I bought a PS4 that was extremely dusty, and it was a smoker's PS4, so the whole thing was gunked up. I started with spraying the dust out of everything. Then I tried the disc drive and it wasn't even taking, so I did the Qtip to the rollers thing and it worked like a charm like it usually does. But the disc wasn't reading afterwards. I tried your software methods, but I ended up having to take the disc drive apart and clean the laser. And luckily for me it did work right after. Very happy I don't have to replace the drive. When I was putting it back together I had to find a different person's video because your angle is very hard to see sometimes, and you went through the disassembly and reassembly too fast. I couldn't figure out where that small ribbon cable on the right went.
“Spin and stop, Spin and stop” great description. I should’ve searched that first it took like 5 videos before watching the one that really is what I’m looking for. Good video
I'm not even joking if it's not recognising disks but it's making the noise like it's trying, quickly slap the top of it until it does. Should aim for about 10 slaps within 3 seconds. spank it sort of light but with a little bit of force don't smack the shit out of it. Works 100% of the time for me
Mine did the exact same thing. I just tap on the ps4 above the BR drive as I insert a disc until I hear it start spinning and it fixed my problem. Bit of a ball ache to tap every time when you insert but its better than dropping 50 bucks on a new drive and believe it or not but it seems to be consistent problem.
What's the issue that causes these lasers not to work tho? Just out of curiosity. My pro has had this issue since about a month after I bought it. It will actually read dvds, but not Blu rays or games. Having bought it off of ebay, although new, I had no receipt to take it back anywhere. Periodically I'd check TH-cam, Playstation forums, and Google searches to no avail. The videos never actually solved the problem. And Sony, as far as I know, has never addressed it, or responded to the numerous complaints about this issue. Glad to finally see it resolved. Tho I'll probably just upgrade to Ps5 soon instead of bothering to pay to have it fixed, it's good to have closer. For several years now I've just been hard tapping the console right above where the disc goes in as it's loading to get it to read the disc. And that trick has always worked. Matter of fact, I'm about to do it right now and play some fallout 76, lol.
Awesome video man. I have same issue it spins it tries to read and u can almost here it retry. Weird tho cause sometimes will read it fine. Idk if ps5 would be in stock then wouldn’t have this issue. Anyway lol it would read sometime.
So my disc drive is read the disc until it goes to start the game and then says make sure disc isn't dirty or damaged but the game is brand new any suggestions
Hi I have a ps4 Model 1102a. I am getting the 'unrecognised disc error' on most discs (even brand new ones). I am going to try replace the parts myself - my question is, do I need to buy the whole replacement optical drive or just the laser lens? I have two links for reference: @t @t I live in Australia. There is quite a difference in prices and that is why I ask which type of parts I need - the laser reader or the whole optical drive?
Just thought I’d add my own symptoms and thoughts in case it helps anyone. So I’ve had a few issues recently with mine. I took it apart and put back together to clean, add new thermal paste and replace the CMOS CR2032 battery. Initially it seemed to work fine but the drive was doing the thing where is takes the disc, makes noise intermittently then spits it out while then deciding to block the entry point. Taking out the power for several mins would restart this process with the door open from startup, but the same would continually happen. I took the drive out and also turned that plastic screw a bit which moves the rollers (not sure if it was doing anything beneficial) and put it back. Problem was solved, until about 2 weeks after when I’d been moving the console. Now things were different. This time it took the disc and sounded like it was spinning as normal, however the laser wasn’t picking up on anything at all. No error message either. I did try to do a system update from safe mode and ended up getting a continual error. This was the drive error which happens when there’s an issue with the drive itself and it won’t let you update system files, even in safe mode. I took it apart and had it on its side while testing it after pressing the ribbon cable a bit that’s at the top. I was also worried about this because one guy’s video said to pull the metal tab to remove the cable when in fact you’re supposed to press it down and remove. I felt like I might have disrupted that tab when I was first trying to take it out. I think it’s the ribbon cable causing the issue in the connector and explains the error message on not updating. I thought it could have been the drive itself but surely a loose connection on the cable would cause the update to fail if it relies on communicating with the main board. So far I’ve got it working but there’s definitely something temperamental going on. There’s that rubber foot issue that I ruled out as I was getting the first issue with the door locking even with the lid off and testing the sensor with something metal on the eject plate. That was more when I had the issue of the system ejecting the disc originally.
