Now my ps4 can't turn on; when I push the start button it beeps one time and turns off immediately.

I called Sony and was told it was user error so they won't replace it for me.

The port is missing at least 2 pins. I have already taken the PS4 apart and couldn't figure out a solution. Is this part replaceable? Where I can find the part?

Thank you,

Utilizing the manual release did not lower it.

Resetting the device in safe mode did not resolve the issue.

Am I correct in assuming this is what keeps the disc in the drive?

Any idea on a manual reset? I can press it down but it pops right back up.

Sorry for the blurry image. If you can make out the black plastic guard that's what I'm referring to.

UPDATE

One of the rollers came out of place which caused the guard to remain up.

New issue - it will not "accept" a disc. I can now insert the disc but it will not auto feed. I can use the manual eject screw to insert/remove the disc but it will not read. I've tried different tightness and it seems to try to spin the disc at a certain point (with lots of noise) but fails to read it.

if the system is powered on with the disc partially inserted the system appears to be cable of ejecting it.* The eject button no longer responds...

I've contacted Sony, but as it is out of warranty I'm not sure what they can do. Do any of you have any suggestions (other than banging it on my knee, which seems incredibly silly to me with an expensive piece of technology)?

Any help would be appreciated. I really hope I didn't just buy a $300 paperweight.

(I've tried other HDMI cords as well, they started to chip on the top too after I tried plugging it into my Playstation.)

I have clear the data base, unplugged the PS4 and I am out of ideas. Any help?

Here is a link of how it sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_AFaJ09...

Thanks in advance!

EDIT (2020.04.22): First off, wow I did not realize people even looked at this thread. Second, I want everyone to know I ended up sending my console to Sony, who kindly repaired it even after the warranty had expired (IIRC I only paid for shipping, it’s been so long IDEK). Thank you to Tronics as well as the many people who I have neglected these past (wow) 4 years for your wonderful tips, and best of luck to those who may have this problem in future. Stay savvy.

Reason why i am suspecting that the problem is with PS4 bluetooth reception is that i have faced the same issue with two separate controllers where as both the controllers are working perfectly fine on an other PS4.

looking forward to some great answers.

PS4 randomly loses Wifi connection and disconnects controller and no way to reconnect them again or having my PS4 controller to detect the console again, UNLESS I do a HARD RESET to the console (keeping the power button touched with finger for several seconds - doing a turn off / turn on cycle manually)

Same I read here in this thread, but no solution found.

https://community.playstation.com/conten...

Some others suggest it is related to the antenna. But my console has never fallen, and if it was the antenna, I guess turn it off several wireless devices around, and approaching the Wireless controller to the console should allow the controller to detect the console. But it does not.

Other suggest it was a bad Firmware installed (bugs on it). I can't reverse the last update of the console. I don't even know if that is possible.

I'm having this annoyance constantly in the middle of an online game, and I need to restart the PS4 mannually every time in order to have WIFI and BT wireless connections restored. THERE IS NO WAY to connect them again, until I do this HARD RESET to the PS4 console.

When turned on, then everything connects again (wireless controller and WIFI). Then again, at a random time, disconnects from WIFI and Wireless controller (in the middle of a game, or movie, etc.). It just keeps doing it.

By the way, I have another spare controller. Same thing. Fully charged both of them. Same results.

Any other suggestion will be very appreciated.

Any ideas?

⟐ Commented March 02, 2026 at 9:20 MST

it gave error code (CE-35952-4)

this didn''t work. Then I tried the exfat format with the same file path, and that did not fix the problem either. Both were attempted in safe mode, I have tried all of the other options from the safe mode menu and still the system will not load properly.

Please help and thank you for doing so.
