Spotting An Unrepairable Disc:
 

Most scratch-damaged discs can be repaired; but discs suffering other types of damage or excessive scratching can't be.

Here's how to spot a disc that's beyond repair:

• Excessive scratching: Scratches too deep or numerous may affect the ability to repair it. Typically however, 94% of discs can be repaired.

• Cracks: Typically start from the inside out.

• Dents: Indentations or chips at the edge of the disc, caused by blunt force

• Warping: The disc being bent or otherwise distorted out of shape. Usually due to heat damage.

• Foil Damage: Damage on the label side of the disc. If you can see light all the way through, the disc is likely unrepairable.

• Layer separation: Excessive heat or bending can see layers separate. Check to see if the colour of the disc has altered from the usual silver/gold/blue.
