I have a round PSOne and I was messing around and pushing that disk close thing down witha paper clip but it sliped and i think it scrached the lense. No it will only play 007 and tony hawk as far as I know, if I put in a different disk like mission impossible it makes a weird noise. What do you think is the problem

What's the noise? kind of a high pitched squealing?

Did you try polishing the lens with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol?

Do you have any of that CD-scratch fixing compound or some car polishing compound? (not car wax. It's called "polishing compound")

If so then you could try polishing the lens with it. I used that stuff on my digital watch and my spare Game Boy Color, and it gets out most of the scratches.

Bicostp, Does this polishing compound fill in scratches also? Also do you remember where you got it?

Well I bought a bottle of Mother's brand Polishing Cpompound at Benny's (Local store chain, they have an effing HUGE selection of holiday lights during the winter...) for about 5 bucks, and after using it a few times on my car's trunk lid it got rid of all the cat scratches and most of the machine buffer swirls (the previous owners took a yarn mop head and a random orbital sander and used that to polish it down...

)

Basically anywhere you look it's called "Polishing Compound". I've got cans from Eagle One, Turtle Wax, Mother's, [some fancy name I can't spell], and some random brand, and they're all called "polishing compound".

Look for a car polish that fixes scratches and works on all colors. That's basicaslly polishing compound. Just make sure you don't leave any haze or dried crumbs of compound on the lens, and you only need a little bit.

I recommend you only do this if you're sure the lens is scratched.

Cool Bicostp, thanks for the insight.
