Introduction |
| Follow this guide to replace the optical drive on your Sony Playstation 4. | | On 1XXX series models of the PS4, the optical drive and motherboard are paired, thus replacing only the optical drive will result in a non-functioning device. Be sure to order the correct paired optical drive and motherboard for your PS4 model and replace both. | | On the base model ps4 that has a 500 gig hard drive, the optical drive has a daughter board that works with the system to let the system know if there is a disk in the drive and what the disk is. This daughter board is paired with the ps4 motherboard. Should the disk drive break, all the user has to do is replace only the disk drive with the exact same unit and the problem should be fixed. Don't replace the daughter board as the system won't recognize another daughter board in it's place. If the daughter board has gone bad, transfer data to another playstation 4 as that will be your only option. | | | '''Unplug your PS4 before beginning any repairs.''' | | There is no need to replace the ps4 motherboard as motherboards aren't available anyway. | | | In my case, the new disc drive that I bought can work with either a daughter board labeled as bdp-025 or bdp-020. The daughter board in my ps4 is bdp-020. | | | I hope that this new information will be of use to you. Anyway, onto the repair. | | | ***Unplug your PS4 before beginning any repairs.*** |
