About the toothpaste method.. how to do it properly?

or...use contact lens solution.....it worked for my Xbox games...

Unfortunately that is the case... I was very frustrated at that time didn't even bother to look up for the proper way from the internet.... after I applied the toothpaste and I wiped it, washed it.... many many minor scratches appeared. Now my xbox makes some weird noise wheneven I play Oblivion.

Guess I have to buy another copy.... Anyone willing to let go their copy??

PS: Notice there is a little tiny hole with light shining through when I face face the DVD to the light. That means that whatever data at that tiny little hole would gone, finish, habis, die or whatever (means unreadable). I can officially call my Oblivion DVD dead! Not even 2 months old! I blame that on my Xbox!

there was an update just now...

who know the detail for the update??
i can see the video version change to 1.2.1

hope it update the bugs for shivering isle....

I got that update last week. Yes, it's for fixing Shivering Isles bugs.

oh... last week eh ;p
last week bz playing with ur dead rising... (^-^)

1. Apply the toothpaste on the affected areas (i.e. scratches)
Just a bit will do.

Don't rub the toothpaste on the disc in a circular motion . Just rub it gently from the inner circle to the outer area of the disc; from the hole to the edge of the disc. Anyway if the inner circle area isn't scratched you don't have to start from there.


2. Let it dry under the fan or something, until the paste becomes hard.
Put a bit of water on the disc, and wipe it with a lint-free cloth or something similar. (using the same motion mentioned above)

You don't have to wipe it until the disc is 100% clean, if you try to do that you might remove the toothpaste that has filled the scratched areas.


3. Dry the disc... and pray to god that it will work.

If it doesn't, you can repeat from step 1 again.

It didn't work for me the first time, so for the second time I used hairgel (Loreal Architect Wax) instead.

Btw I also managed to revive a movie DVD using the toothpaste method alone.

I finally got my copy of oblivion!

Careful boy... the game is addictive.

Good luck bro....your eyes will bleed, your nose will be bleed and your brain will stop functioning after a few hours....but you will love each and every minute of it bro...

Damn the filesize of SHivering Isles!!

Instead of damning the file size, you should damn TM NUT! If they can provide us with good and stable line, 4GB also no problem .

AGAIN: Who wants to let go of thier oblivion?? I miss the game A LOT...

i love this game when u and from others town soldier and come to close and shut the Giant Oblivion Gate

Love that every moment of shutting down the gate.
