mole Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Hi I've a ps2 game that wont load past a certain level everytime. Disk is not what I would called scratched but there are some tiny ones there, just. Has anyone tried the cleaning/polishing with gel toothpaste method and had any success? or any other methods? Dont wont to take it to a shop to get it done as that would mean a 45 mile round trip and it just isn't worth it.
X-13 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I heard washing up liquid works... This may or may not be true. What game was it?
LosOjos Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I can highly recommend the Disk Dr. (think they're called Skip Dr. now), it does mean an initial outlay of about £20 (might be cheaper now, that's what I paid for a manual one), but I've had one for about 8 years now and the number of discs it has saved from the bin has been more than worth it.
cromertech Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 You can try toothpaste. The value stuff seems to work best. I've had a few successes with this and for only a few pence it has to be worth a shot doesn't it?
plexer Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Just use some toothpaste and a soft cloth can't hurt it's such a mild abrasive. Ben

bondbill2k2 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Toothpaste does work, you can buy BF2:MC for £2 anyway Free delivery too http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=5030930040314
Theblacksheep Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 loading PS2 games from HD works best, no more disks!
mole Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 tried the toothpaste, alas did not work. I've had to fork out 75p for another (plus £2.03p p&p). last of the big spenders.
