Can it repair discs that have been damaged by some type of unidentified liquid spill?

I tend to agree with previous answer from Stu. What you could try with a household item, is alcohol. Other than that buy a disc cleaner. If you have many discs, it will not be a waste of money. Good luck with everything. If anythingthing actually worked, post it just to let us know. I have over a hundred CD's and information is good to have.

I thought I had lost 2 CDs that had fallen victim to an exploded can of Diet Coke. The syrup was dry and sticky when I discovered the issue. This disc did an adequate job in "clean" mode, and both disks are functional again with no skipping. That said, diet soda is inherently friendlier when spilled than many other liquids. If this unidentified liquid was hot when spilled, includes any sort of corrosive material, or includes high amounts of animal proteins, there is a good chance that the discs are now irreparably damaged. It's worth trying at this price, but your mileage will vary. Good luck!

I can't add much to that which has already been said; the point has been made that this is CLEANING EQUIPMENT, not magic. I would add, though, that if you find physical damage after cleaning, you might try some 1000-grit abrasive paper...wet-or-dry sandpaper as used in auto finishing...it can cut the tops of the scratches to remove the "curl" of vinyl. Sometimes there's improvement in sound. If it's a beloved disc you're trying to save, might be worth the time and effort.

I have used this with our on-line business and have had great success. I have been able to repair discs that are badly damaged. There are some deep scratches however that I have not been able to remove, so it depends on how deep.

try another dvd first,to make sure it is not the disc. then try a soft blast of canned air if you have it. this "cleaner" is a waste of money.it didn't do anything for my players/burners,NOTHING! good luck.

It depends on how damaged the disc is. You may or may not need to use the sanding pad first. The step that you will always need is the buffing step using the white solution. I disagree with the other response in that it is very messy. You will get a little bit of the white solution on your fingers, but it is easy to wipe off. The blue solution step is optional. I never use it. After the buffing step I just spray the disc with disc cleaner and wipe it off. It has restored a couple CDs and DVDs that would not play to perfect working order for me.

Email their customer support. They are fantastic and will help you get everything you need. You probably don't need what was on that disc anyway.

Wayne,I haven't been able to find this either, but I found this product on ebay and there was a (low-resolution) image of the discs, which might give you the answer you're looking for. Seems like a natural thing to include in the product information!Greg

Good answer, Sandra. Unless the player won't reboot or the screen is dark, popping the disc out and then back in should do the trick.

As long as it's plastic lenses it should remove fine scratches. Also works on cds and dvds.

It may take a few runs through the machine, but it repaired every disk I have tried so far (except the one the dog chewed up - the scratches were gone but some of the teeth marks were left.)

Your determination of badly is ambiguious. I have one with contents for cleaning and repair, 2 seperate procedures. Which ever one that I use in a particular case the end results vary. I have had CD's & DVD's with various types of severity in the damage. I can honestly say that this piece of equipment works fairly well for me most all of the time. But it does not peform miracles. I don't know exactly how bad your damage or scratches are, but for putting out a few bucks, it will probably be worth it in the future. Sorry about the first answer being sent before I finished it, typo error. Hope this answer gives you enough information for you to make a formable decision. Good Luck

It certainly has a high probability of fixing the issue. In many cases rentals are in worse shape than your own and if your DVD ROM has a weak laser it may not read the DVD. On another note if replacing the ROM does not fix the problem its likely that its being caused by a software issue like a lake of a video or audio codec or a corrupted video player. If that's the case you should be able to get it fixed at minimal cost.

Mine is playing having the same problem intermittently. Some play and some don't. My husband, the engineer, suggests cleaning the lens that reads the disc, as over time it may become dirty. He would use rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. We have not yet tried this, but if it works, it's a cheap solution.

I don't think so. It didn't repair the damage caused by juice/soda. it leaves a very greasy film on my granite counters and my marble tables.

will not fix anything. run your recovery disc to restore your computer to original settings. save your files before doing recorvery. this disc is for booting up computer that has crashed and will not boot up.
