In response to my previous "PS4 Disc Drive Fix" video, I would like to break down how to fix an issue that could also be causing your PS4 to not accept discs.
In this video, I will be showing you, step-by-step how to disengage a "barrier" that may be preventing you from inserting discs into your PS4.

Hi
But my Ps4 doesn't have the 3 initial screws in the back :/ .
Any other way?
i did it today and its still doing the same thing i tryed 3 times
I tried this and one of my rollers was up and the other was down, i don't know if it was supposed to be like that. I've tried fixing it but the left one just keeps popping back up and doesn't want to go back down and the right one won't budge it is always down.
I found that you don’t need to open the PS4 to fix this I turned it off and then I tried to put the disk in and it turned on PS4 and acsept Ed the disk
"Easy Fix"
*proceeds to take apart half of the system*
It actually very easy this video made it a breeze
Bruh
It is bro just that mines has two stars not three screws
I dont get it all you have to do is void your warranty, risk cutting cables, take it apart, and put it back together!

Didnt wnna do all this . Got pissed started slapping the shit out of it a coupletimes & it started accepting them again 😂😂🤣
Hilarious!!
I also did this and it worked lol
Wtf it actually worked
now i wonder why its broken! :'D
Seen people mocking his "easy fix", saw this and let's just say you should be getting paid rn😂😂😂
So my PS4 won’t take the disc and when I try to put it in it makes a grinding sound there is no disc in it
Same problem 😭😭
Yep same thing I clean my p4 and then this happened
I fixed it finally and its working again yay
I followed a video and i just had to tighten a single loose screw and it worked again
diana fox can u send me a link

Her you go and i hope this channel owner doesn’t mind me sharing this on here to help others
I tried all the methods gradually but trued the forth one the last and i worked
You don’t have to tighten the screw alot just twist few times And it worked
I'm about to try this your the only person who make sense
Happy to hear that, King Dyce! Thanks for the kind words. Let me know how it works for you!
I'd it work I'm going to try this but i dont have the tools lookig for them on local stores
Did it work?
@@tsumoryokai8581 naw it still won't take disc 📀 but I just pay online now instead plus the 5 will be out
69th like
It happens because you have to fully let the ps4 disc out when you stop hearing the sound of it coming out you can take it out but If you snatch it out before the sound stops the ps4 will get confused :)
Ok
Oh my god, Thank you sir.
@@igotbanned8372 did it work
@@Richofcardz no I said "Thanks" because it didn't, yeah it worked.
Ok I’ll never do that again 😂😂
So far this was the only way that "fixed" the disc drive issue, i did this method twice so far once while first-time cleaning my PS4 after 6 years (yes 6 years shocker😅) and today at 4:30 AM😂 thank you btw you saved my wallet from more holes😂
Thanks it worked for me. My 2 year old likes to put stuff in the drive. Tore it apart and found 46 cents and a clothing tag in there haha. Thanks again!
XD
LMAOOO
Ah ah 😌
no one wants to take apart of their console especially during the middle of the night
Be a man
I do! I just picked up red dead redemption and I want to play it nowwwww
Be a man
@@InsaneD602what do you think of the game my man?
@Martin Car it is pretty damn good lose a lot of hours playing it without realizing you just sat there for 10 hours
Easier fix:
Turn ps4 upside down and tap on the bottom of it. Flip over test to see if disc is accepted
No disassembly required xD
That is so cool, it worked for me. Would you know why though ???
I presume it has to do with the disc tray being level, the rollers for the tray and/or wear of the machinery that causes it to not accept discs. I've had this issue for a long time; after taking it apart and readjusting the tray I would still have issues with my discs. One day I was sitting here about to chuck my ps4 to the curb and I tried what I mentioned in the comment. It has worked every time for me with out fail since. My ps4 is from 2014 so it's pretty old it still gets the job done. XD
@@roniclayton9644 hmmm! Makes sense thank you for such a simple yet very helpful comment.
