My regular OG PS4 couldn't update 10.50, it turned out to be completely related to the power supply or the ribbon underneath as stated in this video. I had cleaned it out myself a few months back and I guess I didn't properly reconnect it. Thank you for the suggestion as I am now able to play online again!
@rickcatley4487 It would start up normally so I wouldn't know if it were fixed unless I tried starting up the game. I kept getting an error that mentioned that I needed to update the system software. I found out that the O.G. PS4 will not update as of now unless all parts are working properly as safety precaution. The optical drive cable that reads discs was not connected properly on my PS4 and was needed to be fixed before my PS4 could Update itself
@rickcatley4487 putting it in Safe Mode doesn't help or make it work. if your Ps4 has a Disc drive problem or a Fan not spinning problem, then it will not update until they are functional.
@@solidsnake2k7 basically my problem is whenever i turn it on it automatically goes into safe mode and there is a new hard drive in there and whenever i try reinstall system software an error comes up but im trying to fix it now ill update u
: Turn off and unplug your console. Turn off the router/modem, wait at least 5 minutes, and then turn the router/modem back on. Plug the console back in and turn it back on. Select Notifications from the PS4™ console function area, highlight the update file, press the OPTIONS button, and select Delete. Select Settings > System software update.
I had a console with a defected Blu-ray drive that presented the same error code when updating, it was booting straight to safe mode with all the options greyed out except option 7. I swapped the ribbon cable and BD from another working console and I installed a recovery update file 0.9Gb “ not the regular 465MB “ and it all went well. After the installation I swapped back the ribbon and BD and booted it up. It worked as well. I’m not sure if it’ll keep working forever or until the next update but for now it seems fine.
was getting the error on my PS4 and couldn't update. thought it was over but I searched and found this video! I replaced the strip inside and now it's working again! Definitely had to come back and show respect thanks I rly appreciate you for helping Big bro!! ❤
My ps4 has not had a disc reader for more than 1 year and I have never had problems updating it, now is it necessary to have a disc reader to update the PS4?
This works just go in your system unplug the ribbon and make sure it isn't dirty then wipe the shit completely and upload fresh from USB this worked for me Dec 1st 2021
Since Update 9.03 dropped i could not install the new Update on my PS4 Pro, because the update is checking on your optical disc drive and mine is not working. (I remember that it always worked before this update). Furthermore, I tried EVERYTHING to get this Update. Got into safe mode, rebuilt database, initialize my entire ps4 system, deleted and reinstall data on my Hard Disc drive, and even changed old optical disc drive with a new one. The Optical disc drive isnt taking any of my cds, although it should function ( If i click on the CD button next to the power button, this *beep beep* sound appears.) I even changed the ribbon cables (ribbon wires) that connect optical disc drive with the mainbord. I also tried uploading the update in the safemode by an usb flash drive and internet. So here is my question: PLEASE, Can somebody tell me how i can download this damn update without my optical disc drive?? Thanks
Man I am sorry for judging this video before I watched it. Once I saw the heat gun in the preview I was like “oh no” lol. I was getting that error and it turns out my disc drive cable wasn’t seated all the way. Previous guy broke the tabs on the cable so it doesn’t sit well. Thanks for the info!!
I'm going to check on it tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the problem. That plug was giving me hell trying to keep it in when I was reassembling
@@3ptrey927 have you disassembled? I have two torx screws smaller than the others. Idk where they go, all the assembly videos don't show the different screws being used
@@RS--ep3wt yeah, the error went away but I still have single Phillips head screw left over, which is better than the two I had before. I just ordered a new fan and hard drive so when I break it down again I hope to find the 2nd Phillips slot. There's only two Phillips screws between complete build and pre fan removal. There's more at fan removal but I can't find the spots where I'm at
Great video I bought a new disc drive ribbon for under $5 and replaced in just a few minutes and I have no idea what I’m doing but it worked no error code and my disc drive works again
Hii brother , actually accidentally once i broked that ribbon connector and now i am facing the update problem tbh . Please tell where i can find a new ribbon connector . Please 🙏

When you pull the ribbon cable out from under the power supply there’s like two little ears on the end going out on the left and right if I broke one of them off could that be why my disc drive isn’t working
I don't understand how, but this helped. My PS4 was working all along, and then the update came along and it couldn't install. I can't understand what the ribbon has to do with it, coz as I said it was working fine before the update. But I opened up my console, put it back together, and the update now installs. Thanks!

You shouldn't update it since the 9.00 jailbreak is out
