We’ve all got many precious discs that have been ruined by careless handling, regular damage while using or by the pet dog’s mauling.
Use these cool pointers to get some of them working again:
1. Clean the surface of the disc by running water (warm is better). You can even use soap or mild detergent to clean the grime. Always rub the disc from the center going out. Do not rub the disc in circular motion.
2. Let it dry in the air. This in itself may get it to work sometimes.
3. If that doesn’t work polish the CD using the inside of a banana peel, toothpaste or brasso. Again remember to gently rub from the center going outwards.
4. Once it gets going - the first thing to do is to quickly copy all data on to your PC - just in case it fails again.
nice thanks