@@imranchandi0 much love my friend. :)
Ronnie Clayton wtf this actually works thx man
bro, this video helped me a lot man thank you so much, all these other videos didn't do such a good job at describing whats going on in the video so thank you and keep up the good work
Great video. Mines been doing this for almost a year now. Got it open only to find a movie my son musta put in there lol. Finally able to play my dark souls discs again. Thanks
Thanks! My kids haven't been able to play our PS4 for a couple months now and I had no idea what I was going to do. With this video I have it fixed and able to be used again. I was nervous the whole time but I am so happy I could fix it and it did not cost me hundreds of dollars. So thank you so much!
Your video has helped me a lot I found out that the problem I had was Pennies…..my son thought my PlayStation was a piggy bank 🙃
Thanks for this! I took apart my ps4, cleaned the disc drive, and then when I put it back together the disc drive was doing weird stuff, so I folowed your tutorial and i fixed it, thanks! I'll subscribe!
Holy crap. My gf got me my PS4 4 years ago. It had this problem for YEARS. I had this thing apart for YEARS. You figured out my problem! Thank you so so so so so so much!!!!
Great video, straight to the point... helped me to fix the issue I was having... thank a million.
I have a fix to add. If you've got an older model, where the plastic top cover comes off, slide it off, and about halfway up, above the hard drive is a little space. To the left of that, down in the vent area, there's a little screw. Give that a few turns counterclockwise with a thin philips screwdriver. It should reset the barrier and let discs go in again.
Thank you so much!
I just cleaned and replaced the thermal paste in my Brother's PS4, and as it was so dirty, I opened the disk drive to clean it as well..
But as I forgot to remove the disk before taking everything apart, I had this problem.
Thanks to you I fixed this in 5 minutes 🔥
This was the issue mine had. I got an ultra cheap ps4 that wouldn’t take discs, and when i opened it and reseated the rollers i thought everything looked fine. Going back in after watching made me see the problem. Thanks for making the video!
Had my PS4 in a closet for months. Brought it out for my kid’s 11th b-day (got him an external hd). Won’t take disc. Came here. Fixed it! Thanks bro
Thank you so much for your help. My issue was different. The ribbon wire under your finger at 3:48 was undone. Seeing your model was how i knew it wasnt supposed to look that way.
Not sure if anyone still watching this but the fix for the constant eject problem. It’s the eject button itself on the inside is not making contact properly. Take too and bottom covers off. When you slide the ps4 into the bottom cover take note to the little prong on the backside of the eject button. Press the little tab down to stretch out/make it springy again. Slide ps4 all the way in to the bottom cover now. Click the button see if you feel it clicking inside. If not remove and try again to adjust little tab, if it does click, plug it in turn it on and see if it takes and holds the disc. It took me hours to figure this out. Hope I helped save someone else’s time. :)
Actual easy fix: Hold the eject button for 10-15 seconds, and it should fix. If not, do it again and wait 5-10 seconds after you held it. (Might not be a permanent fix, but you can do it every time it doesn’t wanna accept the disc.) worked for me, I hope it works for you.
I’m gonna try this brb
Didn't work
Thankypu so much! I actually thought I broken my console aha. Only 1 of my rollers was on the other was off so needed to fix that but then i couldn't put disc in and found thus video and helped awesome man. Earned a sub and like!
Damn
Appreciate the help so much made it easy for everyday moms ❤️🙇🏽♀️

It’s a cold game
Cant wait for PS5. JESUS CHRIST
ANITABOWDEN27 right
Same I would buy a new PS4 but apparently ps5 is coming out in the final quarter of this year
Switch to xbox
@@fbuiafdf i had three dualshock 4 controllers and each one of them developed problems. The one broke after 1 month of use.
No more waiting it finaly here
It worked!!! Now my husband can stop crying about it! I believe ours got this way from our toddler pushing the eject button and snatching the disc out over and over again. There was actually a disc stuck inside but I had no clue because it was not reading on the Home Screen… it just kept making that strange clicking noise whenever I tried to eject or put a disc in. Thank you for making this video!!!
