Hi Steve? I watched recently all your older video. Your voice way more 'normal' rather current one, lol. Love both of them but back then, your hair a bit thicc 🤣
The buzzing noise comes from the manual eject screw after someone ejected a disc manually. It keeps spinning when the gears are moving while inserting a disc (like in this case in your video 7:34) and it is not supposed to do so, it is supposed to stay still while the disc drive is taking discs the automated way, reseating it will fix the issue. This can happen to a PS4 disc drive too
One of the many things i like about your content is your genuine personality. Admitting you made a mistake and not editing it out to make it seem like you’re “perfect”.
Man ..one of the main reasons i like you and your videos so much is that you always show it when you mess up or forget to do something important while repairing since you can easily eliminate that while editing your video ... you don't claim perfection and you definitely don't show off ... you are amazing man ... respect
@@kastaway-mtx maybe it's Apple disliking any videos that have anything to do with repairing the product yourself instead of taking it to the manufacturer lol
I like when he has fun with silly edits in these videos. It feels pretty genuine. Which has become pretty rare these days on TH-cam with everyone trying to be overly excited about everything.
I actually had the exact same issue on my ps5 when I was trying to fix the extremely loud disc drive. Eventually I found out if I just took out the spindle and re-seated the top metal piece it fixed the issue. The buzzing went away on its own, but its still noisy.
@@lucytello8002 thats a machine where you can press on a button and if you are unlucky the machine will spit out a random number of cards. I had an problem with mine as well sometimes the cards hit the plastic cover and he doesn't spit them out.
Same, I tried to go back and fix some old joycons I previously tried fixing due to stick drift but ultimately, my first repair didn’t work even though I replaced the thumb stick things. Went back a week or so again bc I felt inspired and again, it didn’t work. I realized afterwards that a simple calibration was all it needed lol.
This has happened to a lot of ps5s. It's because of a video on TH-cam that is showing people how to "fix a loud disk drive". But it ends up doing this to the ps5. I did it to mine, but luckily I was able to fix it.
7:36 that noise is that screw and it means its slightly loose. I guess whatever broke that one gear tooth did loosen whole train. maybe you could lubricate that one screw that is rotating and eating that plastic around itself ? maybe that's the vibration source.
I was wondering if the screw was meant to spin. Otherwise I don’t know how he or anyone watching the video could have missed it. He points right at it seconds before it starts to spin and rattle.
Thanks, Steve had a PS5 come in last week with HDMI issues had a noisy disc drive very noisy gears grinding not taking discs. I took it apart reset the mechanisms and made sure the gearing was set right luckily this part was ok on this PS5 no shaving was needed to the plastic. This fixed the noisy disc drive I suspect it was caused by the console falling when the HDMI was broken.

