    Try putting mint Colgate toothpaste on it, just a tiny dab. Gently wipe the excess toothpaste off with a paper towel. You can see some different methods in the article How to Fix a Scratched CD.

    It may be that the battery on your controller has failed. Many repair shops can replace the battery for you. Or, if you are familiar with electronic repair, you can find many guides on this site to mend it yourself.
