Solution is to insert disc and immediately start tapping (not hard) right on top over disc area. Important that you tap before the reading starts. And just tap through 1st or 2nd reading of the disc (you will hear both 1st and 2nd attempts if you listen for it). Unfortunately, the solotion in this video did not work for me but will hopefully work for you and that you don’t need to tap like I do. In my opinion, Sony used cheap disc readers that start defaulting over time Edit: Woah! Never expected this post to recieve this amount of likes and comments with many succeeding and some unfortunetly not. Either way, I’ve tuned the org. post with a better explanation as a thank you to all 🙏
JP Stone you can’t patch hardware issues Sony just used cheap blue ray players in the ps4 that’s where the problem lies a dvd will work every time just got games cause there Blu-ray
@@OfficialdysM False. I had this exakt same issue and DVDs failed to recognise as well. But yeah, SONY really cheaped out on both the PS4 Pro and the Platinum headset. I will never be buying a SONY product again.
JP Stone I thought it was my disks problem, I bought 3 overwatches already, and here is my fourth one that i buyed today, and its saying the same exact thing.
You can also flip the console on its side (like the PS2 days) and insert the disc. In some cases the issue is with the mechanism that accepts and plays the disc. That’s worked consistently for me.
May 4, 2020 I recently had this problem, the console pointed out to me that the disc was not recognized, I tried all methods including tapping the console lid, but it only worked for a while. When none of the methods finally worked and I saw Sony customer service stopped due to the coronavirus, I decided to take drastic action. All I did was disassemble the reader, clean the mechanism a bit, and then carefully reinstall it on the console. And it worked, the disks were recognized by the console again, the problem is located in the mechanism of the blueray reader, I deduce that it is from the factory, possibly it also has to do with the Flex of the reader. You can try this in case you have the necessary electronic knowledge.
Like you I have tried all the methods, and likewise, the tapping method worked twice for me. I would like to know how you took the ps4 apart and how you cleaned it? FYI I have a ps4 slim
I've had the same problem, and performing a system update did not resolve if for me.. However, I was able to temporarily fix the issue by placing the PS4 Pro vertically, instead of horizontal. You might want to try that yourselves if you experience the same issue! Keep in mind that the PS4 should be completely turned off when you lift it up and turn it, so you don't scratch whatever disc is inside or the drive itself.
@@dersimpa9517 Awesome! Glad I could help 😊 It worked for several months for me, but I decided to sell the unit a while ago. The new owner haven’t complained either 👍
@@deadasadodo1016 - In my case, the solution was to let it stand vertically. The disc drive then became part of the top half of the console and the discs where inserted vertically (disc label to the left instead of up). Hope this helps!
I did all 6 steps on safe mode and nothing worked. Sony told me to go f*** myself when I called them because it’s been just over a year. Now I have a $400 broken console. Awesome. Going to have to perform surgery on it and check out the optical drive and hope for the best.
Jake Calatayud Ever fix it, it's an easy fix if you know how to open up you console. It could be a number of things but if you're lucky it's just a loose band cable from over time. Or a simple motor swap
So this did work, however, it might not be a permanent fix. I followed this video about 5-6 months ago, but as of yesterday Saturday the 14th it happened again. I'm pending the update right now but it's possible your assumption of the disc reader going bad. Like this is an early sign of it before it goes for good. Up vote this so others see a current update. :)
Hi everyone, if anyone is facing the issues of disc's not reading, the two solutions I found here work (the solution on the video didn't work for me) 1. Putting the console in vertical worked perfectly 2. Blowing air in the disc reader also worked perfectly now my ps4 Pro just works. Thanks.
