How does this work without metal electroplating disk? Or,... what causes the metal to adhear to the item you want to restore?

Sorry, I do not know the formulation of the product and can only say that there is chemical bonding without knowing quite how this occurs. I HAVE tried it and find that it works well and the result remains good after three months, but I am fully aware that the coating must be barely a micron or two thick so it cannot last indefinitely as it will eventually tarnish.

It says in the instructions that the first layer provides the stickiness that the second layer adheres to. Anyway, a month later even the stuff that looked nice and silvery reverts as if nothing was polished. Not recommended.

Press repair button. I don't think you are supposed to use solution with red disks. I use them dry then use solution on white disks. also you may need to run these more times than directions say for very damaged disks. Hope this helps.

Hi, The metal keyring is fastened to the body of the drive. Removing it would damage the outside of the drive and it would not be able to be reconnected. For any further questions or concerns, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for choosing Kingston. -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

Mine had no damage. Sorry, I would suggest you go to Ace or a local hardware store and asked for something to repair it. I know Ace Hardware has a can of stuff that restores finish. Hope it helps.

At this moment I am pulling data off an external USB drive that appeared to be totally dead. Clack, click, whiirrrrrrrr and never came online. I froze it. Not kidding: http://www.emergingtechs.com/posts/put-your-hard-drive-in-the-freezer-to-recover-data/ Mine works for about 1/2hr until the drive warms up again, then back into the freezer. Given this scenario it makes sense to know what is critical, get it first, and get the non-essential stuff later. All my important stuff is already recovered and now I'm copying over 40GB of "nice to have" stuff. As soon as this process is over I'm going to improve my backup scenario!

I do nothing to the disk until it does start skipping, or the player will not recognize the disc. When it comes to cleaning, I always start with the shortest spin time, and the least abrasive solution. Then look at the surface after a final cleaning. If still scratched, make another pass. So far, nothing has been too far gone to save.

Since you can't use cleaners I make sure I clean every other day with paper towels and the provided brush for the silver disk. Once you have a build up I do use a soft brush on the white plastic parts,, but NOT on the silver disk. They sell an additive for hard water build up, which may be your problem. I hope this helps.

I peeled it off. Mainly due to the heat that a hard drive can produce. I think the film is simply a remnant of the manufacturing process.

Gotcha. I wonder if you might have better luck getting a metal smith to fill it in with silver solder... Just a thought.

When in use my Mac reads that I unpluged or remover the drive without ejecting the drive first. In fact what is happening the CHEAP plastic usb housing is so lose that it slips and disconnects witch tell the computer that I unplugged it or did not eject it before ejecting it. It momentarily unmounts the quickly mounts aging,, unfortunately you lose the data you were transferring. Best to spend a few $$ and get something with a metal usb mount.

Glad you asked. Did the same thing to my disc as well, you have to tear the entire thing apart if you want your disc back. =[

You take the metal part out , clean it and put it back in. Very easy to do.

The back of the metal plate has adhesive on it. Just peal and stick. It seems to come off pretty clean. I replaced onto another camera with no problems. DO NOT SCRAPE ANY RESIDUE OFF. If there is a little residue, put a little WD40 on a paper towel and gently wipe it off. Good luck.

I didn't have any issues with the disk I would try the vendors website, they work great by the way

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!