Yeah I don’t know how he missed that when he pointed right at it seconds before it started to spin. And I don’t understand why everyone is so caught up on the gears. It’s clear as day that screw was spinning and rattling around in there.
I really love these videos. They’re so relaxing. I try to repair electronics myself when I can and when I do I feel immense happiness. Thanks doing what you do Steve!
Yes, you could replace it but you'd also need to make sure to replace the green board too. I'm not 100% sure that they are married but I think they are.
Plastic gears are usually after market and not custom. But if they are maybe it is time to look into a cheap desktop injection molding machine and determine a mold of the gears to make on demand. It's a small investment, but it would support all future consoles as well as give you the ability to sell them as spare parts.
First of many to come. Since the ps2 I have problems with the disc drive.. ps4 had to buy all my games again digital... I'm so happy I got the ps5 digital edition 😁😁😁
aw man i know all to well how that feels, you get it all back together and then realized you misalligned or didnt plug or missed something taking it apart gets annoying especially since you need to test it
Hi, You should have used Vaseline petroleum jelly to lubricate that plastic gear, it works amazingly good when something this sort of happens with gears.
I think this "sliding-under" mechanism is prone to failure. Seems like every time you eject the spinning game disc, the white disc will also spin and cut into this lever mechanism. I wonder how often the owner switches game discs.
I really wish these manufacturers would spend the extra bit and make things like gears out of metal... i mean when you are spending this much on something it should be built to at least withstand a jammed drive without breaking gears or ruining other parts. My ps5 had to be sent back due to drive not ejecting all the time too...
For a console that young it amazes me how much broken ones I get to see on this channel. And that must be just the top of the iceberg. I'm glad I invested my money in getting a game pc.
Dat moment of forgetting a small cable unplugged, is just like me wondering why my cpu went to 100°c after opening web browser, turns out, I left the cpu water pump unplugged,, damn
Man tronic fix i started fixing consoles and all learning from you the only thing i need is patients tho because i tend to like get pissed if something dont act right also i tend to break it even more lol 😂😂
I finally bought my base PS4 an external cooling unit that attaches to the back after years of trying different fixes. It is finally working quietly now, yikes that took a long time lol
Thats strange you shouldnt need a external cooling unit to cool a console that should do the job itself. What are these different fixes you have tried? Did you take it apart and clean the heatsink incase it was trapped with dust? Have you tried replacing the thermal paste with MX-4? Let me know as I want to help you sas you shouldnt need to be using external cooling.
It's as fixed as it can be right now since there are no parts available. I know that a broken gear CAN cause noise but I don't think that's the source of the noise in this case.
@@Tronicsfix a new revision might fix it too. Seeing as it took Sony 3 revisions to finally get the Motherboard fight on the ps4, maybe they'll be able to fix a disc drive problem faster?
wonder how did it break? and no my disc drive still quite stock, not that noisy and mind you system has been transported to more than one place. thank God no mishaps and pray it stays that way. same with the fans being silent while playing or doing any installation.
Steve, did you notice that the drive wasn't making that buzzing noise when it was ejecting the disc? I, too think that this is not a case of gears as those would make the exact same noise when ejecting the disc as the only thing changing is the direction in which the gears spin. It may be a motor broken inside and when it spins 'forward' it buzzes but when it spins 'backwards' it doesn't. Might be worth a shot.
Good point, but also when the disc is going in there's a lot more pressure on the gears. Since the noise is still there but just quieter when the disc is ejecting I think it's a matter of how much load is on the gears. I could be wrong on that but it makes sense to me. It also could just be the eject gear.
I have an issue where the disc drive doesn't read any disc. No issues with disc going in or out. Just,won't read. Awaiting shipping label from Sony to return

Is your PS5 disc drive really loud?
No PS5 isn't released yet☹️🤣
Mines is loud wen I put discs in..I don't use it coz of the noise..I just use digital now

@@Tronicsfix looking through the comments I haven’t come across anyone saying this yet but wasn’t that screw spinning making the noise? Watch at 7:33
Unless it’s supposed to spin I guess...
I tried fixing an electronic uno machine but failed horribly but I was inspired by you to do it
That's a start! I've fixed lots of stuff until it was broken!
If just something broke off you can fix a lot with thin super glue and tiny glass pearls.
Uno machine?

People who have broken ps5's are just providing us with content from Steve
Nice, if the disc drive was totalled, would another disc drive work in the same console?
Yes, you could replace it but you'd also need to make sure to replace the green board too. I'm not 100% sure that they are married but I think they are.
@@Tronicsfix Alright. Cheers.
@@Tronicsfix Could you test this out in another video? I presume you have at least 2 machines. Would make a interesting video.
keep the electronics swap out the mechanics. Motor is okay to swap.
Most likely like the PS3 the board is married to the motherboard and would need swapped over to new drive. But just a guess
this guy is a freaking wizard! I can't get enough
I feel like you invented the ps5 because of how professional you are when fixing this ps5. Did you invent the ps5...?
Always good to watch this guy do his stuff.
When you find out what causes buzzing in the disk drive, can you make a video on it or mention it in one?
Plastic gears are usually after market and not custom. But if they are maybe it is time to look into a cheap desktop injection molding machine and determine a mold of the gears to make on demand. It's a small investment, but it would support all future consoles as well as give you the ability to sell them as spare parts.
That's definitely user damage, looks like a disc has been rammed in, breaking the teeth and knocking everything out of place.