The tapping HELP. 10X! also, my theory is to avoid leaving electric/heavy stuff on top of your PS. (in my case it was a MacBook Pro I've left on top of the PS4 Pro overnight, the day after I started seeing the disk error)
Hello, IDO, thank-you dude that advice actually worked thanks again coz I hadn't thought of that, my only other solution was to throw out the window. 😁✌👍🇬🇧
I have this problem as well. Could it possibly be something wrong from the inside or is it precisely this. Because when this problem started my disc wouldn’t come out and after a while it finally let me take it out
It works for me but now I have to do the same steps every time I enter a different disc. Nevermind,I scrolls through the comments and found this one guy saying blow through the CD hole and it actually worked.All credit to that guy
Help please I bought fifa 20 and I put it in after downloading I started it then my ps4 done weird noises I was like ok then it just froze it didn't say unrecognised disc or anything it froze and so I tried to take my discussion out I had to press the disc button so much times to get it out please help I really need help please😢
Same thing happen to me eject the disc and start a game like warzone so that the fans can run let it sit for like 5 mins then put the disc in and it should work without the clicking noise this worked for me one time
Hey guys I was having the same problem some people below recommended tapping (not to hard) the area over the disk insert and it worked for me hope that helps you as well.
This was a helpful video.. but however (I didnt hit thumbs down btw) it didn't work for me.. I've came to the source that whatever game you want to play. 1st. put the game in you want to play. 2nd power the console completely off. 3rd. Hold the power button five secs till safe mode appears. 4th. Hold the power button shut it back down. 5th.. touch the power button one time.. log in. the game is ready for play..
@@charlotteflair1383 I'm sorry to hear it didn't work you.. but only suggestions I have is buy an actual ps4 cleaning CD.. running that a few times an try your game.. if that doesn't work you will need to replace your blu ray drive.. they sell them on Amazon for 32 dollars.. its 3 different drives depends on what console you have so make sure you read the one your getting..
@Duo VII Top comment managed to solve the issue for me, god knows why. "Solution is to insert disc and directly start tapping (not hard) on top of the console, right on top over disc area, not from side, but from top. And just tap about 5 times. The console will begin to read" Hope it works for you too, I was having issues with Ghost of Tsushima also
I'm having the same issue, my PS4 is the fat one and is 6yo (bought in 2014), it was working fine when suddenly stopped reading any discs. I tried to clean the disc, put another one, cleaning next the disc drive area (without opening it), reinstall the system firmware, initialize PS4, recreate the database and nothing works, I tried to update and also didn't fixed my problem, so I'm trying to update again after initializing... I dont know if it's a 7.51 firmware problem, if my disc drive died or if the optical device is dirty or broken, If it's something I didn't tried, I'm kinda desperate :c
@@Awesome-Aaron06 yeah, that sucks... updated and still have this issue... looks like I'll have to take him to a professional tomorrow, probably is some dirt in the disk drive or the optical reader died, anyway some money will have to be spent
RIGHT WHEN YOU PUT IN THE DISC you can: 1. Tap in the middle of the disc area and taps should be with a LITTLE force or more. 2. When you instert the disc help the console by pushing in the disc with a LITTLE force Ur welcome # Lt_beatleman_53
For me Shadow of collosus is working fine. But red dead isn't. It was working fine 3 days back. Infact 4 or my games aren't working anymore. Any fix for this? Shadow works so the ps4 is reading fine.
i had the same problem .. i watched a video when someone turned the console upside down , i tried it and a credit card came out of the cd reader cuz my brother was trying to bye V bucks , my point is that you should check if there is something stuck inside .
Their shit has issues. Mine just started this today I'm also just outside 1 yr warranty complete bullshit. I haven't tried your fix yet. But I'm 48 yrs old no kids or anyone has been near or touched my ps4 pro, there is no way it should be doing this I'm PISSED.
I have a similar issue with uncharted 4 on the regular PS4. I've tried two different disks and it's the same issue. Does the regular PS4 have this safe mode capability as well?
Amor Antonio there’s a video i see it yesterday is for new fix way that you flip your PS4 half rise and put the CD on it will work try it ,,,,,, Sorry for my english
Insert the disc in and then tap it for 20-30 seconds and it should read, trust me I have done it on mine and it did work and it should work on yours as well.
