Well i got Forza3 today and i knocked my xbox over which laser burned my disc just wondered if anyone knew a way of gettin rid of them?

Would Game/Game Station be able to fix with there disc repair thingymajig?

Laser burn? Pretty sure a laser in a xbox won't burn the disk.

Its just what people call it, if u move an xbox while its on it scratches a circle around the disc

Oh ok, no idea then, maybe one of those JML things?

you can't burn the disc with the laser

that jml thing looks like it just cleans it tbh

i'd try one of these or go to your local gamestation as i think they have got a machine that does the same for there trade-in games

Scratch not burn but maybe blockbuster will have something

 

[AD4M]

try gamestation they do a repair thing for £1.50 or something.

or rub toothpaste into it and then remove with a towel/kitchen roll

Or try your nearest Blockbuster, as I think they can repair it also?.

Spray with Anti Perspirant, leave to soak for 30 seconds and wipe clean in circular motion!

i always thought that you should never wipe a cd/dvd in a circular motion?

Grainger games do a disk repair for £1 a disk!

Work a treat with my tom clancy's vegas 2

Wiping with a soft cloth, or the bed covers mine usually get, all absolutely fine!

Xbox do a repair service for this IIRC. Costs around £10 I think though but thats the only way it'll be fixed. All the machines do at Gamestation and so on is just buff over the lighter scratches.

 

[Plummer]

Thats the game fucked, you need to buy a new one.

Happened to me with another game. :dapprove:

lend a mates forza 3 and put it onto your hard drive, then your copy even though its not in working condition it will still boot up off that disk and play from the had drive
