I was playing a game a short while ago, then shut off my ps4 for the night..I walked away and about 10minutes later without touching my console or controllers, my ps4 beeped like 7 times, turned itself on and spit out my game disc..then it wouldn't take the disc and was making a weird processing noise every 5 or so seconds..like the drive was trying to read a disc that wasn't there..I shut it off, restarted it, then it said on screen that my external hard drive was improperly disconnected..I rebooted it again, it accepted my disc and there doesn't seem to be any issues thus far..there's a couple quick fixes when it comes to the auto eject..1 is to rebuild the data bases in safe mode, another is to prop the ps4 so it isn't laying flat on whatever surface it's on or stand it vertically..and the 3rd is to take off the glossy hard drive cover and tighten a specific screw (you would have to see a video tutorial because it's hard to describe in words where it's located) all of these solutions can be found on YouTube..probably doesn't help OP with his issue but it's kind of odd this just literally happened to me..it's now unplugged until I can tinker with it tomorrow
I did all that (except Safe Mode) and then some. The beeping auto eject has been an occasional problem since I got it. All the stuff online said it was a problem with almost all PS4s, and there wasn't much outside of temporary fixes for it. I wish now that I replaced it under warranty, I just had bad experiences doing that with my xbox360 in the past.
The problem for me now is that the beeping and auto eject was always the issue, but now it doesn't do that, it doesn't take any discs at all. Other than that, the ps4 works normally. The video I found online shows an issue very similar to mine, and I'm sure I can fix it myself, but if I fuck it up or that wasn't event he real issue, then I cant even send in my PS4 to be repaired.
Question now is, based on everyone saying $100-$150 to repair it outside of warranty, is it even worth it at that point?
