PS5 Disc Drive Not Reading or Ejecting? Fixes (Perth)

Disc drive problems are common on the disc edition PS5 — discs that will not read, discs that keep ejecting on their own, or a disc jammed inside. Here is what causes them and how they are fixed.

Common symptoms

• The console will not recognise any disc
• It repeatedly ejects the disc with a series of beeps
• Grinding or clunking noises when a disc goes in
• A disc stuck inside that will not come out

What causes it

The usual causes are a dirty or worn laser, a fault in the drive mechanism or its gears, or a loose internal connection. Sometimes a firmware glitch is to blame, which is why a couple of quick checks are worth doing first.

Quick checks to try

• Fully power the console down and restart it
• Make sure the system software is up to date
• Try a clean, undamaged disc to rule out the disc itself

When it needs a repair

If the checks do not help, the drive needs attention — a clean, a mechanism repair, or a drive replacement depending on the fault. We can also safely remove a stuck disc without damaging the console.