Guys I have a fix, open the side piece that can be removed.
Put a little screw in the little hole on the side that lets you take out discs manually and just push the screw down while doing some circular motions. While you’re doing that try putting the disc in.
Going to try that. Mine has a different issue than what is seen in this video. My game will slide in but it will not grab it and pull it in like it use to.
@@VictorPoulin this could be more than likely because your rollers have lost their adhesiveness over time due to dust build-up. You can simply use some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, wipe them down, and when they dry, they should be sticky again.
MooseNukem I tried that and my PS4 is still not taking in discs what should I do?
MooseNukem what are rollers my are doing the same thing victor said it doesn’t pull it in when I slide it in now it’s just stuck there not fully inside
Where can I get a screw for the side it has to be thin
I would recommend trying to remove an existing disk before doing this. Even if existing disc is not in machine. I thought I had an existing disc stuck in my PlayStation 4. I looked up how to get that out and with my model there is a screw you turn counter-clockwise but there was no disc stuck. I continued to turn the screw for a few minutes and then put it back together and it worked after plugging it back in. The reason I bring this up is I would have gone through the headache of taking the entire PlayStation apart had I followed this guide and it wasn't necessary. That said this guide was my next step and this is a great guide. Don't get me wrong, I'm just saying there might be another solution before this is required.
im trying this rn cos the videos method is too long. didn’t know you had to be a f***ing IT technician to own a ps4
this works. thank you i was losing my mind with what i could have done wrong when i first disassembled it. I took the disc out when fixing the drive but didnt think about that white lock
Super easy fix, I greatly appreciate it!
That one screw on the bottom is giving me such a hard time ive Been trying to take it out but I can’t please help
If you put the disc half way in and then carefully touch the eject button that should fix it👍😁
This actually helped me!
😁👍🤓
My friend : Bro its an easy fix
**The fix**
Very good video and I think this is exactly why I can not get games to go into the drive. As easy as you make this I am not if I have the stamina to actually do this myself and may just see what I have to do through sony to get my system fixed.
Happens to me the day Ragnarok comes out.. perfect
Worked great! Thank you :) I took apart my PS4 to clean it and put in new thermal paste. After that, the disc drive would try ejecting a disc that wasn't there about every 10 seconds. After powering down for 20 minutes, tried again but this time it was as if the drive died. After following your instructions, I adjusted the screw while it was opened up and reset the barrier. That did the trick! Thanks again :)
Same thing happened to me i was renewing the thermal paste and cleaning the fan , and suddenly my disc drive dosent want to accept discs , and the eject button dosent make any sound when i touch it , what screw was that you rewinded what can i do to fix this issue ? Because the ps4 works perfectly everything is smoother and faster kinda but only the disc drive is become a problem now
@@FunnyVideos.11-o4zit's been a while since i worked on this but if I remember correctly, there is a little plastic adjustment screw in the left side of the drive for adjusting the mechanism that pulls the disc in.
Thx Sergeant! Followed your vids, top class, my PS4 won't take discs, the white clip was already all the way back, I also saw your video concerning the rollers, my rollers are fine but my PS4 will still not take discs. I cleaned all and removed all the dust that I could find, cleaned the fan with my vacuum cleaner. I have tried all other tips online. Thx again ang big respect for your great videos and work.
Thanks for the info fixed my issue and I'm playing again
Thank you
I usually take mine apart to clean, but I’ve not had a problem with the disc drive till recently. Don’t know how I fixed it but I fixed it. Wasn’t the cover but the video helped me determine what the issue was. Ty
Here’s my Easy fix: might have been lucky but here we go. I held the disc eject button until I heard the rollers stop. Which was about 10-15 seconds. Once I did that I heard the rollers make the sound when a disc is going in so I inserted my disc and boom it worked no issues since. Idk if this works for anybody else but it’s worth a shot especially for you don’t have the capability to disassemble your console.
