Loud Disc drive on the PS5? Here is a fix

For those who may encounter some reliability issues with the disc drive. 😉

Okay.

The fix is to wait until Sony either fixes this problem before purchasing a console or to simply just wait for the Pro model in 2 years.

I don’t think there is anything that can fix the PS5. It’s a broken System.

Are mods really going to pretend there isn't a problem with lemming alts around here?

Mine is loud as **** when the disc is spinning. Its much louder than my ps4 i had.

Well worth the money I guess. 🤭

That sucks. I can't stand that sound.

I'm still hunting for a PS5 but I'll most likely be picking up a discless version anyway. I haven't purchased a physical copy of a game in years.

I'm pretty happy with the hardware in my digital PS5.

Of course it's still a bit under-powered in the GPU department for my tastes, and it's ugly and big, but hey it's Sony's first attempt at a modern computer. Thank **** it doesn't have a disc drive tho.

weak and loud

something that has become accustom to playstation

It is hard to argue it is weak when you have the Switch, followed by the Series S and it is keeping up with the Series X.

Someone having a bad day.....again?

Broken whiney drive?? Put it out of its misery.

@Pedro:

weakstation 5

hah

Repeating it doesn't change the facts. 😎

@Pedro:

weak as piss

hah

What are you, the self-appointed alt police? Every single thread, all you can talk about is how many alt accounts people have. Anything to distract from all the great news coming from Xbox.

There's no need to get triggered over it if you don't have an alt.

You folks love to project and it is like I am always on your mind. 🤭

Luckily I haven't had any problems with my PS4's or PS5, but my kids say their PS4 gets loud. Is it from mistreating the systems or is it just a problem that occurs in some consoles?

@NathanDrakeSwag: Are you going to go after everyone that has few posts made here? His account is older than yours , let's be real no every person posting here waste his/her days / 24/7 defending their favorite system like you do with your girlfriend ps5.

No need to fix one if you don't buy one.

This is why the Series S was the only logical choice for early adoption imo. Only one moving part, the fan.

My original launch Xbox One, had fan noises and the HDD failed. So, I wouldn't have early adopted any other console. Even the digital PS5. Because the Series X and PS5 and really quite powerful for their size, so I also wouldn't know if there would be any heat related issues like RROD.

I would have waited at least a year for any other console to make sure any issues were ironed out. I wouldn't have been wrong, there's already a thing with the PS5 having various fans or something.

Nah it's quite common, my disc drive is loud as well and it wants to randomly spin when I'm not even playing the game that's inside the drive...

@girlusocrazy: The port in the video was damaged. It was not a failure of the hardware but use.

You were incorrectly trying to equate a user damaging the HDMI port to hardware issues. There is no need to be disingenuous.

It was one of his Patreon's that send it to him. The channel is focuses almost primarily on fixing consoles and in order to show the repair of consoles, you need consoles that are broken in someway. You are making the assumption that they messed it up from user error or abuse without any evidence to back your claim. The video does not indicate any misuse of the drive. Also you are ignoring the fact that issues with the drive being noisy has been documented.

You attempted to damage control with a video in which the HDMI was damage by the user. Again, there is no need to be disingenuous or to damage control. You can easily find a vid in which a hardware failure has occurred on the Series X to ease your anxiety.

EDIT: So, I was correct. You were damage controlling. 😂🤣

You are asking a question that was clearly answered by the person sending his PS5 to him. Nowhere in any of my comments indicated anything about a widespread issues. It is particularly clear that this video made you upset. So upset that you needed to damage control and deflect to not only Series X|S but to Xbox One and 360. 😂🤣

Fortunately I haven't had any issues with mine. Good thing because I'm not about to try to do that shit myself.

If you do decide to, you have a guide. 😊

Yep this. Its not exactly noisy when inserting a disc like in the video.

If you've ever worked on many games consoles you'll realize the guts of all optical drives are a bunch of weak plastic gears and rubber belts. It's why all my disc based consoles, be it PS2, OG Xbox, Dreamcast, Gamecube, have all had their optical drives replaced with a solid state drive or SD card reader.

Which is why I LMFAO at the anti-digital people who say physical is superior because they'll still be able to install their games 10 years from now and play it.... shit, your optical drives ain't even going to work 10 years from now.

@girlusocrazy: Funny how this is a thread about a PS5 failure and you're in here posting links for Series S & Series X and wonder why i call you a cow, but, but i have an XB1 🤣🤣🤣
