I might be wrong but that little black piece that fell out, I think that is used to manually remove a stuck disc without dissembling the whole disc drive. 7:23, see the three main white cogs? Top of his left hand. Remove the top middle cog and that little black piece drops into the…. Reservoir(lack of a better term) that hangs off the left side. It connects with the white cog via gravity or when you engage it with a basic Phillips head. It will slowly engage the mechanism that moves the disc in and out of place. That is my best guess/explanation. If anyone else knows better please say so! So many people have been asking and trying to figure this thing out.
I love you. My disc drive got stuck with the black plastic barrier up, even though no disc was inserted. preventing me from introducing any other disc to play. thanks to your understanding of the mecanism i was able to solve it by turning those gears on the back.
hi james i was having a problem with my ps4 optical drive watch may videos on that but you video is by far the best the way you explained how the drive works helped me find the problem .thank you so much
I just fixed mine where there was a penny stuck on the magnetic part on the inside. The reason I found it was because of part 09:14-10:30 I didnt get the same result as you did. It got stuck at the end and did not lock onto the cd wich was the problem in my case. After I removed the penny the gears worked again and I could mannualy spin it! If it wasnt for this vid I would have probly bought a new BD-disc. Thank you very much
Thanks all these other people doing the disk drive fixes didn’t know what I needed, you did, I had a problem with the black thing in the slit for putting the disk in
I just wanted to say my ps4-slim was making all this clicking noise and not recognizing the any disk so I broke like you did found out one of the gears on mechanisms was missed aligned. Simple fix haven't had a problem since thanks. To the average gamer if you don't have patience this ain't for you only going to break something so take your time you'll be alright. Thanks again homie appreciate that man
For everyone wondering about the little black cog: it is the manual eject screw, and it goes in the little round slot directly beside the largest top-center white cog. It's not imperative for function, but since you've already had to take the drive apart once, probably a good idea to keep it in there. Check the video below to see it.
Any chance u can send me a pic of how that spring and black cog gear fit into the drive. Please... It just popped out and I know where it goes just not what way. Great vid too. Thanks
Complete disassembly is extremely excessive. You need to only remove the drive 4 security t8 and the topper(metal piece with the gears) and clean with alcohol prep pads ONLY avoiding contact with the laser lens, then using a qtip and pool silicone to lube the 2 slides and the step motor drive gear very light application though! Will solve your issues 99.9% of the time.
check his video at 8:16 the three gears, two smaller ones and the big one covering them both, that black gear is for the manual eject and it goes into the hole right under the middle gear. You can see it its right on the edge of the entire assembly at 8:16 half covered by the middle white gear. Hope that helps.
I have this exact problem! And it's with that same black piece that fell out at 8:26. I need to know where it goes!!! I think it's in the little slot next to the drive gears on the bottom side. But idk where the spring goes. HELP.
dustin wheeler where there are 3 large cogs on the part where the laze sits there is a small hole next to the bigger cog of the 3. you want it in there with the spine inside.
8:25 where the hell does that cog/gear with the spring go that you had dropped out. Mine dropped out and I have no idea where it came from! Anyone is able to help?

I just too mine apart to clean it. I heard something shot up the vacuum - wonder if it’s that little black gear that fell out of yours too? Will check vacuum bag. But also found a small spring on the bench - about as big as one in a clicker biro pen. Anyone any ideas?
I installed a new disc drive into my ps4 and every thing worked fine untill I switched the drive board and now the disc drive won't spin the discs anymore. It just makes a clicking sound and won't recognize any disc. I noticed when I move the big ribbon cabble a little bit that the disc starts spinning for a moment, but stops right after. Could you tell me which ribbon cable I have to repair?
Mine will not take disc. Motor makes no noise don't even attempt to turn gears. I took another fully functional drive placed in console it then takes disc fine. So i put the drive board that goes to the console on the working drive and then Same deal won't take disc. Laser jumps when i try to insert then nothing more?
Mine did the exact same thing. After my game (NieR: Automota) got stuck in the system I had got it out, but when I tried to put it back in it wouldn't even accept the disc or read it. It would just act like it wasn't aware. I'd say just get another PS4 system. But before doing that make sure you either transported all your save data to a USB flash drive or online storage
At 8:17 there is a view of the white cogs that are linked to the drivebelt and motor. Some cogs are secured by screws... does anyone know the size/specs of those screws?
Hey buddy during the video 8:25 a black small piece came out what did you do with that piece it also had a spring that fell with it do you know where it goes?
Yo dude very nice video.. where can i buy the drive tho? Only available from ebay or ? I'm from the Netherlands aswell and there is litterly noone selling any parts here.
Dude do you have any idea where to get a new magnet for the spindle? mine has wore out and it making a go awful noise and all i can find is buy the whole top cover
What I really want to know is where does that small black gear goes the one that fall off when you flipped the cd drive...that's actually my issue and why I came to see this video😅
Hi! I have a question: Is safe for the blu ray disc to keep it in the console PS4 drive? I don't want to walk the disc between the case and console. In plus, is hard to take out the disc from his steelcase.
Anyone happen to know where the black gear fell from? Mine ended up with out it whenever I last cleaned it and have been wondering if it is causing the eye to not read a disc at all. Not even a DVD. Already have cleaned the eye prior to it but this time didn't have the isopropyl alcohol to get it clean clean..
it should be close somewhere where there is an empty hole one the sides of the drive. the black thing is the turning screw. If not then idk wtf the thing is.
so what about an eject button that doesn't work? I can eject through software and it will insert and read disc properly. but when I push eject button it beeps three times, doesn't eject and forces me to do a software eject
Hello please help me so I cleaned my ps4 as usual but last time I opened the power supply and it was very dusty cleaned it with a blower and used a electronics cleaner and cleaned the top cover and the fan when I packed everything up the disc drive is not spinning and it makes ejecting sounds so I watched a tutorial on how to clean it and sprayed electronics cleaner and cleaned the laser and everything and did all possible solutions like software update and data rebuild ect... And it is still not spinning and gives me unregonized please help me
ummmmmmmmmm all Ima say is the power supply doesn't need to come out at all, and this video is labeled rebuild this was not a rebuild it was a fix by no means did you say you were a professional tho.
Anyone got a video on how to reassemble a PS4 slim pro 1 terabyte console anyone?? I need serious inquiries please folks someone get back to me I would sincerely appreciate it
richardill it's not really necessary it's used for the manual take out of the disc without having to take out the screws. It should be on the side of the panel in a empty hole.

The black small cog goes next to the big white cogs in the small hole and the springs face upwards. It is for manuel ejection !!
Mans took out his hard drive and his entire ps4 just to get to the disc drive
Awesome vid James.
