In this article I will be with four little known tips to fix scratched CD or DVD and recover the information, each user has had problems with a scratched CD or DVD.

In the case of data CDs the CD / DVD drive can not read the CD / DVD properly resulting in reading errors while in the case record audio / video, CD player skips when we play.

If somehow we managed to re-smooth this protective layer then the laser get to the data and read it, now there are many ways to get this item through common household as explained below:
