I know this video is several months old, but after taking apart my optical/disc drive about 10 times trying to fix it (after my toddler jammed something in there) the missing ingredient for me was making sure the gear slider was in the “disc ejected” position. My gears kept jamming because I had no idea there was a certain starting position that slider needed to be in, I assumed the system would know and adjust to default accordingly. This video saved my PS5! Thanks, man!
Does this mean you could just use the hole on the outside of the disc drive to manually crank the disc out? Without having to disassemble the whole drive?
@@abanieleahk I actually have an update on this! I used tape to hold those black disc drive flaps open and looked inside with a flashlight. Then I eventually noticed a weird copper piece on what would be the bottom/right side of the disc drive (depending on if you're looking at it upright/sideways). Anyway, I noticed it wasn't a real part of the disc drive. It was an aquarium souvenir smashed penny that had gone missing a while before. I laid on the floor next to the sofa and propped the console on the cushion above my head (so that, if the penny came loose, it would fall OUT, not deeper inside the PS5). Got it out and didn't have to pay a huge fee or take my PS5 apart! I hope this works for you! (Don't forget to take the tape back off after lol)
For anyone watching - before you take apart your console, try a system update in safe mode(hold power button). I couldn’t insert discs and was beginning to open the system up but turns out the issue wasn’t hardware related. *Even if the PS5 in regular mode says you’re up to date, still check in safe mode.
I had this same issue on my ps5. It happened after manually ejecting a game, which I was doing to fix vibrations in the drive (a process recommended by sony on their website). After ejecting the game I plugged in the system and tried to insert it. It didnt go in and made some nasty sounds. I believe this happened because I didnt turn the system on first, or when ejecting the disk i didnt go far enough with the screw before pulling the disk out. Following your video, I was able to fix the problem and my drive works again. Another thing of note is the magnetic spindle was stuck down when it should have been popped up, so I had to pop that up myself. I was able to pop it up by taking the chassis off like in the video, but playing around with the gears caused it to get stuck again. I found out if you turn the manual eject screw while there is no disk in the system the spindle will get stuck in the down position and the wedge/lever is not strong enough to pop it back out. If anyone is having this problem make sure you do not move the manual eject screw after realigning the gears.
@@PotNoodle33 Its still noisy after fixing it sadly. I've discovered that some of the PS5 disk drives are just noisy and you can't do anything to make it more quiet. The issue I had was the gears came out of place when trying to make the drive more quiet. Thankfully I was able to fix it. That's all I can remember.
Changed out a laser and didnt realise i had flicked that piece up and it wasnt spinning anymore when it was prior. Jumped out of bed at 1am to go check. It worked! Thank you!
my nephew has a brand new ps5 out of the box and it's not letting me insert the disc at all inside the disc drive. trying to shove it in and still not working. brand new ps5. please help!!!
10/10 I will leave my comment in spanglish (you can translate if you want): Issue #1: Cuando prendía la PS5 hacía un ruido fuerte y raro, como si quisiera sacar un disco (cuando no había nada adentro) Issue #2: No dejaba meter un disco, como si hubiera un disco adentro (trataba de meterlo a la fuerza y se quedaba atorado a la mitad) Tools: Ifix que compré en Amazon, un estuche con un mango y como 20 cabezas diferentes, costó como 15 dólares Problem: Cuando desarmé la PS5 el engrane estaba a la mitad... lo liberé como lo menciona en el video y problema resuelto, ahora no hace ruido al encender, acepta y lee los discos. THANKS A LOT!!
Thnx ..just after the first few sec of your video I noticed what I was doing wrong,and it solved all my "set up" problems it was giving me. The biggest one was I noticed you inserting the disc and I realized I was putting it in upsidedown!!😅
Thank you sir you are the best! I just got my box to return my PS5 and found your video before I packed it and your fix worked 100 percent! Thank you!!!
I have eject problem in just vertical position 10% of the time when i eject disc it get stuck But in horizontal works fine Is it worth to send it for repair ?
Thank you so much. The oddest thing happened when I open the two cover of the PS5. When I began to unscrew the disk part I barely fully turn the screw but just a small twist & all of a sudden I heard something slide back in place & I was like hold on this thing did not just slide back before I even began & soon as I turn the ps5 on & inserted the disk it grabbed it & I was like phew I was saved because I am a new PS5 owner & know so little about this console other than how to open the cover correctly. Anyway thanks for the guide. Ps they were mean for making it harder to do our own repairs lol.
I tried every thing but still disk is not recognizing, I change the whole disk player from another ps5 which is working, still same issue, than I changed the small board of the disk same problem, nothing works for me, Do you have any Idea what it could be? Thank you in advance
I've been fighting with this disk drive for about 3 days now trying everything under the sun I thought the gear had to be touching the teeth in the track. I haven't tried this yet I'm going to right now, you might have just saved the day and quite possibly the entire month will update shortly
Thnx for the video bro!! Ever since I bought the new covers for my ps5; I have a problem ejecting my disk. I always gotta remove the bottom cover to take the disk out. This never happened before until I recently had new covers .
First off shot out to this great man for his dedicated work I did everything you did and fixed my drive I can't thank you enough my friend I'm giving you a follow up 💯 🔥
I bought my ps5 from a friend and it makes a rattling noise every time I turn it on, won’t accept disks and I don’t know if there is a disk stuck in it, I think there’s somthing wrong with the disk drive but I’m not tryna break my console by messing somthing up. Any suggestions?
Same here I literally just got it out the box I noticed unplugging it helped it work but to have to unplug and replug it back into just eject a disc is crazy I may have to take it back and try another if keeps up , I was hoping to be able to play without internet connection in a new house and no internet just built , using a hotspot to do software update then home to be able to play without internet any way good luck hope you can get yours worked out or returned and get another that works , my new Xbox had same issue it’s almost like they don’t want us using discs idk whats up lately everything I’ve bought new is not working right or built like crap
Hi, I did everything in your video, from unscrewing to cleaning, cleaned the rollers, put them back on and adjusting the lever etc however when I test it, it still won’t accept the disc. It seems that the roller won’t budge. This is my problem now and I don’t know what caused it. Before I can still insert disc and it will say unrecognizable disc. Then I play a downloaded game from PS Plus(like a warmup game), insert the disc, and it will read and I can start playing. Now, all of a sudden, can’t insert disc anymore that’s why I followed your video. Any additional pointers/suggestions please?
Not sure if you still have this issue or if this will help you but what I did when I took it all apart in the drive was put a little tiny tiny small amount of Grease or even WD-40 with a toothpick or a Q-tip and just put it on the gears and the rollers but not enough that it's wet just a tiny bit to lube it up so they spend easily freely and smoothly it worked for me just remember don't get it on the lens and don't pour it directly on just use it cotton swab or something
hey everyone. I recently got my new ps5! I'm super excited to have one, I have bought the ps5 disc edition. my first few days of having it was amazing! I got my favorite games on it and they ran perfectly! On the 5th day of having it, my first disc game arrived! it is the new AFL 23, since I'm Australian and a fan of AFL, my ps5 is booted up and running, I take out the disc from the cover, and I put the disc print facing left, as I heard on videos. the disc just does not go in, I thought most PS5s just suck up the disc and it's meant to work? I was talking to one of my mates that came to my house today, and he says there's foam blocking the way of the disc, which could be true but I do see the cut bit for the disc to go in, he said maybe they forgot to take it off in production, however, I took out the side panel and I could see they glued it down meaning it should stay there to protect the disc drive, ill send a picture of it. but when I boot up my ps5 and it makes the first noises, I'm able to put in the disc perfectly fine, however, my ps5 can't read the disc. A disc can be mildly forced into the disc, but it's not on far enough so it doesn't read. i have my ps5 in the Horizontal position but I tried vertical and that didn't fix anything either. im hoping this is a self fixable matter because i don't want to go to a shop to fix it. I hope I get a response that works as I'm eager to play the game. thanks and goodbye
Hello I disassembled it to remove the disco. Put it back together. It takes and ejects the cd’s perfectly but it’s not reading. Getting message to insert the disc. Note, I didn’t touch or tamper the lens. Removed the two small (forgot their names, the flat ones)cables without ripping and the small plug cable and put them back on.
