Sometimes they fail for other reasons as well, such as improper storage.
Back in the 90's to 00's a friend had a collection of cd's that he'd written, but he stored them in a big sleeved folder container. The container itself caused them to warp slightly, which made them unusable.
I took a few for testing and managed to unbend them after some time, which turned them back into a working state.
[Note: That's the most apostrophes I've ever used in a sentence, it feels dirty]
- aimor 2y agoA little dirty according to CMOS. Ought to be '90s not 90's, cds not cd's. https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/book/ed18/part2/ch09/psec035.html https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/book/ed18/part2/ch09/ps... https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Punctuation/faq0051.html https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/P...
- animal531 2y agoThanks for the tip!
- Hydrocarb0n 2y agoCan you share your unbending method, I have a collection in the same state, did you use weight or heat or a combination of?
- animal531 2y agoYeah I didn't want to use heat in case that did more damage, so I just used some weights I had lying around. If I remember right I just stacked a few starting on the floor with a protective layer in-between so as to not scratch them (a piece of paper is fine). Then add a 5kg or whatever weight on top. After a few days I turned them over and did the same again. After that most were flat, only one or two needed some more individual time. I imagine that if after that if they're still not flat them maybe heating them slightly in the oven or even just the sun outside might do the trick.