It happens on my overwatch then when red dead 2 came out I bought it and downloaded the data disc then downloaded the full game and played normaly the next time i turned on my (regular) ps4 then it get that sound bbbblabkknbbb then i saw the disc is not there nor the unknown disc not shown then I exited the game by clicking the button down the turn off button then I entered the disc and a unknown disc shown up
It worked for me.. not only that it was able to play but it also was able to eject a disc that shouldn't have been there in the first place. So thank you. I don't agree with the tapping method. As it is commenting below. Your method worked just perfect.
So two years later...well if your still having that issue when putting the disc in start lightly tapping on the top of where you put your disc in only for the first to reading attempts. Signified by the load sort if rotating sounds
I had this issue for a while, and for a while whenever I wanted to play a disc, I had to flip it on the side. Lately, even flipping on its side didn't help and I had to shake it around a bit. Now I'm looking for a better fix.
Just expienced this problem and, bloody hell, it worked! Thank you! I guess you're too young to remember the ps1 disc read error where you had to turn the console upside down to make the game workk
@@S1S0.11 tapping directly over the disc drive while the game is trying to be read is the only solution I've found. It's annoying and takes a few tries sometimes but works.
I had this exact problem. Sony's website said to re build the database in safe mode. I started watching this whilst it was re building. Was going to try this next but re building the database fixed it also. Guess it's just another way to fix some bad code somewhere.
The problem I have is when I start up the ps4 it makes weird noises and ejects and puts back in and it works from there it just gives me a heart attack everytime
My PS4 makes a really loud buzzing noise and it’s not the fan because the fan has been cleaned before. Basically whenever I boot up a disc in the console or turn on the console with a disc inside it makes an EXTREMELY loud noise that is literally deafening. For some reason the disc drive works perfectly and can download/read discs but it takes like 5 tries and you can clearly hear the disc drive failing a few times over. Not sure what to do here
On my PS4 it's making a weird noise for 10 seconds for all my discs I've had them all for bout a year I can't tell if it's my PS4 or our my discs dirty they do look dirty help pls Standered PS4
Hey guys quick question. I have the ps4 slim and recently for some reason that weird disc reading noise starts happening when I TURN ON THE PS4.... i don't understand why it does this on start up but when i put in discs 99% of the time it doesnt read....help?
Haybert same issue man people keep saying you just have to get a new system or open it up and see what the problem is. Really sucks because this just started happening to me today and I just bought resident evil 2 remake 😐
For anyone else trying this, the trick would appear to be don't have a disc in the drive when you do the update. I did the first time and it didn't work, so I tried removing the disc and updating again - success this time!
Mine does the same. Only problem is after you either put it in rest mode or switch it off completely you get the same problem again.. Then you have to redo it all. Did you have the same problem?
Does this work for slim or clasic? Cuz fallout 4 does the same thing and i have like 20+ hours on it and most dlc's so i dont want to lose the data cuz i cant afford a new copy of the game
I tried this and it worked first time then I saw another video where the dude cleaned the back with napkin or q tip and then stood the PS4 instead of laying down. Did this and my PS4 pro been working since then.
DUde!! This worked. mine wasn't reading any disk for the first time and I was searching for a solution. Tried the reinstall update and that didn't work. I started searching the comments for different solutions and was getting bummed thinking was gonna have to take it apart till I came across your method. So I said meh might as well give it a try. I put the disk in and gave it a few gentle thumps while it was making the noise and presto It read the disk!! Thanks!!
Thanks bro.. that really workout for my ps4 slim !! thats a real super solution you came up with just to lightly push on the top of the ps4 console while inserting the disc. PERFECT IM BACK ON GTA 5 !!! GOOD LOOKN OUT BRO
@@Ghost-zd2cn well whenever i turn on my ps4 and see the disc like that i take it out put it back in then gently taping on top of disc reader section of the ps4 it usually works more than not. (If not then just repeat it)

So two years later...well if your still having that issue when putting the disc in start lightly tapping on the top of where you put your disc in only for the first to reading attempts. Signified by the load sort if rotating sounds
Thanks, that actually helped. I was a little sad beacause i couldnt play fifa but this helped thanks. :)
ToXyDK not working with me and am also sad cuz I can't play Fifa ) :
Sad coz I also can’t play fifa
I also can't play FIFA
sad cause now my fifa is unrecognisable. buying the digital version now
LETS HOPE THIS WORKS WITH MY FIFA
I had this issue for a while, and for a while whenever I wanted to play a disc, I had to flip it on the side. Lately, even flipping on its side didn't help and I had to shake it around a bit. Now I'm looking for a better fix.
did you find a better solution?
