Re: how to fix ps2 game cd's

Apply white toothpaste.(NOT THE GEL) rub in a circular motion all the way around from middle to the outside of the cd. let stand 5 minutes and wash off with warm water. then dry off with the softest cloth you can find. I recommend a eye glass cloth. I used this every time and it worked better than new. If it doesn't play then try the banana. if that doesn't work, then your disc is no good.

Re: how to fix ps2 game cd's

Use a freshly cut banana and rub it in a circular motion on the entire disk. Then do the same with the banana peel. (Both have to be fresh).

Then use a cotton cloth to get all the banana off you can, still using a circular motion. Finally use a glass cleaner and cloth to remove all the remaining banana

My Spyro the Dragon game will not play. It gets to the Playstation logo and freezes. I just had it resurfaced so it's not scratched. It is a Playstation 2 and plays all other games.

The best thing I could offer as advice is to cover the bottom of the disc with toothpaste, the toothpaste acts as a resurfacing agent and helps get rid of scratches, obviously clean the toothpaste off throughly before inserting the disc into the Playstation 2 disc tray.

How to repair scratched PS2 Games?

Although the PS3 is becoming popular, many of us decided to stay with the PS2. There are more games, cheaper products, and more buying opportunities. Hey, you can even download PS2 games on the Internet. Of course, these games will get a lot of use (because they are awesome!) And finally, you want to know how to fix scratched PS2 games. This article will help you. Is it merely scratched or dirty? Sometimes the problem is not our game from scratch. Seriously, read a lot of PS2 games down scratches, but it is really a problem, is covered with gook. Try cleaning the disc before trying to set up out of nowhere (or maybe to work evil that is needed). It is scratched! How can you solve this problem? It's actually really easy to fix scratched PS2 games. This is what you need. Baking Soda Toothpaste lint-free cloth (eyeglasses cloth is perfect) Before you begin, you should know that this is not a good idea to erase your hard disk in circles. Unlike the old records (which had to follow the path), PS2 should rub right center to outer edge. Cleaning does more harm circles and want to avoid that. 5 easy steps to fix scratched PS2 games Put a little 'slide of warm water. apply a little toothpaste on your rag RUB (as shown) at the height of the area and around it. If you have lots of scratches, so do the whole disk. 10-15 slides from the inside to the outside should do the trick. rinse the toothpaste let the disc dry air See? It is not difficult to fix scratches on ps2 at all. There is a problem with this method, however, you can do it too often. Know that you are cutting down on the plastic surface to crack some PS2 feel low. If you do it too often, so you do not have a plastic bumper on the left and the data layer of aluminum foil to be destroyed. Serious problems (or repeated injury), the best thing is to go back to the plate.

Fixing Scratched CD's, Games, etc.

To fix a scratched CD:
1) take a tube of toothpaste and place a dab on the CD.
2) Rub the toothpaste around the scratched area and let sit for a few minuets.
3) Take a slightly damp cloth and wipe the toothpaste off.
Note: do not rub in a circle, wipe off the paste starting from the middle, going out.
4) Finally, gently dry the CD with a towel, and play away!

I own a ps2 slimline, but it seems to scratch my discs, it is on and off, nbut it can wreack some of my disks, i haven't opened it up,but i.ve cleaned inside the disk tray. What do i do?

Buy a dvd or cd cleaner disk and run it in your playstation console. You can purchase them at places like Walmart and they cost about five dollars (American). If your console is scratching disks, then it probably needs to be cleaned. Try wiping your disks with a lint free cloth and make sure that they are clean and not scratched before playing them. Clean your unit with a disk cleaner (run it through a couple of times and use the liquid that comes with it) and that should solve your problem.

Vice City plays fine, but when i take that out and put in fifa '08, it goes to that configuration screen, with a picture of each memory card, and the disc. If I click the disc, nothing happens

That means the cd is not reading. Carefully clean the disc and put it back in. Start the game and if it comes on again, press the reset button and see if it will plat this time. Might have to do it 2 or 3 times, but if it is going to play, it will come on.

This is the type of thing you should use, they really do work and you can get them world wide form all ebay sites and shops.
You can also try a home method, this is to use a cloth and toothpaste, toothpaste will act like fine sandpaper and small circle rubbing over the area will buff the scratch out.

MY GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 WONT PLAY IT KEEPS STOPING THE GAME AND TELLING ME 2 CLEAN THE GAME WITH ACLOTH THEN PLAY IT THERE IS KIND OF BIG SCRATCH ON IT BUT ITS NOT THAT BIG SHOULD I JUST BUY ANEW ONE

Hi,
you could buy a new game, but it,s worth trying this disk repair solution first. i,ve been repairing game-music cds/dvds for a couple of years, with 80% sucessful results.
1:) Find an empty jewel Case ( plastic cd holder case ) put the game-disk into the case upside down. ** Underside Facing Up**
2:) Take a soft-cloth ** Yellow Duster Type** and apply a small amount Of T-Cut Or Toothpaste. to the cloth.
3:) holding the disk with one hand, to stop it moving. use your other hand to work the cutting paste into the disk, around the scratched area. using light to medium pressure.
4:) once you,ve polished the area around the scratch, using a clean piece of soft cloth, buff to a polish.
5:) once the scratch has been removed, polish with a light solution of furniture polish, to fill in any surface inperfections.

If your in the UK, i can repair the disk for you.

TOOTH PASTE DOES NOT WORK

Hi DAVED North,

I Just got a XBOX 360 Call of Duty 3 disc back in shape using Toothpaste. Now the disc had a buildup around the outer edge from where it jumped off the spindle at high speed, This left a scratch all the way around the outer perimeter. I scrubbed and scrubbed for like 10 minutes on this scratch with Crest Toothpaste. The scratch is gone, but it left a foggy look where I did the toothpaste. Call of duty 3 is not working perfectly where is would not read at all before the toothpaste. This is why I say use toothpaste. It may not work on all, but it does work on some.