Really really glad you brought up cleaning the laser even just to make fun of it haha. Bought a super dusty one that was having this exact issue along with about 3 other ones before it and cleaning the laser was the final fix to get everything working. Ty ty ty
Could it still be blu Ray drive if my ps4 will still play some games, but then I have other games that are brand new that just keep saying unrecognized disc?..
I have my PS4 only reading a fe games and with others it loads for a bit and then stops. I already did the safe mode option 5 but did want to work and the does the same thing. Should I change the laser at this point
Great tips. Mine first started and I just stood it up and that seemed to fix it easy. Then it started again and now it won’t read blue rag discs at all. Again nice tips
Okay I got a question for you how do you fix a PS4 when it reads the game disc but part way through loading it it comes back with the saying error that the disc is dirty or broken and I already cleaned and replaced the laser but it still does the same thing and one day it just started doing this it wasn't locked it was in touch the game wasn't ejected it just started saying it to Grand theft Auto and all my other disc games how do I fix it
😢😢hello well it worked really worked i played 1 match my wwe2k23 was doing that so hearing the music on the background is rarely cause immediately when i open the application it shows display then it shows that i did it use your method it worked i played 1 match when i put on a tag team match my ps4 started making that unrecognizable sound then boom close application and remove disc i did again do the method still works well but durunf first player entrance that pops up again i deleted the application and redo that process ut does the sane thing but doesn't want me to play 1 single match 😢
Soo, mine loads the game/downloads the game! But bit after about 2 mins it stops and says can't read disk eject! It does the clunk sound over and over as well!
I have a similar issue. It's a 2 disc game, RDR2, I had put it on my PS4 a year or so ago, but started having freezing issues. For a while I could restart and still play. Then the console started kicking out the disc, saying files were corrupted and I should delete. So I deleted. Re-installed data disc just fine, prompted to put in game disc to finish. It loads about 20% and pauses, won't go any further. I have gone to safe mode, updated/rebuild data base, unplugged overnight, cleaned both sides of disc, no visible scratches or smudges or defects on disc, nothing seems to help. Other games like Madden19, Uncharted work just fine. Any suggestions?
Would the regular ps4 have the same drive as the ps4 slim? Also is there a different name in which I could find the part I need under cause "blu ray drive" isnt helping
I have a brand new ps4 pro just came today and a brand new disc and dosen't read the disc say insert the disc every time what can I do if you se my comment reply please
What if it only reads some disc's others it will not. Even with a brand new disc drive it does the exact same issue. I can put watchdogs and rocket league in works first time but if I try fallout or black ops it says unrecognised disc. Disc's are immaculate with no issue what so ever work in other console perfectly fine
I bought a ps4, but don't have a game, but I have a dvd. The dvd plays fine on the ps4. When I buy a game, I'll test that. the dvd works fine, is that a good enough sign that a ps4 game will work as well on my ps4 too, thank you!
Hey I had a question so my ps4 reads all discs besides the one I put In there it’s just a normal ps4 game and I went ahead and started downloading it and it stopped mid download and won’t download I think it’s the drive thing u where talking about in this video but idk someone plz help me with this problem it would be appreciated.
So they’re actually isn’t a way to clean up the old laser? I mean I get it, especially with me making this comment September 2023, some of these blue drives are getting to be pretty old. But I feel like they’re not so old that you couldn’t have tried isopropyl alcohol and dusting first? maybe in some cases the laser has been used for so long that it’s bad. How can you tell the difference?
I have a ps4 launch model and I can say cleaning the lazer is a 50/50 I mess with electronics for a couple years now and it's normal down to the board that's married ot the lazer in my case its the lazer "before and after cleaning with 91%ipa"
Thanks for the video my ps4 is doing the same will read then try to eject then Gose to unrecognized disc I just buy the game in ps store But sucks if I want to watch a blue ray movie
While I do prefer cartridges, it wouldn’t be possible with modern consoles because of storage . Discs hold more space than carts, and most games now are more than 100 gb.