Many thanks, finally I can play borderlands again, have tried so many things and the answer is so simple...
I can’t believe no one figure the problem out at this point, it’s been years, always the same tips “tap it, put it horizontally”
Just expienced this problem and, bloody hell, it worked! Thank you! I guess you're too young to remember the ps1 disc read error where you had to turn the console upside down to make the game workk
Thank you , nothing was working until I turned my console upside down and started smacking it 😂
My PS4 just started doing this with r6. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t and it only happens with that game. Super strange.
02BMW e46 how did you fix it bcz with r6 my ps does it aswell
mine is doing this too
@@S1S0.11 tapping directly over the disc drive while the game is trying to be read is the only solution I've found. It's annoying and takes a few tries sometimes but works.
02BMW e46 ty but i already fixed it just reupdate ur software of the ps its easy just turn it of and hold the ps4 til it goes 2 tiks and reupdate
@@S1S0.11 nice glad you got it sorted out. Unfortunately that didn't fix mine
I had this exact problem. Sony's website said to re build the database in safe mode. I started watching this whilst it was re building. Was going to try this next but re building the database fixed it also. Guess it's just another way to fix some bad code somewhere.
The tapping worked just as soon as you put the disc in you tap on it lightly and it's should work:) Hope this helps
I don't understand can you explain please ?
The problem I have is when I start up the ps4 it makes weird noises and ejects and puts back in and it works from there it just gives me a heart attack everytime
So far my ps4 slim has no issues. I am also on the latest firmware 5.01
AlphaMax we on 5.50 now
So they why did you watch this lmao
what fixed it for me was that i put my ps4 vertically and i never had this error again
Holy shit, this worked right away lol. Time to find a different place to put my p4.
Still no problem? Because I hate touching my baby and hitiing it also going to sell it so I'm gonna tell the buyer to put it vertical
Was I supposed to keep the disc inside while updating? Cuz it didn’t work for me :(
I’ve tried this and it’s not having it by the slightest
My PS4 makes a really loud buzzing noise and it’s not the fan because the fan has been cleaned before. Basically whenever I boot up a disc in the console or turn on the console with a disc inside it makes an EXTREMELY loud noise that is literally deafening. For some reason the disc drive works perfectly and can download/read discs but it takes like 5 tries and you can clearly hear the disc drive failing a few times over. Not sure what to do here
Started experiencing the same error after I cleared some data and free up more space for storage. Could this be the cause of it?
Vinnie Uriarte Same
Me too
Me too
On my PS4 it's making a weird noise for 10 seconds for all my discs I've had them all for bout a year I can't tell if it's my PS4 or our my discs dirty they do look dirty help pls Standered PS4
Thank you so much, brother, for your efforts.
Hey guys quick question. I have the ps4 slim and recently for some reason that weird disc reading noise starts happening when I TURN ON THE PS4.... i don't understand why it does this on start up but when i put in discs 99% of the time it doesnt read....help?
Haybert same issue man people keep saying you just have to get a new system or open it up and see what the problem is. Really sucks because this just started happening to me today and I just bought resident evil 2 remake 😐
Will it work for Slim. Bc it's just happening now I never had a problem with this ever so let's hope this works
For anyone else trying this, the trick would appear to be don't have a disc in the drive when you do the update. I did the first time and it didn't work, so I tried removing the disc and updating again - success this time!
Thanks so much mate! Bloody awsome!