Ive not taken out the game in about a month. CoD and it just randomly said unable to read the disc and ejected it. Discs go in fine and i can eject them so i'm not sure what the issue is
@@sonsofthepatriots8883 i dont get you!?! I should start in horizontal position? But my disc drive works perfectly in that... issue is that in vertical position while ejecting
Does doing any of this void my warranty? I have a 3 day old ps5. Every time i put in a disc it wont eject it without making a clicking/gear slipping noise and usually takes a few power on/off cycles to get it to eject. I just dont want to take it apart and look at the drive and try to figure it out if it makes my warranty smoke.
Update it's still not working however it is looking properly lined up now so I'm one step closer but for some reason it won't suck the disc into the system it'll power on but it won't suck in the disc could this be the motor that turns the gears I can't imagine that burning out but I can't think of any other reason why it doesn't power on to suck in the disc also I kind of greased up the rollers thinking it would be smoother and then I found out that they're supposed to be a little bit sticky to pull the disc but still that wouldn't explain the motors not turning on or any sounds any ideas brother? I'll probably try three or four more times and then after that I'll just give this console away to somebody I dislike and let them deal with the stress
Mine didn't take disk and doesn't beep3 times.. Ever. Only one beep. Plus when powered up it only makes a tiny noise, doesn't seem like it's fully initiating..I bought console from some hack, and the Blu-ray case is dented.. Trying to fix
Hello, i have issues where disc while inserting goes really slow in vertical sometimes to the point it gets stuck halfway and drive works rly loud however for some reason if i blow into the disc drive the disc would go smooth once again and it would stay that way if i put it horizontal but as soon as i changd to vertical again after some time the disc would go rly slow again. What could be the cause of that i doubt its big issue since blowing temporary solves it....
Thank you so much that helped me fixed the disc drive to my ps5 and now I can finally play my games and also it was making that funny noise right after I eject the disc and that also fixes the problem too
This is some bs my son got ps5 less than 2 weeks ago was able to just buy game disc Spiderman 2 and well it won't take disc the eject button doesn't make a sound and the disc won't insert itself? What can I do besides ripping console apart?
@@mexicoynumerosgematriascri7220 it took me a second and I had my old lady help me for some reason you have download the disc drive before you put disc in. I couldn't figure what was wrong but I had wi-fi hooked up but that was first game I got him and it works now idk why you have to do so much now and days
Hey guys yes i have a question regarding the PS5. Mine skips and freezes when playing a dvd is this a console issue or disc issue it only so farr seems to do it with 1 dvd what should i do ?
I have a problem when I insert/eject disk, I have a crunch sound. I don't find the problem..... I respect all informations in your video and I don't find....
Mine accepts discs but won’t read any, it says unreadable disc every time even though I’m using my old ps4 games which aren’t dirty or damaged, what should I do? 😢
Update 27/08/21: after 5 days from the receiving I had the same problem with the white component, with also the first spring inside the cd drive that go out from the place.
Just what i needed to see, my ps5 is kind a little bit slow to swallow the disc and ejecting the. disc kind slow too with a little noise it wasn’t like that a month a go. but it only happens once in a while, wish i can open my ps5 goid as u
I accidentally took off the thing that holds the rollers i cant figure out how the spring on the left is supposed to be positioned something isnt lining up properly can anyone help with this or the guy who made the video please help with this
Mine doesn’t pull the game in all the way it’ll pull the game but I can still see a bit of the disc not fully in so it just make a loud noise and just doesn’t read the game
I just got one a month ago and the DVD drive is already not working. A disc got stuck in it and when I restarted it , it ejected itself. Now it won't accept a disc at all, acting like there's already one in there.
@@swagkidm10 they received it on the 4th, so it's been 2 weeks. They said 7 to 10 business days so perhaps technically it's been 10 weekdays. 11 really cause FedEx showed they delivered it the day before SEI says it received it. Probably took a day to scan the truckload of broken garbage they get in a day. I wonder what percent of ps5s have come back to then or had to be repaired by a third party? Even still I am excited to get it back and in full working order. I've had a wonderful experience with my PS4 pro. I'm looking for that in the 5. So far we aren't off to a great start. Why don't they drop the discs all together and let people port
I took mine to a place that says they can fix it, they simply tried to replace the disc drive, claimed that the console was bad. I won’t be selling it to them, because I’m sure that’s why they couldn’t fix it. If it’s broken, and they cannot fix it, then they can buy it from me for cheap, and then sell it to someone else for more.
