Einleitung

Hier wird der Austausch des optischen Laufwerks gezeigt. Das Laufwerk verbleibt fast als Letztes in der Konsole, dies bedeutet, dass du praktisch alle Teile vorher ausbauen musst. Es sind viele Schritte durchzuführen, wenn du noch Garantie hast, würdest du sie dadurch verlieren.

    • Drehe die Konsole mit der Unterseite nach oben.

    • Ziehe mit den Fingern am Plastikdeckel der Festplatte und lasse ihn aufschnappen.

    DON’T FORGET TO HAVE THERMAL PASTE HANDY! It should be added to the “Tools Required” Section. You will NEED it!

    Jaquell Chandler -

    What if thermal paste is not applied again when remounting ? Will the playstation start and work anyway or not ?

    Vincent Bee -

    It will start and run normally until you put it under load. Then it will heat up and thermal throttle or it can overheat and destroy itself.

    Jeremy Ivey -

    I posted this down in another step too, but: if you have a very early North American PS4 Pro, with the exact optical drive shown here - the key way to tell is the very long data cable that’s folded a couple of times, see pictures in later steps - then the replacement drive iFixit offers WILL NOT WORK IN YOUR MACHINE. It has to be a very early model, apparently, but the model number isn’t enough to tell you.

    Even if you swap the too-short cables in their replacement with the longer cables on your drive, it still will not work. At all. It’ll just sit there like the drive isn’t even getting power.

    So if you do have this drive, what you probably need to do is get a replacement KES-496A Optical Pickup Assembly and replace that within your existing drive. That’s what I had to do after two different replacement drives sent by iFixit failed to work in my system. It worked immediately and I’m back online.

    The optical pickup replacement is awfully fiddly, and adds a solid 20 minutes to the repair easily. But it does work.

    • Drehe die Kreuzschlitzschraube #1 heraus, welche den Festplattenträger befestigt.

    • Ziehe den Festplattenträger gerade heraus.

    This is a Phillips #1 bit.

    • Drehe die Konsole auf die richtige Seite.

    • Fasse die beiden Ecken an der Vorderseite an.

    • Ziehe sie nach oben, bis du ein lautes Klicken hörst.

    • Hier brauchst du ziemlich viel Kraft, habe keine Angst, deine Konsole etwas gröber zu behandeln.

    • Wenn sich beide Ecken gelöst haben, dann kannst du die Abdeckung nach hinten schieben und abheben.

    %#*@. I thought I was gonna break the thing. You really do have to give it some elbow grease.

    Addison Francisco -

    there were also some screws that needed to come out before popping it off. Might have been a different version im working on. there were three screws attached to the console that I had to remove before popping off the top.

    Ricky Arias -

    The 7215B has one TR8 security Torx behind the center “void” sticker.

    • Entferne vier oder fünf Torx T8 Security Schrauben vom hinteren Teil des Geräts.

    • Zwei 31 mm Schrauben.

    • Drei 10 mm Schrauben beim 7000 Modell oder zwei graue 10 mm Schrauben, wenn deine PS4 Pro ein 7100er Modell ist (die mittlere Schraube ist dann nicht vorhanden).

    • Ziehe die Metallplatte nach oben und entferne sie.

    I copy the comment written by Jason at the end of this guide, because it’s better to have it here:

    This guide is for the initial release CUH-7000 models. Of note is the changes to the CUH-7100 series that do make this guide an issue. Steps 4 and 5 have a different items to note. You can damage it following this guide if you don’t adjust. There no longer 3 security screws for the case, but just one. This single screw is still covered by a warranty sticker, but the second one is a blank sticker and no screw behind it. There is also no 10mm screw in the center power supply in Step 4, it’s a support post. You still remove the 4 other screws, but you must then flip the console over and remove a T8 screw to the right on the HDD cage and another closer to the right side. You can then flip the console over again to remove the battery and plug it. Just remove all the metal plate screws to be sure, but make sure you hold the board when you flip it again or you will bend the battery prongs like I found out the hard way.

    kautame -

    Oh! That explains why I stripped the middle screw. What’s a support post?

    Philippe Morin -

    Had to use TR8 instead of 10mm here.

    Addison Francisco -

    After I popped the top off, I got 4 out of 5 screws out. The 5 th screw for some reason, was a little bit bigger, therefore, I could not take out that screw so I could clean the heatsink and fan.

    Dixie Dawg -

    Me too it’s not like another screw it’s have black and I can’t remove if you know pls tell me how i do bro ???

