Symptoms Not to send in your Xbox for repair / adjustment:
1. Only one of my CD games will not play properly. Some Video game problems are caused by damaged or scratched CD game Disks. We can resurface some scratched CD game Disks so they will work again in video game. One way you can tell if you CD Game software disk(s) are damaged beyond repair, is to hold them up to the light. If you can see any pin holes or light thru bad scratches on the game label side (Top) then your CD game disk is bad.
