Get a Stuck Disc Out of Your PS4 - Manual Eject

This DIY PS4 repair video shows users how to remove a disc that is stuck in a PS4 game console. Playstation 4's all have manual eject screws. Many people think that Sony took the manual eject feature out with the 1200, 1215 models but they did not. It's still there just hidden under the hard drive.
Whether you have a 1001, 1115, 1215, etc. PS4 this video will show you every step needed to remove the stuck disc from your console's disc drive.
If the manual eject screw does not work on your PS4 then the disc drive is likely broken and needs repair.

I just wanted to say thank you. 5 years later and this is still very helpful. The online directions make it appear you only turn it a couple times and the disc should come out. Watching you say how long it actually takes saved me from giving up and just shipping it off to Sony.

I did this for 10 minutes. Started to take the whole ps4 apart.

Realised there wasn't a disc in my ps4 to start with.

Slowly resembled the ps4.

Went downstairs and got a beer to contemplate life...

1. Turn off ps4
2. Turn on ps4 by the eject button
3. Slap top of ps4
4. Disc came right out
This actually worked!

I spent more time looking for screwdrivers than actually getting my disc out still got my disc out

[MrChapin]

Extremely Helpful !! Didn’t have to go through the hassle of pulling everything apart

[jpp]

Am I the only one who doesn't have a tiny enough screw driver to do this?

[therealbongos]

Honestly, thank you so much, I had a disc stuck in my PS4 and I started freaking out

[crimson_shadow]

You saved my Digimon game disc!!! Was stuck cause my ps4 won't turn on anymore but you are a lifesaver :D. Definitely deserve more subs & you definitely got mine

[peanuckleheadgaming]

This was super helpful. My son thought it was the end of the world, but you made it such an easy fix. Thanks!!

[rafaelknoppp]

this is seriously the best video to fix your ps

[toollad]

Thank you so much. Just cleaned all the dust out of my playstation with the disc in and went on and couldn't eject the disc so I got worried. This helped me so much.

I cannot describe how happy I was when I noticed this had a tutorial for my model. was searching for a good hour trying to find a tutorial wondering why mine didn’t look the same as the rest, til I figured out I just had a different one. Tutorial worked great, and straight to the point! Thanks so much!

[johannat]

Finally someone that knows how to make a proper video. Every other video is trying get me to open up the entire PS4.

[voissjonew]

I really appreciated this video. I spent literal MONTHS trying to find a video that showed how to get the disc out of my specific model and this was the only one I could find! 3/3 Michelin stars 👍

[PowerSloth]

Even 5 years later this trick is a life saver. Thank man!

[Skarz]

I greatly appreciate the part where you said "you have to keep turning the screw until it comes out because many people think it will just come right out."

3 other videos didn't say this so I just began unscrewing really fast and sure enough it came out pretty quick.

Thanks a bunch

[woahdudeitsme]

Thank you so much nobody else mentioned the difference in models and only showed the one I don't have!

[James-xwli]

the thing at 3:48 won't turn and I've tried for a while. I'm definitly using the right screwdriver but it won't turn at all.

I was traveling with my PS4 and completely forgot to take a game out before turning it off and unplugging the system and the game got completely stuck in the system. I tried your tactic and it worked perfectly and we managed to get the game out of the system. Thank you man. This helped a lot👍