my pvz gw2 works for about a minute and then says disk cannot be read, it sucks, I used to play this game all the time and I guess it's unplayable now. I tried rebuilding the database, restarting it, and even factory reset, still doesn't work. all the other disks work perfectly fine.
i had my laser replaced once a month ago and now it started having the same issue again anything else i need to know about this? maybe user error? maybe something else? btw i have a ps4 slim with the same issue spin stop spin stop. thanks everyone in advance.
This is a question. I am fourteen and when I put in a disc it doesn’t make any sound. What does that mean? And how would I be able to fix it? (If I’m not an adult that is smart) 😪
I got fifa 18 like 3 years ago for my PS4. Whenever I put it in my PS4 it says “cannot read” and sometimes it works but everytime an error occurs in the same part. Any help pls?
My Ps4 reads the Discs perfectly At least the most😅 When i put Dying Light and Horizon Zero Dawn in it says non recognized Disc. I put the Game out put a different Game in. It works. I put Dying Light or Horizon Zero Dawn in. Non recognized Disc😭 . It's just with these two Games. All my other Games work. The Discs are not dirty or have any Scratches. What the Hell is going on?
I'm looking to buy a second ps4 and it's my brothers second one, he says the disc reader has issues, it doesn't read some of the time. Would you say that it's going bad or there's something that can fix it
How do I send you my ps4 to get fix my fix won’t work or read take mad long to load I have try everything I being buying game online to play cause all the game dic I got won’t work I refuse to give up on this ps4
Mine reads them momentarily. But then it cuts to a screen stating it cannot read the disc. Supposedly the disc is damaged. But they're in excellent condition and have been read in their state flawlessly in a previous PS4.
@@blakeshoup9946 yes, surprisingly a strange act I came across when a newly purchased PS4 was not working. You literally have to stand on the PS4, weird, but this is the second one (though used condition) I did it and boom! No longer did I receive the message. Even though the disc has some scratches, it never came on again. Just stand lightly, not add a good amount of weight while stepping on it, just try to be careful around the area where the HDD is, not that again it ever affected it.
@@blakeshoup9946 even I couldn't believe it when I saw the dude showing it do it. Tried it immediately and my PS4 was alive again. The recent one had the disc read problem, did it and never had a problem. I also blew into the disc drive, even though best thing you might have to do is clean the laser in the disc drive.
The real trick is, right when you insert the disc just tap in the middle of the disc area LIGHTLY and it should help the ps4 to read the disc. It will be hard at first but never give up. Gradually the ps4 will be eaiser to handle and it will occasionally work on it's own. Another method is to just flip the ps4 on its side but I just use the tapping method. I've done this for 2 years now and it was rough and hard at first but just keep trying and put the disc back out and in again.
When you say flip on its side do you mean stand it vertically or horizontally? As mine has lived vertically for 4 years and has started to struggle reading discs the last few months, just read your comment and thought great Ill try lying it down on its side, but then wondered which way you consider on its side? But I will try lightly touching the middle of the disc area to see if that helps EDIT: I havent tried turning it over yet but did try tapping the top of the disc area and heard it spin up first time, thanks! With it struggling for a while now and me sometimes sat there for 15-20 minutes ejecting and re-inserting until it reads and spins up, hearing that sound as the disc spins up feels like a little lottery win
@@Fromatic yes, its very slow at the start but it will get better. I also ment putting the ps4 vertically but if you already have done that the just go with the tapping "solution". Otherwise putting it on its side vertically did help me
Hi can anyone help with my ps4.... When ever I try inserting a disk on my ps4 while its on it doesn't recognise or show a disk logo on my screen. It only recognises once I restart it, does any 1 know a solution for this or is it a software glitch... Please help
I opened mines up a few times cleaned it and got a new laser kept same logic bored and connection ribbons it wont spin still ..so i swapped the new laser and put it on the original laser slide from old laser still doesn't spin laser tries to read .
mine keeps making this clicking noise when I put it in, I don't get any error message, it just doesn't recognise the CD as if nothing was there, can anyone help me with this?
