Favorite game cd goes dead b/c its been used so much that the cd rom lense messes the cd rom disk, but you still have your cd key :/ Anyway my quake3 cd rom doesnt work anymore and i have no backup im not saying i want anyone b/c i got a backup of the folder on my spare hdd so i will never loose it. SO what do you do buy a new game or just forgot about it.

Technically, nothing ever makes physical contact with the surface of the CD. The laser reads the pits and valleys burned into the substrate. So, it's impossible for the lens, or anything else inside the CD rom drive to mess up the CD.

Well not sure if you know after awhile on a cd or sony ps2 or ps1 that the cd begins to get like stacthes on it from the laser even compact cd players do this.

 
Go to Game Copy World and learn some grammar and spelling, for fvck's sake.

Not to mention, how is it possible for the CD-ROM to jack up your CD? It doesn't even make contact with the surface of the CD, unlike a record player.

it's not the laser. it's scratches from contact

Acquire a CD image through other means, you paid for it and therefore have a valid license.

I've had CDs scratch all to hell, and unreadable.
