What are effective ways to fix a skipping DVD?

[freakydestroyer]

I looked online and found these tutorials that suggest toothpaste and rubbing alcohol. I tried both but neither worked. And some even crazier ones like peanut butter and soda. SO anything that really works?

THanks

If the scratches are deep enough there's not a thing ya can do.

I've never had a blu-ray skip on me

The toothpaste thing kinda worked for me but not quiet so I just bought another

ahh try rubbing lotion all over it and then wipe it off with a very soft cloth that sometimes works

He might sound like a smart---, but he's absolutely right.

i got my skip doctor at best buy for $25.. still kinda expensive .. but it really works and i use it a lot for my dvds/cds.

toothpaste works only if it has an abrasive like baking soda in it.

alternatively...just get some baking soda and warm water..and make a slurry...use a toothbrush to "sand" away the scratches.

Pony up the $10-20 you'd spend toward a $30 machine and just cop a new one.

DVD's don't cost a thing anymore bro.