Bro, you are a f’n genius.. I tried your idea and it fixed the problem.. 🍻 on me
I hear it start to make the noise, but then it stops. Any ideas? It’s pretty much all I use to entertain my self.
Thank you! I did a thorough cleaning and change of thermal paste of my ps4 cuh version and when i did clean the disc drive there’s a game that i haven’t removed. I thought i had messed something up but this video is a perfect demonstration for what had happened. Thank you for also showing it with a disc and removing it. It’s new years and i thought i wouldnt be able to play any games lol
Just took it all apart.. The lip was already down ;(
Thank you for bringing me to the conclusion of taking it somewhere to get it fixed
😅 I literally like teardown my console 5 time but didn't fixed my problem but watching your video sure help a lot.... Thanks
I fixed my PlayStation thanks to your video thank you so much pal !!!!!
You legend. Very easy to follow video. 10/10 will watch again
I had disc get stuck in there due to crack in the middle hole and the ps4 not wanting to spit it out anymore.
Great video and easy to follow. Thanx for the save
I love you man can finally game again thnx 💪🏻
I fixed it by inserting a folded paper in until I heard the noise it makes when you insert a disk and then I quickly took the paper out and put the disk in and it worked.
Omg you are a genius! Just did this and it worked!!!! Thank you!
Thanks to you, I was able to resolve my issue.
Which surprisingly was on the rollers who needed to be clean with alcohol only
Thank you !! I finally have my PS4 up and running .. she had been missed 😢 😆🥰
Is she still running?
@@sleeze8935 yeah running still :)
So, I did this step by step and now my eject button doesnt respond or even beep when pressed. (And discs still aren't being accepted).
I can force them in but id rather not do that and risk a stuck game. I just want the console to accept the disc inside as it normally should
This is exactly my problem. Tell me you found a fix
I’m having the same problem. Took the console apart, removed the plastic button for eject and repositioned it. That fixed that issue. The one thing I could t do is fix the drive…yet
same problem, white plastic was in correct position when dissasembled ,
wont accept disc even after assemble, and even worse it doesnt beep eject button.
any solutions?
Appreciate the tutorial workled perfect . Putting that small connection back in under the greeen panel was a bit tricky i had to take off silver plate and lift the green panel to click it in was a bit stiff , but all went back together in the end and it was success. Cheers
This worked for me thanks bro. 💯
Hey man my t8 hexagon screw driver isn’t fitting in the ps4 screws what do I do
I did everything in the video but when i got to the lip part it was already up. so i don't know.. But thank you for the video,
Did u fix in the end
did u fix it ,bcs i didnt
Update tried this now my PS4 home screen looks like an Xbox home screen
XD
Lmao
I assembled and disassembled 4 times trying to find what’s wrong but it still won’t accept the disk I’ve even cleaned the inside help
Thnx i didnt even have to push up i heard a click and it fixed....of course after I pulled it all apart but thnx for the video✌🏼
This was not my issue. My issue was the laser bridge didn’t know where it was. So when I put in the disc. It would say disk unrecognized. All I did (followed your instructions) but pushed the laser bridge back as it was all the way forward at the disk holder. Put er all back together. And it works. Thanks for the tips sarg!!
Once u said the ps4 thinks it has a disk. I turned it off unplugged it then tried the disk while it was booting. It worked. I'm still going invest in a tool kit
What about the ps4 bro cuz it looks way different from the inside
My PS4 had a disc stuck in it and we (my dad and me) manually ejected it and after that happened the PlayStation won’t take in any discs there is a barrier like u said. Will this also work for this and if anyone has had this problem in the past please tell me how you fixed it. Thx.
Zain Bashir same problem, have you solved it!!!!????!!!
Exact same problem here
Exact same issues here. Looks like we have to take it apart unfortunately. I've tried everything.
