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

nveenio4248d 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.)

hkgamer4249d ago

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

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

caseh4249d ago (Edited 4249d 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-BRASIL4248d 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.

eferreira4249d ago

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

Applejack4249d ago

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

Oschino19074249d 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.

fhizikz4249d ago

This happened to my ps4 and this fix worked for me

HaHa_Ostrich4249d 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.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot10h ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose1d 15h ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE1d 14h ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17h ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy1d 14h ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde1d 5h ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire861d 2h ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire861d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30001d 14h ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 8h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 5h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
