Repair scratched CDs and DVDs

CDs and DVDs are surprisingly tolerant of abuse, but there comes a time when your music, games, applications or movie discs simply won’t play at all.This might be due to dirt, general wear and tear over time or perhaps a scratch. Obviously, a bit of dust can be blown off but for more significant marking, or even gouges, you’ll need take more care ­or else risk further, perhaps even irreparable, damage which will render your disc useless.The good news is, though, that with a little care and attention an unplayable disc can often be made readable once more.So, if you’ve got a disc that your player refuses to spin, follow our Workshop for a guide to repairing minor glitches.