Mine just done the same took cover out cleaned it with hairdryer and dust brush now works absolutely fine
Great video, worked perfectly, thanks🤙
Thank you so much, bro. You saved my PS4 and even they are hard to find in the pandemic.
My PS4 wasn’t taking the disc, but when I opened it up, the white piece you pushed up was already locked in the up position so I cleaned the inside, removed and re installed the “rib bone” and the system worked, hopefully this helps someone with the same issue
I turned mine off and waited for the lights (obviously) and then unplugged it, waited a while (1-2 minutes), powered back on, signed into my account, put the disk in and it worked, I hope this helps anyone who might have this issue and isn’t tryna disassemble their game at 3 am
That's the exact same problem I've had with my PS4 and I've had it for many years recently it started doing that sometimes it won't recognize that I've put a game in I've tried using a disc cleaner to clean it when it does that but just a couple days ago it started getting to the point where it would act like it was still a game in there even though I knew there wasn't I'm glad I found this now I know what's going on and how to fix it thank you for making this video
idk if I have a different ps4 because mine only has one screw in the back and there's a metal dot in the middle of it so I can't screw it out
Bruuh when i was watching the video and was about to do the steps I just putted the disc in😂😂
It’s not putted it’s put
Juicy Games stfu
My PS4 isn’t the same as that one
It’s put
It's puta
Thanks man this really helped me alot
I have to take the hard drive out and use a screwdriver in the hole to insert a disc. It will eject just not accept
I don’t have the screws where you said
Mine started working as soon as you started the actual video🤪🤩😋
I watched this video and it worked !! 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼
This helped so much man I was trying to fix the not reading disc problem
uhh i just unplugged it and titled for a 15 seconds and it word
I just did it too and it worked!!
Thank you so much for this quick and easy direct to the point instructions! My ps4 phat is working flawlessly again!
I don't have 3 screws on the back of my ps4
foxy gamer 187, some models are slightly different than the one showcased in this video. May I ask what type of PS4 you're using? Is it a Pro perhaps?
@@SgtMoose it's the very first model
foxy gamer 187 that's the model I'm using in this video as well. There may be adhesive tape covering the screws. Beware though, as removing the tape will void your warranty if you have one.
Theres tape covering them
Thanks. This worked like a charm
You’re the best I got mine fixed. Thank you
Love you so much thanks this helped me so much bro
I was literally getting all my tools together with the worst mood to do this "easy repair" and ended up unplugging and plugging it back In and the "barrier" went back down and took my disk again 🙏🙏
I have the white light of death . Please help
Not only this didn’t work but it also made my ps4 start overheating so thanks👍
How
Nice one. 2 year old put a paper fake cd disc in. this helped get inside to fix it.
I just took my PS4 and blew into the disc holder and the DVD came right out that I had placed in
I watch this video and the attempt to fix my issue. I have a question though the white piece is already to the top, so how would I proceed?
WOW!!! Thank you SOOO much!! This helped a bunch!
Guys in my case it was a damaged cable from the disk drive power supply. It turned out that when I was cleaning my ps4, while assembling it back together I accidentally crushed this cable with the power supply unit from the console. Two of these four cables were broken inside, I checked it using a multimeter. I cut off these two cables at the place of crushing and soldered them together. That's how my disk drive came to life. So if you ever disassemble the your console it's worth checking out.
Thank you, i''ll try this and I hope you can answer my question if this didn't work
Hey I appreciate this video. My son had stuck my game card in the disk drive didn’t know until ejecting the disk I had in. So that’s when I had trouble putting the new game in. So now when I have time fix this. Thank you.
This isn’t really relevant to the video but does the time a ps4 takes to read a disc dependent on the games size
No
Amazing stuff! Cheers buddy
I fell bad for my ps4 it's been 6 years and ky father one time trow it so hard to the ground that his inside all bend and it's still working but the hard drive broke i replaced it and still going iam so happy my man still fighting and playing minecraft
OMG DUDE thank you so much for making this video i just saved 400 bucks
