Sony provides fix for PS4 disc ejection problems

Console Monster writes: "A number of PlayStation 4 systems are suffering from disc ejection problems, according to Sony.

In a tutorial video, Sony detailed what console owners should do “if a PS4 system ejects discs unexpectedly” or “if a PS4 system beeps as if the eject button has been pressed when no disc is present”."

This actually happened to my first ps4. I traded it in with GameStop in May because they were doing some promotion and got the destiny white bundle instead. Glad they fixed it though. It was seriously annoying. It was like my ps4 was sick. It kept coughing

nveenio4145d ago

FINALLY. Official confirmation that I should send in my PS4. Bummed I have to do it, but oh well. I'll try to survive while it's gone. (Though I was hoping a software patch would have worked.)

hkgamer4145d ago

im guessing this is more widespread then what we previously thought?

can sony not just release a big patch to resolve all issues?

caseh4145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

The fix for many people is physical rather than software.

Issue happened to me about a week ago, takes about 30 seconds to correct it. :)

Just seen this in the article:

"If the above doesn’t work, PlayStation 4 system owners should arrange for their console to be serviced."

DON'T do this until you've tried the eject screw fix first as it is literally a 30 second fix. Else you're just sending your console off for absolutely no reason.

BISHOP-BRASIL4145d ago

Exactly! Although the total turn off thing works temporarily, if your probllem is the eject screw fit loose, it will come back. But, at least for me, as soon as I tightned that screw it never happened again (it's been some 3 months).

I don't know if they don't tight it properly on factory or if it gets loose when the console is moved around (in shipping) as it's not ever supposed to be super tight, but anyway, apparently the screw being loose mess up with the disc bay sensor. I believe that make it "think" there's a disc inside you're trying to manually eject, hence it keeps spitting out discs or trying to eject a non-present disc.

PS: In case you don't know what screw we're talking about you can see it on PS4's manual, search for manually eject disc, the screw is under the same cover you open to change the hard drive. You'll need a phillips screwdriver to tighten it, but thankly you won't need to open anything further to fix the problem, so it doesn't mess with warrant.

eferreira4145d ago

All these issues I hear and nothing on my end from all 3 platforms.

Applejack4145d ago

Probably because most of these issues are isolated events and thank goodness for that.

Oschino19074145d ago

Even better is it's not consistent at all. I had it happen months ago, maybe 5-6 times over a few weeks, didn't matter if I was actually playing a disc game or not. But it hasn't happened since and I have been playing multiple disc games fairly often.

fhizikz4145d ago

This happened to my ps4 and this fix worked for me

HaHa_Ostrich4145d ago

I had this issue with my PS3, couldnt get the disc out, lots of noise was comming out... the problem persisted for a week and then it kinda fixed itself. No problem since.

Best Adventure Game of 2025

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.

Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Has Sold 7 Million Units

Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.

Abnor_Mal14m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Great game, and deserves all its sales. Ace Combat has always been a great series. I should replay AC7 again for the fourth time.

It’s unfortunate that Ace Combat8 won’t have vr, as the devs felt it would be too much work and they would be essentially making two games.

Would love a release of Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but I’d be fine with Ace3,4&5 remasters for PS5 with updated tightened controls.

Sony Remade Demon’s Souls, So Why Won’t It Touch Bloodborne?

The Outerhaven writes: Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?

Demon's Souls was a PS3 game.

Bloodborne is PS4 and can be played on a PS5.

There's no need for a remaster.

Relientk7714h ago

I completely agree with you on this. If you want remasters or remakes give us games from the PS1 or PS2 era like Legend of Dragoon.

Eonjay9h ago

I would say thats a personal oponion trying to be passed off as a law. Truth is thre are many people who would love a remaster.upgrade so they can play Bloodborne at 60 FPS. People would literally love that.

shadowhaxor11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I mentioned that in my article, did you read it? I literally pointed out this is exactly why the game is still doing well, and why Sony has zero reason to remake/remaster it.

And there are plenty of PS4 to PS5 remaster/remakes, to counterpoint that.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
GTA V Expanded & Enhanced
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
Control: Ultimate Edition
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Eonjay9h ago

Either because they technically can't because From Soft wont allow them too, or because From Soft is sorking on the sequal, remaster themselves. Therre is a third option of course and that would be that they are working on it

MinnesotaFatts7h ago

Some part of me wonders if there's some sort of corporate war going on at Sony.

Daver9h ago

I want a new one not a remaster

victorMaje9h ago

TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?

Goodguy018h ago

What it needs is a ps5+pc release. The game absolutely needs a 4k60 update. Lots of money sony is sleeping on while the souls genre is still hot.

MinnesotaFatts7h ago

Tell me you don't know what a remaster is without telling me.

Bloodborne is infamously capped at 30fps on either system--a bizarre design choice given that speed and reaction time is central to the gameplay systems. This capped performance was never patched out officially, unless you jailbreak and mod your console. A remaster for modern hardware, not the infamously finicky PS4 devkits, would be a great way to both hyper-optimize the game *and* drive sales for the PS5, which still doesn't have a system seller title.

spoonard2h ago

I don't want a remaster, I want a ground-up remake, like Demon's Souls. 60+FPS, higher res textures, and higher poly models. Why wouldn't anyone want those things for Bloodborne???

There might be some licensing red tape they cant get around?

shadowhaxor11h ago

That'd be interesting, but Sony owns the IP 100%. So, I can't see how that is part of the issue, if there is even one.

RaiderNation7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).

BeHunted2h ago

Sony doesn't own the studio that created the game

MinnesotaFatts7h ago

That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.

Inverno11h ago

Because they're saving that for the PS6 to lure in all the suckers that will think they're making a sequel, but the whole gen will pass by and From won't ever touch it because Song doesn't care for either Demon or Blood outside of remakes.

Furesis9h ago

Because they made them do something else, then they canceled it and who knows what they are doing these days. They dont understand what they have and honestly i dont think they know what they are doing either.

blacktiger8h ago

How bout forget remade and start making new game pls?
