How To Replace Your Faulty PS5 Laser If It WONT READ DISCS

[@solomon9003]

Epic Video ! Helped me replace the lens myself saving me hudreds of dollars of repair quotes/costs as i live in a country which does not cover warranty ! Ordered the lens from Aliexpresss and followed your video ! The satisfaction when it worked on the first try was just too good !! Thank you soo much for the detailed guide !

[@coolbreezy2053]

Very informative! I would have liked though, a more detailed reverse process fro reassembling, MOST especially for the part to insert the ribbon back into the laser bracket, which I noticed you skipped over entirely!

Since this is a couple of years old I don't know if you'll respond, but I wanted to say thanks for the great step-by-step. I currently have a replacement laser deck on the way ($45 on eBay for the entire deck assembly), but I'm being told by many that you can't just swap the laser unit as it is "mated" with the motherboard and a new laser will not work. Can you verify whether or not this is true or just a bunch of naysayers? :D EDIT: Just wanted to follow up on this for anyone in the future. Did my deck swap, no issues at all. System booted fine, reads game and 4K Blu-Rays fine. No problems with any "mating" chip between the drive and MB. Thanks again!

Not sure if you will reply but which deck did you buy? I’m considering fixing my laser but do not want to get the wrong one.

Thank you so so much for this clear and concise video! Got me a laser with the surrounding mechanism from eBay and successfully took everything apart and back together. 50€ and a few hours of work instead of the 250€ Sony's asking, and with this tutorial it was a piece of cake.

[@bernhardv1977]

I DID IT. Thanks again. The discs are working fine now.

[@allanmcauley8807]

Thank you for this. Successfully installed new laser and working 100%

[@JayC-pl9bh]

Thanks. I have just replaced my PS5 lens using your video.

[@mateasalazar4530]

Great video! I wish you had added a bit more detail on putting that metal clip back on but it just seems to be tricky

[@johnzero7397]

It flew across the room and i lost it dammit

[@TomJung24]

What happened 7:20 and 8:40? You jumped the spring part which is the most difficult part in this video.

[@djult]

Thanks for the video!

[@jxsilicon9]

Followed your instructions and got my ps5 working again. Of course its best to get the disc laser deck and not just the laser. Really easy to replace. Hardest part is remembering the screw placement for the case. Only $39 to repair when Sony wanted $300.

[@grantkosharek5094]

If you don't mind me asking where did you buy your replacement part for $39? If you could post link that would be great too!! Thanks, glad you got it fixed!!! Mine just all of a sudden stopped reading the discs but will spin them up and eject them fine so assuming its the laser not reading anymore.

@@grantkosharek5094 any update on where to find the replacement part?

[@mharkonnen]

Same laser from PS4 PRO/SLIM then, that's handy to know

[@be_dontpeekme6231]

So i can put a ps4 pro laser in ps5 and it will work??

[@F77Daniel]

Thank you very much!! working perfect!!!

[@ChrisThePlayer777]

Do i have to look for a specific laser that used to belong to the same serial number PS5 as mine or is that irrelevant and any laser will work? I remember thats how PS3 laser replacement used to work

[@Americane121]

Great video..replaced the laser..but now it won't even take the disks into drive. Before was attempting to read disks. Now it won't even take them..thinking about changing the whole drive. Any suggestions?

[@AmericanDragon76]

Did you successfully change the whole drive?

[@ПетрНовоходов]

Огромное спасибо, у вас золотые руки, сотню лет здоровья вам и вашим близким.

[@bernhardv1977]

Good video. But in Minute 5:00 you put this small cable out. No problem. But how do i get it back in ?

[@ShawnHellwege]

Any suggestions on where to buy? There's a bunch of sus shops I've never heard of before and the reviews on third party amazon and walmart are in the 3-3.5 out of 5 range... which is pretty scary.

[@maxnankervis8246]

If my drive plays dvds but not games or dvds, is this maybe what i need? Is it a different part thats paired to the motherboard?

[@cd247repaircentre7]

Almost certainly your laser Max

[@willsonb987]

Mine was the same. Replaced the laser and started working on bluray and games.

[@bombpocalypze]

Where are you finding these replacement disc drive/ laser? I have struggled to find them even on Ebay.

[@cd247repaircentre7]

Should be a link below the video Bombpocalypze!

[@MustangChuck]

Will this void the warranty?

[@KxngzJMB]

Is this a non genuine one or a original replacement and is the quality still the same ?

[@ElasShotgun]

Question, what is the mechanism that you referred to called?

[@cd247repaircentre7]

Hi Elas, I think you are referring to the drive mechanics / mechanism. Best Regards, Bill

[@SteveStatikk123]

Is it always the laser if the disk can't be read? Mine just started doing it. I have a problem with leaving the game inside the console so I turn it off and on with it in there still.....is it possible something like the rollers might be out of place ??

[@cd247repaircentre7]

Hi Steve, yeah, could well be a mechanical issue. You’ll need to open it up and check, good luck!

[@SteveStatikk123]

@@cd247repaircentre7 thank you my first time but this video helped alot !!

[@bryanmarquez6671]

So uhhhh did checking the rollers fix the problem because mine literally started doing that yesterday. Also I never knew leaving the game disc in was bad.

[@shawnbrasuell8951]

@HFG I have had mine since April and it won't won't read discs anymore. The disc will also not eject automatically on its own so I have to eject it manually. Since it is still under warranty I am sending it in for repairs.

[@dojo_]

i got about 8 mins into this before i started contemplating fixing it or just selling my broken ps5 to build a pc lol

[@John-oo9xu]

You can do it much easier without removing all that stuff

[@jxsilicon9]

How?

[@Biggerbyte]

Geez, wouldn't it be easier to just get a whole new drive?

[@mw5692]

You can’t change the whole drive because It’s paired with the console. If you swap the whole drive, the console won’t recognize it

[@СирНикифор]

Thx bro!now it work)
