Luk3us 63 Posted March 8, 2004 Why don't you just try looking after your CDs... It really isn't hard. I've got lots of CDs and I've never broken any. Maybe a little dirty but they all go just as well as they did when I first burned... err... brought them.... Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted March 8, 2004 They only brake when you abuse them. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted March 8, 2004 Brake or Break? :crazy: "Brake" is what cars do and "Break" is what you take when you stop to have your lunch at work I fixed the spelling in the subject. I've never had any of my CDs, C&C ones or any other games break. You have to look after them. Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted March 8, 2004 I've broken two CD's... one I dropped on the floor on purpose and it had a big crack in it. And another one I destroyed using a hammer. It takes a lot of effort to break a CD! Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 8, 2004 My TS CD exploded in my disc drive once from overuse, EA said its a common problem. Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted March 8, 2004 I tried to destroy an AOL cd and it took a lot of bending! Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 8, 2004 I just use the AOL cds as coasters, or frizbees. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted March 9, 2004 Fun thing is to throw em' in a microwave and kill the bastards... Just not too long..... Or else the black smoke appears.... Oh yeah and best to do it at someone else's house.... In the unlikey event that the microwave explodes.... :roll: Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted March 9, 2004 Yea, I was about to say I woudn't try that 'cos we just get a new kitchen and I think my mum would have a fit if I broke the microwave Share this post Link to post
Rogue Leader 0 Posted March 17, 2004 LG 52x CD-ROMs are the worst offenders at destroying CDs. I don't know why, exactly, but it is really bad when they do blow because it can ruin your drive, too. Share this post Link to post
Phreakly 0 Posted March 17, 2004 has something to do with 52x cd drives exceeding 50000 rpm, which will shatter just about anything that isn't spinning perfectly. Share this post Link to post
Thierry 0 Posted March 17, 2004 Maybe the CD hated you and it couldn't handle 48 X, or maybe some other glitch. :? Share this post Link to post
Thierry 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Maybe, the CD/DVD player might have had a big jolt and then... Just be lucky that if that happens that nothing is in front of the player/rewriter... ouch Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 18, 2004 it didn't blow up in that respect the disk just shattered in the drive... :? Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted March 18, 2004 Did the disc have an imperfections like scratches or even cracks? Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Nope, it was perfect... i look after the games like! Share this post Link to post
Thierry 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Maybe it was age, or some kinda of power glitch, it could be anything. Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 18, 2004 it was about 6 months old, there was something wrong with the batch maybe.... :? Share this post Link to post
Rogue Leader 0 Posted March 19, 2004 I should really keep an eye my 48x reader then Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted March 19, 2004 Was there any noise before it "shattered"? Share this post Link to post
Gazdude 0 Posted March 19, 2004 It was like a groening noise :? Then i heard it shatter and tried to open my drive but the draw was jammed.... :? Thats the last time i buy a Cyber Drive CD RW Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted March 19, 2004 Well there is your answer, the CyberDrive brand is complete rubbish :!: Share this post Link to post