slap the top of it sort of lightly but with a little bit of force while it's trying to register and making that noise. And slap it quite fast, I know it sounds crazy but it works for mine
How do you know when a laser is bad or a drive is bad ?! I don't know wtf is happening Because I never ever place discs I been playing game downloads only from the beginning I played maybe 5 discs in the 6 years I had this shit never moved it dropped it nothing. I did have a Xbox sitting on top of PS4 all this time maybe the weight of the Xbox pushed down on the PS4 ???, Anyone plz tell me what to do here disc goes in makes a clicking noise and won't read any discs the fan definitely is working it's just the disc issue so I think it's jammed maybe the rollers off track
Click on game and it's says to insert disk.. disk is in the system and does not let me eject the disk either. So it's not reading nor ejecting the disk. why could it be
Idk if mine is even spinning at all I just know it's shot it don't play any discs at all! And it makes a low stuck noise like it's not spinning or reader is not working right so it's fucked I can't open it I know nothing about any of it I'll make it worse I need to find someone that can fix it in my town and idk anyone do far I'm so upset I could prob fix it if I could open it but I know I will make it worse
I bought a PS4 that was extremely dusty, and it was a smoker's PS4, so the whole thing was gunked up. I started with spraying the dust out of everything.

How do you clean it
@@juliosanchez5210 alcohol and cuetip then let air dry
what blue ray drive did you use? i’ve tried everything and nothing works so i think i just need a new blue ray drive.
Does tbis happen to a specific disc because my nfs heat works fine spider man miles morals doesnt
My ps4 one day just stop taking game disk. It doesn't make the running noise to pull in disk. So i replaced the drive with a new one. It does samething. No running noise to pull in game.. Is there anything else that could went out that controls the game drive . Thanks
What's the Amazon link for the blue ray drive?
my pvz gw2 works for about a minute and then says disk cannot be read, it sucks, I used to play this game all the time and I guess it's unplayable now. I tried rebuilding the database, restarting it, and even factory reset, still doesn't work. all the other disks work perfectly fine.
Thanks for the video! Like and subbed
I wish you lived near me I really need your help I'm in Hudson valley new York .do u know anyone out this way ?

This is a question. I am fourteen and when I put in a disc it doesn’t make any sound. What does that mean? And how would I be able to fix it? (If I’m not an adult that is smart) 😪
I’m having same issue please tell me what to do if u knew
Replace drive wym duhh.
This is a question too
I got fifa 18 like 3 years ago for my PS4. Whenever I put it in my PS4 it says “cannot read” and sometimes it works but everytime an error occurs in the same part. Any help pls?
Hello and good day bro what country you from??
My problem is that it reads dvds but not bluray disc. So is it the blue ray drive or just the lens
My Ps4 reads the Discs perfectly
At least the most😅
When i put Dying Light and Horizon Zero Dawn in it says non recognized Disc. I put the Game out put a different Game in. It works. I put Dying Light or Horizon Zero Dawn in. Non recognized Disc😭 . It's just with these two Games. All my other Games work. The Discs are not dirty or have any Scratches. What the Hell is going on?
How do u know wat laser replacement to buy?
I turned the console on its side inserted the disk and now it works. Best thing it was free.
Hi my PlayStation won’t like turn the game on when i have the disc in it is saying copy application turn disc in I appreciate if help me
I'm looking to buy a second ps4 and it's my brothers second one, he says the disc reader has issues, it doesn't read some of the time. Would you say that it's going bad or there's something that can fix it

How do I send you my ps4 to get fix my fix won’t work or read take mad long to load I have try everything I being buying game online to play cause all the game dic I got won’t work I refuse to give up on this ps4
I was wanting to know about the eject button I put my PS4 on it's bottom end and my game keeps spitting out the disc help me sir if you can!
Mine reads them momentarily. But then it cuts to a screen stating it cannot read the disc. Supposedly the disc is damaged. But they're in excellent condition and have been read in their state flawlessly in a previous PS4.
Mine has been doing the same thing did you get yours fixed?
@@blakeshoup9946 yes, surprisingly a strange act I came across when a newly purchased PS4 was not working. You literally have to stand on the PS4, weird, but this is the second one (though used condition) I did it and boom! No longer did I receive the message. Even though the disc has some scratches, it never came on again. Just stand lightly, not add a good amount of weight while stepping on it, just try to be careful around the area where the HDD is, not that again it ever affected it.