Lol I got the same problem so came here
Similar issue here with the original ps4 and Resident Evil. It has been randomly ejecting and making harsh whirring noises.
fullicat not with the slim
fullicat same
mine too
Mine does the same. Only problem is after you either put it in rest mode or switch it off completely you get the same problem again.. Then you have to redo it all. Did you have the same problem?
It happened the same thing to my PS4 slim. It doesn't recognize the Spider-Man PS4 Game
Best Boys Z same here brother
I just took out a CD for the tenth time... Just found my ID someone shoved in my ps4...
Turned my ps4 side-ways and the ID came out
I tried doing it and it didn’t work,(slim PS4 btw) I was looking forward to play gta
If you put the CD in while the PS4 is tilted sideways it will work
@spooky your welcome
Thanks mate
How do.u do that
@@olujokehh1523 instead of the PlayStation being flat put it on its side
Is it still working
Wow it’s 2020 and this still works!thanks man much love be safe
My disc show a big X
I was having this exact issue just now with Kingdom Hearts III, did what was in the video and it worked. ✌️
to the guy who said to tap on the top of my ps4 thank you because it worked
Does this work for slim or clasic? Cuz fallout 4 does the same thing and i have like 20+ hours on it and most dlc's so i dont want to lose the data cuz i cant afford a new copy of the game
These comments literally saved me
Hey bro did it fix permanently are you having issues or did it stop
For me. It was to flip the PS4 sideways. (In stand)
🤷🏻♂️ just this......very weird
Same 😂
Same haha
Sero Blu thanks for the idea it worked instantly
Actually?
@@hamstergamer2992 yes
Mine never had this problem. Maybe it’s a defective unit. I hope you find a resolution.
+Jacob Perez so far it's still working great
Marc The Geek
You can just restart your ps4, next time it happens
+MKX VISH I did that a bunch of times and didn't work like this did.
I know the resolution to this problem. It's not native 4k. Bdum tshh.
Malik Crim what is it then
Mark did u get any issues after this?
Dude your a life saver good job 👍🏼 (I subbed
It worked and I have original PS4 thanks
I tried this and it worked first time then I saw another video where the dude cleaned the back with napkin or q tip and then stood the PS4 instead of laying down. Did this and my PS4 pro been working since then.
Tapping on the PS4 while it’s making the noise seems to help
If u do it alot then itll just turn out like mine rn i tap it and it doesnt work no more so im kinda upset that sony's products have to be hit to work
@@christopherchavez7377 how long did it work for?
@@BokyQuake like for 6 to 5 months but now its working fine i dont tap it anymore i just insert and it reads ot like any other ps4
@@christopherchavez7377 cool, mine works when i tilt it a bit
DUde!! This worked. mine wasn't reading any disk for the first time and I was searching for a solution. Tried the reinstall update and that didn't work. I started searching the comments for different solutions and was getting bummed thinking was gonna have to take it apart till I came across your method. So I said meh might as well give it a try. I put the disk in and gave it a few gentle thumps while it was making the noise and presto It read the disk!! Thanks!!
Did this when i tried catherine but i got it to work holding lightly above were the disc is inserted pushing down lightly on console it works now
Thanks bro.. that really workout for my ps4 slim !! thats a real super solution you came up with just to lightly push on the top of the ps4 console while inserting the disc. PERFECT IM BACK ON GTA 5 !!! GOOD LOOKN OUT BRO
@@shawnrico no problem bro just glad it worked an could help out
I updated my system and it still didn’t read it, so I did the soft tapping thing and it worked again I’m starting to wonder if it’s just two dusty ?
I had the problem with overwatsch
I have the same problem with same game bro 🙁
Yep same but worked now
Same
Stay_cool XD how it worked?
@@Ghost-zd2cn well whenever i turn on my ps4 and see the disc like that i take it out put it back in then gently taping on top of disc reader section of the ps4 it usually works more than not. (If not then just repeat it)
Bro thanks for the video but it still not work by me,Help lol or have anyone a other idea maybe? .. 😭
