    Can u guys stop asking if anyones here for the same game you are and just tell me if it works or not????

    • @XboxDIY

      Amen. This works, regardless of the game, depending on the condition of your disc. If you have a giant "F You" scratch down the middle of your Black Ops 2 (just basing this on evidence collected here), nothing will bring your game back. If you put it on top of a table and the disc picked up a few surface scratches from the left over Pop-Tart crumbs, there's a good chance a good ol' tube of Crest will bring your game back to life.

    IT WORKS!!!(don't do deodorant part)like so people can see. For the people asking how long do they wait for the toothpaste to dry, give it like 5 minutes. It also depends on how messed up your disc is.

    It worked on my old copy of Battlefront 2. I repaired it 4 years ago, using this method. Thanks a lot, mate, the only problem was that sometimes cutscenes skip around, but that’s just due to the scratches removing game data that were originally there when it shipped. Everything else worked flawlessly and I thank you for making this guide.

    Quick five step fix with tooth paste:
    1. Put toothpaste on disc
    2. Let it sit for 10 minutes
    3. Rinse with water
    4. Wipe off with microfiber or soft towel
    5. Enjoy your game!

    1) rinse the disk with water.
    2)apply toothpaste in an inside out motion until it’s completely covered and let it dry for 5-10 minutes.
    3) rinse the disk off in an inside out motion (should take about 1 minute) then pat dry with a terry cloth.
    It actually worked! I skipped the deodorant part.

      I’ve done this method in the past. If the disc is really fucked up(like whole disc is riddled with scratches or scratches are very deep) then this method most likely won’t work (still worth a shot tho) and you’re gonna have throw the disc away. It worked before with one of my discs that had quite a bit of scratches but the scratches weren’t too deep. I actually did it with Vaseline. Also you may not even have to do the double coat like he did in the video with the deodorant.

    1. Put disk under water. Use your finger and swipe from the middle to out
    2. Apply toothpaste and use same finger motions
    3. Let it sit until the toothpaste hardens
    4. Rinse the disk, use same finger motion
    5. Wipe with soft cloth
    6. See if the game works
    7. If doesn’t, put non gel deodorant on it, middle to out.
    8. Rinse it
    9. Wipe with a soft cloth
    10. Play the game

    I dried it with my t-shirt and there were still visible scratches. I set the disc in the old ps2. And it turned on, but made weird sounds. But it worked! It didn't crash anymore (GTA3) and I was so glad about it. TRY THIS, SCEPTICAL PEOPLE.

    Just tried this on my ps2 copy of nfs carbon in which was freezing on the cutscene telling you that you just beat the final character. It looks better scratch wise. I’m gonna let it sit for a little longer then test time. If it works you’ve earned a sub. I really hope it works! Edit 1: game is already loading way faster, and is having higher FPS. You’ve got a sub man. I’ll say if it doesn’t freeze.

    Seems like the kind of video that appears into everyone’s recommended box 3 years after its initial release.

    I literally bought my child hood game, scooby doo spooky swamp for my wii on amazon and when it came it was scratched as hell and didn’t work. I’m scared this will damage it permanently but I’ll edit if it works,
    Update: didn’t work I think it was just my toothpaste but I had to get a new disc

    This actually works.
    I had tried just about anything to fix my disc, but it didn’t work. Then I tried this one and it worked. It didn’t work the first time because I used toothpaste that was kind of transparent. But when I used normal toothpaste it worked.
    USE THIS HACK.

    Returning disc to Gamestop.
    Employee: Sends the disc to random person.
    Random person: It smells like toothpaste

    I’ve babied my NCAA14 for years not a single scratch . Until my dog got excited jumped caught my Xbox cables an ripped my Xbox off the shelf while my ncaa game was being murdered in there . It’s been over a year of not knowing what to do about it until I seen this . I’ll be damned if I don’t have it on right now ! This freaking works !