    Montri Meka -

    I stripped the %#*@ screw in the middle. (orange highlighting) It’s a black head and the T8 Torx Security head doesn’t work! I have a CUH-7115B. I think it’s a regular T8 or some kind of Hex head. ? I don’t know what to do now!! :(

    Philippe Morin -

    As mentioned above, this guide is for the old models. 7215B: There 4 TR8 screws (2 long, 2 short) holding the plate. The middle is a support post.

    • Drehe die Konsole um, so dass der Boden nach oben zeigt.

    • 7000er Modelle: Entferne drei schwarze 7 mm Torx T8 Security Schrauben von der Rückwand.

    • 7100er Modelle: Entferne die schwarze 7 mm Torx T8 Security Schraube in der Mitte und den Garantie-Aufkleber links.

    • Entferne die Bodenabdeckung auf die gleiche Art, wie die obere Abdeckung. Fasse die Abdeckung an beiden Seiten und ziehe daran, bis es klickt. Schiebe dann die Abdeckung weg. Passe bei den 7100er-Modellen auf die beiden Clips auf, die die Schrauben ersetzen.

    Adding to this, the screws are not visible unless you remove the warranty stickers!

    George Diaz -

    Also, the plastic on the back of the cover is prone to cracking. Be careful and undo snaps across the whole back of the panel gently!

    Nick Podrebarac -

    Vielen vielen Dank. Endlich ist der jumbojet gelandet #fan

    Christian Radke -

    7215B has 1 TR8 screw beneath a sticker between the optical and USB ports, and two clips (1 next to the HDD slot and 1 beneath a sticker near the power port.)

    • Entferne die elf 10 mm silberfarbenen Torx T8 Security Schrauben von der Metallplatte.

    • Entferne die elf schwarzen 4 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben #1 von der Metallplatte.

    • Bei 7200er-Modellen gibt es noch weitere dreizehn 4 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben oben und rechts an der Metallplatte. Diese Schrauben sind mit einem Dreieck markiert. Dies gilt eventuell auch für andere Modelle.

    • Heble mit einem Spudger die drei Antennenkabel (zwei schwarze und eine weiße) gerade aus ihren Anschlüssen hoch und löse sie ab.

    Noted during my replacement that the PS4 Pro appears to have additional #0 Phillips Head screws in Step 6 required to remove the metal plate from the motherboard and that the metal “X” plate in Step 11 appears to be included now in this overall metal cover for the motherboard, no longer separate, which accounts for the additional screws.

    David Carlsen -

    Original pro here. Had 12 torx

    Skyler Cook -

    cuh0-7216b have more philips #1 screws on metal plate on right, +13 screws :)

    Papolo0 -

    (PS4 Pro) Bei mir ebenfalls 11 T8 Torx, von denen 3 Sicherheitstorx waren.

    Rebecca Dorsch -

    My PS4 Pro 7115 has additional sets of #0 Phillips screws on the plate. 10x in the primary processor space (blank plate area of the graphic here), 2x over the fan, and 1x on the outside edge to clamp down on the primary processor area. Model CUH-7115B

    • Löse die fünf kleinen blauen Flachkabel, die an der Metallplatte angeschlossen sind.

    • Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Anschluss des breiten Flachbandkabels hoch.

    • Ziehe das breite Flachbandkabel aus dem Anschluss heraus.

    • Ziehe nicht an diesem Kabel, bevor du den Sicherungsbügel hochgeklappt hast. Du könntest sonst den Anschluss beschädigen.

    What the cable in the up left corner is for? I broke it and i’d like to know at what is it connected?

    Thanks

    Enrico Pensalfine -

    The blue ribbon cables aren’t connected to the metal plate. The plate can be safely removed beforehand. The only thing one should do prior to its removal is de route the antenna cables for the WNIC.

    • Ziehe das Netzteil hoch und lege es auf die Konsole.

    • Ziehe nicht zu sehr, es ist immer noch angeschlossen.

    • Fasse den Stecker hinter dem Netzteil und ziehe ihn gerade heraus.

    Why do I have to remove the PSU here? I do not see the necessity judging by the following steps.

    Alexander Bla -

    This comes in handy when removing the entire motherboard which is necessary when cleaning the heat sink.

    George Diaz -

    Bonjour, Que se soit le connecteur du bloc comme celui sur la partie ps4 , il est difficile à retirer ce câblage… peut-on tirer sans risque réellement ?

