Will a scratch cause
a CD or DVD to not work?
Question:Will a scratch cause a CD or DVD to not
work?
Answer:This all depends upon the intensity of
the scratch. Because standard CDs and DVDs have a protective layer,
these discs can usually withstand several scratches with no issues.
However, if a scratch is very intensive this could cause the CD not to
work properly or for it to be un-operational. It
is possible to encounter any of the below issues if a CD is
scratched:
- The CD that is scratched will not
work.
- Error will occur indicating that
the CD cannot be read. For example: CDR-101.
- DVD Discs will have distortion in
certain sections of the movie.