@@rubens.4116 weird fix but i’ll try it!
@@blakeshoup9946 even I couldn't believe it when I saw the dude showing it do it. Tried it immediately and my PS4 was alive again. The recent one had the disc read problem, did it and never had a problem. I also blew into the disc drive, even though best thing you might have to do is clean the laser in the disc drive.
My ps4 has problems with the disc feeding in and out and not only that when does feed in the game won’t show up?
Hi my ps4 original takes discs lazer does grinding noise then discs come out all marked
Right
Bro my disc wont read mine i have small ps4 and in only 13 year old i live at Louisiana there is no way is gonna be fix r.i.p slim ps4 can u help me
*BLOOD BATH WTF YOU DOING ON THIS PAGE YOU ALWAY GONNA BE HOOD GAMING BRO AKA BENJAMIN LINAS* 😒😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL 😂😂
Thank you for helping me bro i guess i’ll buy the digital version i tried all my discs it didnt work so that sucks
Bro how much do you charge for this???? I can't do this myself. I can't afford too much. I just wanna be able to use my PS4 man.
My boy hood gaming tv 😭😭 my p4 trippin and I ran across this shit
Said the same shit like I know this nigga from somewhere 😂😂
The real trick is, right when you insert the disc just tap in the middle of the disc area LIGHTLY and it should help the ps4 to read the disc.
It will be hard at first but never give up.
Gradually the ps4 will be eaiser to handle and it will occasionally work on it's own.
Another method is to just flip the ps4 on its side but I just use the tapping method.
I've done this for 2 years now and it was rough and hard at first but just keep trying and put the disc back out and in again.
When you say flip on its side do you mean stand it vertically or horizontally? As mine has lived vertically for 4 years and has started to struggle reading discs the last few months, just read your comment and thought great Ill try lying it down on its side, but then wondered which way you consider on its side?
But I will try lightly touching the middle of the disc area to see if that helps
EDIT: I havent tried turning it over yet but did try tapping the top of the disc area and heard it spin up first time, thanks! With it struggling for a while now and me sometimes sat there for 15-20 minutes ejecting and re-inserting until it reads and spins up, hearing that sound as the disc spins up feels like a little lottery win
@@Fromatic yes, its very slow at the start but it will get better. I also ment putting the ps4 vertically but if you already have done that the just go with the tapping "solution". Otherwise putting it on its side vertically did help me
@@nebula70 should i tap with the upper cover on it or should i remove the upper cover and keep tapping or just tap once? Reply plz
like keep tapping or just apply pressure?
Thank u so much bro u saved me
Do you still fix these or no
How much do you charge to fix a ps4 or ps2

Is the same thing wrong with mine as this one
mine keeps making this clicking noise when I put it in, I don't get any error message, it just doesn't recognise the CD as if nothing was there, can anyone help me with this?
slap the top of it sort of lightly but with a little bit of force while it's trying to register and making that noise. And slap it quite fast, I know it sounds crazy but it works for mine
I have a ps4 limited edition camo and it does not pop open in the middle. What can i do?
What if it read other games but one game it won’t a pushes it out even if I don’t have scratches
My ps4 won't read games or movies and I am just asking to see if you could tell me what's wrong with it
so to fix you yourself you must have another laser disc and the right screwdriver to takebit apart and replace it.
How do you know when a laser is bad or a drive is bad ?! I don't know wtf is happening Because I never ever place discs I been playing game downloads only from the beginning I played maybe 5 discs in the 6 years I had this shit never moved it dropped it nothing. I did have a Xbox sitting on top of PS4 all this time maybe the weight of the Xbox pushed down on the PS4 ???, Anyone plz tell me what to do here disc goes in makes a clicking noise and won't read any discs the fan definitely is working it's just the disc issue so I think it's jammed maybe the rollers off track
Click on game and it's says to insert disk.. disk is in the system and does not let me eject the disk either. So it's not reading nor ejecting the disk. why could it be
I have a first gen ps4 is the kem 490 wat i need to fix the same problem
