PS4 Blu-ray Spindle Repair (CUH-1215)

[@HighFidelityFox]

Thank you for making such a brilliant video. Not a single other video on here talks about the drive mechanism or repairing it. Took me hours trying to figure out how the magnetic spindle pulley was supposed to go haha Everyone's always just ,,replace and throw away the old part" but soooo many old parts still work perfectly and just require a but of work. Replacement is not repair!

Thank you for saying this! I don't have a lot of time to do repairs and even less to make videos so I try to make stuff that isn't already well-covered. Glad it helped!

OMG thank you! I couldn’t find my problem and when i watched your video, it had the same sound ! So i found the same situation with my disk reader the flex cable was unseated!!!!

I wish someone would make a video about the Slim model disc drive not catching and spinning the discs while the head keeps trying to read it until it gives up. Similar to the problem shown at the beginning 0:41. Weirdly, the drive will have no issue picking up Blu-Ray movies and DVDs, it only fails with game discs. I can't understand what it's happening, and it's supposedly a common PS4 disc drive issue. I've seen people on KZbin come up with that same problem only for them to replace the whole disc drive, which isn't a fix!

Question: My son's PS4 1215b had a stuck disc. I pulled it and replaced the blue-ray drive because of the dreaded unrecognized disc error. I went with a new one from Amazon. It was not new....sent it back. Second one sounds good but still getting error. I noticed what I think is resign from the rubber rollers on eject. So I backed up his games and reset to factory settings. Still getting unrecognized error. Should I send back the 2nd blu-ray drive and get one from another source? What would be your next move? Thanks so much.

Hi, Very Good video, thx a lot I have a problem and I would like to know if you could help me. My Play 4 pro does not read discs, it seemed that the discs did not rotate, so I disassembled it and I did not see anything strange in it, so I decided to change the disc drive “Kes-496aaa” and now it tries to rotate the disc, but still does not read them, and I do not know what to do, what could it be?
