How to Fix a Game Disc That Has a Crack in the Inner Ring

"Snap!" "There goes $60 down the drain," you say while staring at your once intact favorite video game. You may think all is lost, and you'd be right to think so, but there is still hope if you're the last-resort kind of guy. After all, who has the kind of cash to run to the store and plunk down another hard-earned $60 for a game? "Not me," you confidently say. If this situation is all too familiar to you, then break out the Scotch tape -- we've got some games to fix.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

- 1
  Cut off a piece of tape the size of the crack on your disc.
- 2
  Tape over the crack on the labeled side of the disc. Press firmly with your thumbs to seal the tape as tight as possible.
- 3
  Cut off a small piece of tape less than an inch long. Tape the broken disc in the inner ring so that half of the tape is on the labeled side and the other half on the readable side. Make sure the tape doesn't exceed the length of the ring on the readable side.

  Press the tape firmly so that it seals tightly to the disc.