    Brezu Sama -

    IMPORTANT: The connector on the motherboard is very sensitive. I’d recommend using pliers to put pressure down on the connector while slowly jerking the cable out of the socket to avoid serious damage to the connector and/or motherboard that could render the PSU connection useless and require advanced soldering / rewiring.

    Daniel Larusso -

    This!

    Connector was quite tight in PSU side and I ended pulling connector from motherboard resulting me getting PS5 for Christmas.

    tero -

    Also der stecke lässt sich nicht entfernen

    Slime -

    Der Stecker am Netzteil (letzter Schritt) erscheint mir ungewöhnlich fest, und lässt sich ohne weiteres nicht entfernen. Besteht die Möglichkeit, dass dieser neuerdings verklebt ist oder dergleichen? :-/

    Rebecca Dorsch -

    Das würde mich auch interessieren. Ich habe den Stecker weder vom Mainboartd noch von der PSU abbekommen. Leider habe ich den Stecker dann abgerissen - aber er hat sich auf keiner Seite abziehen lassen.

    • Entferne die acht 4 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben #1, welche die Metallplatte mit der X-förmigen Prägung festhalten.

    • Entferne die Metallplatte mit einem Öffnungswerkzeug aus Plastik.

    My PS4 Pro 7115, this and more is integrated with the main plate, as noted above, plus there are 10 in this area (not 8), along with 2 over the fan and 1 to the edge of this area. Model CUH-7115B

    Mine had an S shape with two screws.

    Christopher -

    Depending on the series it will have either a S or X shape bracket

    • Fasse die Hauptplatine an der Kante und entferne sie vom Gerät.

    • Beim Zusammenbau musst du neue Wärmeleitpaste zwischen Hauptplatine und der Metallplatte auftragen. Unsere Anleitung hilft dir dabei.

    Does anybody know the name of the white detail from the first screenshot step #13? (Plastic with square metal inside). I broke it by accident during dissembling and want to find replacement for it, but can’t find it anywhere.

    serjgord -

    I can read F2-4 >POM< on the plastic piece but i guess thisis a radiator/thermal dissipator support. HTH

    Vincent Bee -

    Won't you also need a paired optical drive to replace the motherboard? My ps4 got broken some weeks ago and I've found out that I need to replace the motherboard for it to work again, but I keep seeing that you also need a paired optical drive. Is this true? My ps4 pro is a CUH-7216B if that helps

    Jekabs Freimanis -

    A warning should be before this step that this step detaches from the primary heat sync. The required tools should list the replacement thermal paste at the beginning, not after the step is already to have been completed.

    r0flm4k3r -

    tut euch selbst den gefallen und tauscht auch alle Wärmeleitpads. (ca 14 stück)

    Great guide but it would be great if you could mention at the beginning that dismounting the heatseak will be required, as will reapplying thermal paste and add these tools to the list…

    Simon Preece -

    Yeah, they probably should have made it more obvious for those who are inexperienced, but one who’s repairing or disassembling any electronics should have thermal paste on-hand. Also, if you anticipate a teardown to the motherboard, it’s usually expected to remove any heatsink for the main processor.

    I did this guide step by step and then in reverse. Worked out fine, but the optical drive is not reading disks. Anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to initialize my system after installing a new disk drive?

    Same problem here. Mine works if i tap on the case in exactly the right spot, but I think i’ll buy a new carriage.

    They seem to sell for about $30 in Aus.

    After replacing the disc drive, the unit powers on 3 beeps, then turns off.

    I've done 2 overheating treatments to the processor. Also, replaced the power supply. No luck. Any thoughts,? There isn't much info out there on the pros

    Myra Augustine -

    Hallo mein Sohn hat eine Mini Musik CD ins Laufwerk geschoben. Bekommen wir sie wieder raus???

    Sven Weber -

    I have the same original optical drive as shown here, with the long cable. If you have this drive in a very early North American PS4 Pro (mine was US market) the replacement drive offered by iFixit DOES NOT WORK IN YOUR MACHINE. Even if you swap cables - the included primary data cable in the replacement is too short - it WILL NOT WORK. What you probably need is a KES-496A optical pickup, and swap that out inside your existing optical drive. That’s what I had to do, and it fixed it for me.

    Dara Korra'ti -

    Hi, I know that PS4 original has a daughter board that needs to be swapped from old to new replacement optical drive. But what about PS4 pro model? There is no daughter board there. Is it possible just to swap same model optical drive and the PS4 will work normaly?

