How to get rid of marker/crayon on disc?
« on: April 23, 2004, 12:05:33 PM »
Okay, I bought Castlevania:SOTN years ago, and my nephew took my game and his sister put markers on the bottom of the disc, so the whole entire disc is filled with marker.  My sister said she would buy me a new one, but we went several place and they don\'t sell Castlevania:SOTN.  Except some sell them used at amazon and ebay for a crazy price tag that i wouldn\'t buy at all.

So, the game did play but the music kept skipping as if it was recorded in Wav format, and the game crashed on me because it couldn\'t read through the damn marker.  Any idea how to get rid of the marker?  It looks like it could be crayon, but it marker...

take your nephew to judge judy..:p..i seriously don\'t think you can salvage that disc..a shame i have never played it, but heard it\'s a great game..best advice i can give is to get a lightly damp cloth & carefully try to buff out the marker on the disc..that\'s all i can think of..

Odd, the most I saw the game for on ebay was 37.99, and that was if you chose the buy now option.  Not bad for a such a great game.

hmm, i still wouldn\'t want pay that much for it and i don\'t trust Ebay.  About 3 years ago, I bought it on Amazon i think New for $14.99.

I wonder if they sell them on Swap Meet.  We did go to Swap Meet like two months ago, but I didn\'t get a chance to look at the videogames they sell...fricking brother wouldn\'t want me to check...

hold it over a candle  then right before the disc burns or warps the crayon should liquify and you can wipe it off with a paper towel

If consumer chemicals don\'t work take it to a used CD place that resurfaces scratched CDs.  My TTT disc (remember that game) would not load Hwoarang so I bought the $30 game doctor.  I used it according to the directions and it actually made the game WORSE.  Wouldn\'t even load after that.

Took the same disc to a store with a professional resurfacing machine and it played like new.  Was $3.