Mine won't read any disc's it'll accept a disc nothing happens then i eject it then it just won't even let you put a disc in at all you'll have to turn it off and back on
Hi, I am having an issue with my disc drive as well and an issue with my software update. It keeps giving me this error su-101312-8. I don’t know if the two are linked in any way but my ps5 isn’t taking in my discs as well. It isn’t installing the update either. Whenever I try is always gives me this error and says something went wrong. Any help with this?
I have this EXACT same issue and error code. I have tried to disassemble the optical drive and ensure everything is in functioning order according to this video mechanically. It seems I’m not getting power though, as my drive doesn’t even want to take the disk. The software also won’t update because I think the system needs to recognize that the drive is there and working to update the system software. I’ve literally been stuck in this loop for a couple months now and Sony has no clue. Of course, launch model so out of warranty. I’m considering trying to get some new ribbon cables or trying a new optical drive altogether, but if ANYONE finds a fix for this PLEASE share!!!
Sounds like there's another disc stuck in there it can't read. It will normally only say "unreadable disc, check of the disc is dirty" if it's trying to read something thats in there.
I had similar problem my discs just wouldn’t eject so I tried to fix it, took apart and everything thought I fixed it but now it just won’t take the disc at all
I’m having issue with my ps4 when ever I try to update my system software it gives me error ce-35888-2 my disc drive don’t work either but I just wann get my ps4 updated plz make video to fix the problem
I have the exact same issue. Except I followed every step and made sure that lever is all the way back but I’m still not getting any activity from the drive
I suspect that my problem with the drive is that my gear (as in your video timing 6:44) fell from an even space onto the teeth and therefore the ps5 drive "thinks" that the disc is in the console's drive and starts to rotate these rollers, although the disc it doesn’t have it. Help me figure it out please
I Remember when HD dvd came out and also Blue-ray and Blue ray won the battle so there was no more HD DVD but what if HD dvd won the battle and no Blue-ray, I know this was off topic sorry

I'll probably try three or four more times and then after that I'll just give this console away to somebody I dislike and let them deal with the stress
Mine didn't take disk and doesn't beep3 times.. Ever. Only one beep. Plus when powered up it only makes a tiny noise, doesn't seem like it's fully initiating..I bought console from some hack, and the Blu-ray case is dented.. Trying to fix
Hello, i have issues where disc while inserting goes really slow in vertical sometimes to the point it gets stuck halfway and drive works rly loud however for some reason if i blow into the disc drive the disc would go smooth once again and it would stay that way if i put it horizontal but as soon as i changd to vertical again after some time the disc would go rly slow again. What could be the cause of that i doubt its big issue since blowing temporary solves it....
what did you end up doing to solve the issue i may have somethung similar
@@davidhall2347 no just out of curiosity asking
Thank you so much that helped me fixed the disc drive to my ps5 and now I can finally play my games and also it was making that funny noise right after I eject the disc and that also fixes the problem too
This is some bs my son got ps5 less than 2 weeks ago was able to just buy game disc Spiderman 2 and well it won't take disc the eject button doesn't make a sound and the disc won't insert itself? What can I do besides ripping console apart?
same happened to me
@@mexicoynumerosgematriascri7220 it took me a second and I had my old lady help me for some reason you have download the disc drive before you put disc in. I couldn't figure what was wrong but I had wi-fi hooked up but that was first game I got him and it works now idk why you have to do so much now and days
Hey guys yes i have a question regarding the PS5. Mine skips and freezes when playing a dvd is this a console issue or disc issue it only so farr seems to do it with 1 dvd what should i do ?
I have a problem when I insert/eject disk, I have a crunch sound. I don't find the problem.....
I respect all informations in your video and I don't find....
Mine accepts discs but won’t read any, it says unreadable disc every time even though I’m using my old ps4 games which aren’t dirty or damaged, what should I do? 😢
hey, did you figure it out? I have the same problem.
Bro my ps5 broke. When I put in a disc the eject then put it back in it will not work and when i put it in the first it will not read
Tried it and is not working..is it safe to try and fix it with the ps5 on?

I accidentally took off the thing that holds the rollers i cant figure out how the spring on the left is supposed to be positioned something isnt lining up properly can anyone help with this or the guy who made the video please help with this
Was very helpful. I needed this💯
What if my ps5 doesn’t even beep when I press the eject button?
