Hello, my ps5 disc drive stoped working today, i can hear the motor start to run but it wont take the disc in at all. I took the drive apart only to inspect if something is blocked or broken but everything is fine. Took it back and still the same thing. My console is cfi1016a those count as launch models and is 2 years old out of warranty. Is there a way i can completely replace the disc drive? Or have a workaround to disable the drive so software doesnt detect it so i can update my console regularly in future.
It is important to reassemble the drive correct. There is a pin at the v-mechanic which reacts to the disc contour. If the pin is not inside its place on the botton side part the magnetic disc holder in the middle is not pushed up to give room for a incoming disc.