    Thx for any answer

I called an “expert” and they said buying a new drive wont work. I would have to buy a whole new mother board as well…

Vince -

The PS4 Pro does not have a daughter board attached to the optical drive to match up the optical drive model numbers to like the regular PS4. Where do we find what replacement optical drive to buy? Would it be the most recent BDP-025?

David -

I’m currently trying to find a replacement Optical Drive for my Ps4 Pro myself. Apparently, This is really hard to find. Managed to find a used one but the price to me seems a bit high at $123.

Shaquille Moss -

Excellent instructions just saved me a lot of dosh. I would recommend using Phillips #00 where #0 is noted however - worked better for me.

Thanks again though!

Marc Butterworh -

Forgot to say that I my drive was fine once I fished out the two Switch cartridges my 3 year old had posted in there! Obviously wanted to play Zelda on my PS4 pro - if only.

Marc Butterworh -

I had to open my optical drive up as a sticker had come off a disc and was lodged in there. Discs were going in and being ejected fine but would not read.

I opened the optical drive up and removed the sticker. Now when it's all back together and the console is running it won't accept a disc, the disc won't even go in far enough to trigger the motor to pull it in.

there a certain position the mechanisms should be in when re-assembling?

Will -

Did you solve the problem?

Konsol -

Not myself. I had it repaired by EB Games.

Hab alles gemacht und auch wieder zusammen gebaut und jetzt startet die ps4 Pro nicht mehr :( es kommt nur ein kurzes blaues Licht wie wenn es sich Einschaltet und plötzlich schaltet sie sich wieder aus :/ was ist da jetzt?? Kann mir bitte der helfen?

Paradoxer Typ -

I have a PS4 pro and have been having an issue where the drive will keep starting to spin with the characteristic ps4 whine, then stop, then start spinning again, then stopping, etc. until the system finally displays the unrecognized disc message.

After a couple attempts at fixing the drive, I decided that it must be malfunctioning, and needed to be replaced. I ordered a new drive and installed it. Unfortunately, the new drive is exhibiting the exact same issues.

So now I'm thinking it is not an issue with the drive itself, but don't know what else I can do to correct this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Lane Romero-Reiss -

Typo in step 6, Should say 6 Phillips screws

Keith Lindenberg -

Awesome instructions - just used to remove a sticker which had come off a dvd and got lodged in the drive. I couldn't find anywhere online what the best pattern is to place the thermal compound on a PS4 pro, but have used vertical stripes across the shortest dimension on the chip and it seems to be doing fine.

Thanks again but please add a bit at the beginning warning that you will need thermal compound etc to complete fo others.

Simon Preece -

I suspect i placed my CD into the drive upside down, which is why the disk is unreadable. It is also not ejecting as there is no disk recognised. Tried the manual ejection and it has not worked so i think its stuck inside. My question is, can i remove it with force (E.g. Taking tweezers and pulling it out) or something like that or does it need to be opened ? I don’t know why it is stuck it should come out with manual ejection.

H4MZ466 -

NO don't do this there is a screen that comes up a it will cost u more to replace that peice talking from experience here

Daniel Pourciau -

Hello, I got a new drive, followed all instructions. Now the optical drive doesnt power on. Tried the old drive which use to power on and now it doesnt either. I was very careful (I am experienced enough with repair to know about ribbon cables and the delicate locks) and did not break anything. What else could be the issue? I have 10x checked and cleaned the drive’s ribbon connectors. I just dont know why they dont get power now?

John Zealand Doyle -

Thank you very much guys. Great tutorial. It took me just 1.5 hour with new thermal paste installation.

You are the best!!

lucasquest -

Hallo

ich habe an zwei Pros (7000 und 7100) die optischen Laufwerke getauscht. Jetzt ziehen beide die CD nicht mehr rein. So, also ob sie nicht angeschlossen wäre. Jedoch wenn die PS4 ausgeschaltet ist und ich eine CD rein schieben will, startet sie. Aber der Einzug tut nicht. Bei beiden der gleiche Fehler/Verhalten. Auch zurück tauschen hat nichts gebracht. Es es da einen besonderen Kniff den man beim Einbau beachten muss???

Ja, die 3 Flachbandkabel des Laufwerks habe ich mehrmals überprüft.

Klaus Breckner -

Das Laufwerk las nur noch DVD und keine Blu-ray mehr. Nachdem ich die PS innen soweit gesäubert habe und anschließend wieder zusammengebaut habe, läuft diese wieder einwandfrei... Besten Dank 👍
