This thing, what i assume to be some kind of a lever is completely immovable, probably because the white plastic part on the left is aswell, however mine seems to be in a different position than others that ive seen are in? Its pulled somewhat towards the back, so it makes a disc fit in, so i assume this lever gets pushed back when a disc is inserted, however there is none inserted. (It's positioned in the back to the left)

There's somewhat of a white lever? attached to the white plastic thing, it looks somewhat like a half circle.

This article explains how to replace the PS4 hard drive without losing your game data. The big white plastic thing on the left is completely immovable, which seems weird because there seems to be a spring attached to it? Unscrew old drive > remove casing > insert new drive, metal pins facing inward > close casing > put everything back together. Those seem to be completely stuck because the one second to the front one (the front one is the one attached to the left roller) does not want to move. One way to find something good to use is by looking for a lens cloth. The cloth needs to be lint-free without dirt or debris that could scratch the disk. There's white geerwheels on the left, which the left roller in the front is connected to aswell. Method 1 Wiping off Dust and Debris Download Article 1 Get a clean microfiber cloth that won’t scratch the disk.

Doesn't seem like a cost effective repair at that point. Also, with an air blower, blow air into the ports. From what I've read, the PS4's optical drives are married to the console's mainboard, so replacement requires a new board as well. Clean the region properly, unplug the cables and remove any dust buildup from it.

I beat FarCry New Dawn with the PS4 Pro upside down. However there's a couple of things I've noticed looking at other people's drives and just trying out things with mine that seem a bit suspicious. The only solution that seems to work right now is to put the console on its side or upside down. I have watched numerous videos and read articles on this, other forum posts including but nothing seems to work.

Even if i manually unscrew everything and put in a disc into the drive, it wont read it when the Playstation is booted up.

So i used the manual ejection screw to get it out.įrom then onwards the Playstation would not let me insert discs anymore. It happened when i someday noticed there was a disc still in my playstation but it didn't read it nor would it eject it. Recently bought a faulty/dirty ps4 it now works great but is a bit temperamental with some games.I am putting this down to the drive being dirty so stripped.

Connect your PS4 controller via USB, press the PS button, and select 'Initialize PS4' option 6.Hello, I have had problems with my PS4 Slim disc drive not taking in discs for a while now.

Note: Resetting your PS4 will restore it to the factory setting and erase your game data. If all else fails reset your PS4 in Safe Mode. It will take some time to run this process (up to an hour or more).

Don't turn off your Playstation until the process is complete.

Connect your PS4 controller via USB, press the PS button, and select 'Rebuild Database.'.

If your PS4 still does not power on, rebuild the database in Safe Mode.

Connect your PS4 controller via USB, press the PS button, and select 'Restart System.'.

If you hear a second beep, release the power button. Next, you want to clean the outside of your PS4.

Press and hold down the power button for a few moments. First, make sure that your PS4 is switched off and all cables are disconnected from the console’s body.

If this method works, the console will accept the disk and turn it on.

Insert a PS4-acceptable disc into the disc drive.

If you can't quite figure out why the PS4 won't turn on, try these solutions:

Sometimes PS4 system software glitches or bugs can prevent the console from powering on.
