mess up with glue. Get it on the disk side, and you're screwed.
3. Nice post though!

There is one reason why I don't prefer super glue, on heat the molecules tend to break and the glue is not very effective. It won't be the best choice for those who play for long hours.

Have any of you all been playing an xbox 360 game, and you know how the xbox sits up right? Well it got knocked over while I was playing the a game and it made a giant scratch ring around my disc. Is there anyway at all I can still play it or fix it?

Yes, you can take your game to a local video store. They will most likely have a disc repair service that costs maybe a dollar or two.

hi,would simple sellotape and masing tape do?

You can use candle wax over the scratch disk and rub into the disk very hard with a cloth. 85% off the time it works!
