Help me save my CD's!!!!!

There are quite a few CD repair options available from manually hand cranked to automatic elactrically powered and for 70+ CDs I think I'd go for the powered type.

I've seen them at BestBuy, Circuit City, Office Depot, and places like that and I'm sure they're available through Newegg.

This is not cheap but you do have 70 CDs to repair.

It doesn't matter, just throw them away and burn new copies. You had backup copies in the car, right? I mean what kind of a clown leaves 70+ original CD's in the car? Nobody is that stupid, not unless you have them well hidden under the laptop on the front passenger seat.

Which is just below the SatNav.

Ah, the beloved toothpaste trick.

Out of curiosity, it's the reflective side that is scratched and not the label, correct? Otherwise you're screwed.

thats the idea.. the abrasive takes out the scratches giving the lense and easer time... Back when people used to wear watches (I dont even own one nowdays) it was a common trick for saving a scratched face..

I bet you feel stupid now for not being stupid enough to have damaged CD's and already know that trick.

That happend to my dad once, they broke into our Jeep, and took the cds but left the laptop bag they were on top of....

I think we have an old tub or toothpaste, paste not gel, but i may have to use a power toothbrush, not a manual one to be found... Ill give that a try it looks like the surface is just mildly rubbed, not scratched, but enough to cause huge playing problems.

Oops..... 8O

No, i saw that really.

Stems from my roots in programming. (The name itself started in chatrooms in the mid-late 90's.) VBDude=that Visual Basic guy. I've picked up several languages since then, but I began with VB.

Sorry it's not that glamorous. It's just my all-purpose tech handle.

200th post and still using MS Bob!

I'm not. You can PM me anyway if you'd like, but I'd likely have to do some research myself. At least I know my way around that.

I'm moving my sites to a new server so let's wait and see if that helps.
But thanks, I'll keep your offer in mind.
