Tips and Advice from the Experts at Level Up: Ringed Disks



Tips and Advice from the experts at Level Up:


This month's tip is regarding Ringed Disks (see above). This is a very common problem with the Wii and Xbox 360 systems especially. It is caused by the system being bumped, moved or knocked over. When this happens the disk wobbles in the DVD/ROM drive and makes contact with the laser lens housing resulting in the ring scratch, a almost perfect circle. When this happens your game is usually ruined and will no longer play. Fortunately, Level Up Video Games on-site repair department has the equipment to help. We are usually able to repair a ringed disk and have a 95% success rate. Our fee for attempting to resurface a ringed disk would be $5.00, a lot cheaper normally than buying a replacement. However this can often be avoided entirely by following these two tips. 
1) Avoid setting up your game systems vertically. It is more likely that your system will wobble or topple if you leave it standing up. We always recommend that you lay your system flat.
2) If you have pets or small children we recommend that you properly tuck away video and controller cables that can get pulled or tripped on.  Always try and keep your systems out of reach of children and animals.
These tips will help you to avoid the Ringed Disk syndrome and keep your games playing for a long time. Of course always put your games back in their case or storage sleeve when not using them to avoid other scratches. Don't forget that when you trade your games condition counts.
