    These are some of the most common PS4 disc drive problems we see here. Have you ever had a disc drive problem on your PS4?

    I have the feeling that you would be doing these videos for free just because you're a decent human being but hopefully it's worth your time. I haven't needed any repairs but knowledge is power this goes a long way. Thank you

    I ordered parts for my PS4 pro that had the same issue and followed your guide and am very pleased to say that it was a 100% successful repair. Thanks Tronics Fix! Love your work.

    .... you don't "bend it back" in place, you do an engineering modification. 🤓

    Hello there. So .. I have purchased a faulty PS4 pro. The previous owner said the fault was that it did not read discs unless you “tap” the top o the console in a certain place and then it would work fine. I bought it and came home to test it. Sure enough exactly as described. The disc drive wouldn’t even spin until I tapped the top of the console and it worked and I could play it. I purchased a whole new drive from EBay and when it turned up, it looked slightly different and the biggest ribbon cable was slightly too short and there is no “see through” window like on the original drive so am in the process of sending this back. After watching this video I purchased the exact same laser brand new. It’s even in the same box that you have. However, the problem is worse than before after replacing. I don’t have to tap the console anymore except the drive starts to spin and then stops. It does this repeatedly and never spins right up. What did I do wrong? I don’t get it. Any advice would help! Thanks

    I think I have a laser issue, I've taken the console apart multiple times and nothing else seems to be a problem, yet it rarely spins the disk. Especially after watching this and seeing the Pro have my exact issue and easily be resolved, I'm fairly confident that's what it is. But I do not have the balls or technical know-how to go that in depth with my Slim😅

    This is the only video I've found that lets me see the parts under the plate and how they are supposed to be sitting. for people that have taken their drive apart and don't remember how those little plastic doodads go in there this is the best I have found so far. It doesn't show every part but it's as close as I've been able to find.

    Your videos on ps4 repair are amazing! Thank you for your awesome instruction!! So far, I am on the last step following PlayStation's advice for unreadable disc but after watching most of your vids on the matter, pretty sure the laser is dead!! Thanks again! Subbed

    I would love if you made a series taking apart different consoles not just to fix them but more of a tutorial because you explain everything so clearly like really old consoles to the new ones

    Thanks a lot for this - this was my first time repairing a PS4, and without your video, I would never have thought to check the steel plate, which did indeed have a slight buckle in it!
