Re: Boiling a disc
WOW!!
My CH 2k7 (360) disk has been out of use for about a month due to many large scratches on the surface
Trying to play the game only woirks 1 out of 8 times, and if i actually manage to start up a game, I get a DRE sometime in the 2nd half (7/8 times my 360 asks me to insert a 360 disk)
I boiled my disk for 6 minutes and everything is back to normal, this technique actually works.
BTW, my disk looked a lot better after boiling it, it seems as if the major scratches vainshed, only minor scratches were left on the surfaceOriginally posted by BlzerNo, I don't have anything better to do. Now, I answered your question... is it possible for you to answer mine, or am I really just wasting my time here?Comment

Re: Boiling a disc
I have a quick question. Im not sure how it happened, but my Perfect Dark game and Ping Pong game got f'ed up badly. On the outsides of the disk on the back, it looks as if the disks are chiiped, all around the edges. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if this boiling techniques help it. I loved playing PDZ online and would love to play it again. Thanks for the helpComment

Re: Boiling a disc
Okay, everybody that is skeptical about this... I am 4/4 on boiling discs (Backyard Baseball 2001, The Day After Tomorrow, My Cousin Vinny, Cool Boarders 2).
Here's what you do:
Here's what you do:
Bring fresh water to a boil in a pot. When it boils, turn off the stove, and let your disc slip in, bottom side face-down (I bet you [and other people] didn't know that it's the TOP side that really gets affected from scratches and stuff on the bottom, and not the bottom side). Let it sit in there for maybe 5 - 8 minutes. Don't worry, it's not going to melt. I'm guessing you still can't get the disc out because the water is too hot, so then just go to your sink and turn the cool water on your faucet into the pot... I guess as it's overflowing. When it's cool enough to stick your hand in, take it out. Then using a lint free cloth, wipe the readable side of the disc from the center and work your way outwards (do NOT do circles, for the love of God!). Or, you can just hold onto it and wait for it to dry that way.Comment

Re: Boiling a disc
What's interesting here is in cooking there is a technique called "blanching." If you are cooking green beans, you boil them and then upon taking them out you dump them in ice cold water. It immediatley stops the beans from cooking and keeps the vibrant green color in tact.
Blzer, your techinque is identical to this. Disc blanching.Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.Comment
