Most times, all you just have to do is reboot your game console and everything goes back to normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, when handling your disc, try not to touch the surface of your disc with your fingers because that might add more dirt or scratch the surface and damage the disc more. Fingerprints on the surface can cause your disc to be unreadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first way to clean your game disc is to make use of clean dry cotton material. Preferably a microfiber material like the one used to clean medicated glasses. You do not need to add water or alcohol to the cloth. You just need the soft microfiber cloth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wipe the surface of the disc with the clean cotton material gently. Wipe from the center of the disc to the surface of the disc. Do this repeatedly till you’re sure you’ve wiped every part of the surface properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While cleaning your disc, try to keep your fingers away from the surface of the disc, so you don’t cause more damage to the disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to clean your game disc is to make use of toothpaste, microfiber cotton material, and warm water. It’s best to make use of white toothpaste. Especially ones with baking powder. This method has proven to be effective in cleaning scratches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you need to wipe the surface of the disc with the clean microfiber material then, apply the toothpaste to the surface of your game disc. Rub the toothpaste on the surface from the center to the edges with another soft cloth and make sure it touches all the parts with the scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leave for a few minutes then, wash off the toothpaste completely from the surface of your game disc with warm water. Allow the disc to dry and then, wipe the disc with the microfiber or soft cotton material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
