How to Repair a Scratched Wii Disc

It is not uncommon during the lifetime of a Nintendo Wii game for the game disk to get scratched or nicked. This occurs due to various reasons including placing the game on the floor or table face down, letting two games rub against each other outside of the case, or children playing with the games and neglecting to take care of them. Attempt to repair the scratch on the game before you go to get a new copy because this can help save you money in the long run.

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the game before you attempt to repair it. Sometimes the Nintendo Wii games get dirty and smudged from fingers getting all over it, and all you need to do to get the game to work again is clean it. Use a microfiber cloth that has a little bit of water on it, or some window cleaner and rub the disk gently with the cloth to remove any dirt and contamination.