Mine doesn’t pull the game in all the way it’ll pull the game but I can still see a bit of the disc not fully in so it just make a loud noise and just doesn’t read the game
my ps5 turns off when i insert disc;
any solutions?
Wont this mess up your warranty ?
So if there is a disk stuck inside there is no possible way it will take another disk ?
you can open it, on the drive use a small phillips screw driver to break the black sticker and you can turn it to manually eject the disc.
Thank you so much you helped me solve a headache I had on an optical drive
Easy repair 😳 Yeah.. thanks
no kidding
Awesome, worked first try. Thanks
Its not that hard
it’s not easy lol
does anyone know how to fix my disc drive, it wont stop trying to eject discs every 15-20 seconds regardless if theres a disc inside or not?
I just got one a month ago and the DVD drive is already not working. A disc got stuck in it and when I restarted it , it ejected itself. Now it won't accept a disc at all, acting like there's already one in there.
I can fix it

Sony is fixing/replacing it now. The update wouldn't finish and I think it's because it thinks a disc is in the drive.
@@BrewmasterN8 How long did it taje to fix bro? Mine doesn’t read any of my games and it makes some funky scary noises smh Calling tomorrow
@@swagkidm10 they received it on the 4th, so it's been 2 weeks. They said 7 to 10 business days so perhaps technically it's been 10 weekdays. 11 really cause FedEx showed they delivered it the day before SEI says it received it. Probably took a day to scan the truckload of broken garbage they get in a day. I wonder what percent of ps5s have come back to then or had to be repaired by a third party? Even still I am excited to get it back and in full working order. I've had a wonderful experience with my PS4 pro. I'm looking for that in the 5. So far we aren't off to a great start. Why don't they drop the discs all together and let people port
I took the disc off now I don’t know how to put the thing back every time I put this back in it’s not going in 😢😢😢
I took mine to a place that says they can fix it, they simply tried to replace the disc drive, claimed that the console was bad. I won’t be selling it to them, because I’m sure that’s why they couldn’t fix it. If it’s broken, and they cannot fix it, then they can buy it from me for cheap, and then sell it to someone else for more.
Theoretically you could just lift the hand up or push it with a disk until it clicks...

Smart man. 👍 very impressive
Hi, I am having an issue with my disc drive as well and an issue with my software update. It keeps giving me this error su-101312-8. I don’t know if the two are linked in any way but my ps5 isn’t taking in my discs as well. It isn’t installing the update either. Whenever I try is always gives me this error and says something went wrong. Any help with this?
I have this EXACT same issue and error code. I have tried to disassemble the optical drive and ensure everything is in functioning order according to this video mechanically. It seems I’m not getting power though, as my drive doesn’t even want to take the disk. The software also won’t update because I think the system needs to recognize that the drive is there and working to update the system software. I’ve literally been stuck in this loop for a couple months now and Sony has no clue. Of course, launch model so out of warranty.
I’m considering trying to get some new ribbon cables or trying a new optical drive altogether, but if ANYONE finds a fix for this PLEASE share!!!
Mines won't take a disc says there's a dirty disc in there and sounds like a weed Wacker when I press eject plz help
Sounds like there's another disc stuck in there it can't read. It will normally only say "unreadable disc, check of the disc is dirty" if it's trying to read something thats in there.
@danwilkinson3884 I fixed it disc drive was cracked in half
What kinda bit is that?
Mine I’ll put the disc in and it’ll slow down or just get stuck
I did what you did, now just the "rollers" won't go down to let the disk in.. If it's not one problem it's another lol
My ps5 been broke for like 9 months. This video helped me fix the problem. Thank you

@@gogamers7970 what tool or tools do i need to take it off
Same here...not working
I suspect that my problem with the drive is that my gear (as in your video timing 6:44) fell from an even space onto the teeth and therefore the ps5 drive "thinks" that the disc is in the console's drive and starts to rotate these rollers, although the disc it doesn’t have it. Help me figure it out please
Thanks a bunch.
I Remember when HD dvd came out and also Blue-ray and Blue ray won the battle so there was no more HD DVD but what if HD dvd won the battle and no Blue-ray, I know this was off topic sorry
