PS4 Slim CUH-2015A Dirty Rollers Clean and Re-Paste

Today we worked on a PS4 Slim that struggled to accept disks into the drive and that ran fairly hot. Customer stated that he had already put new thermal paste on it a few days prior. Job ended up being a bit more of a headache than needed since the customer had damaged some of the system by improperly disassembling it.

Hey when u take out the silver part of the disc drive the white piece to the left side of the console is pushed up and wont go back for mine... any advice? its causing my disc not to go in the console cause its literally hitting a solid I have the same model everything (is there any way i can msg u for help?)

The lever on the side won’t go down ?

[@JGregory757]

I think one of the reasons my ps4 isn’t sucking in the disc is because the rollers need to be cleaned they were sticky when I took them out so I think cleaning them will do the trick hopefully

[@yournerdforhire]

Good luck with it! It's pretty common. You can leave the cover off it and see what it's doing too if the system still won't accept. There's a lot of issues that can go wrong with the slim disk drive

@@yournerdforhire thanks I have have pro version but I may have to clean the inside of the disc drive this is my last resort if this doesn’t work I’ll just have to get a new PlayStation

@@JGregory757 I gotcha, if you end up needing repairs I do accept mail ins as well!

Do i use just simple water on them or do i have to use a product?

[@yournerdforhire]

Never use water! While water doesn't damage components the minerals they contain do and will cause corrosion over time. I use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean any nasty gunk off the systems and rollers. For the shells you can use some warm water and a dab of dish soap. Only reassemble the system once the shells have completely dried out

@@yournerdforhire so simple alcohol is good? Anyway thank you for the fast response.

[@yournerdforhire]

@@CC-xo7ky isopropyl alcohol is the only kind I recommend. Anything from 91-99%
