i decided to change the thermal paste on my ps4 pro but after i did my ps4 wont recognize discs and makes weird noises. i have no clue what happened to it i checked all the ribbon cables and i also checked the drive itself, nothing seems out of place. the odd thing is that when i put the ps4 upside down it reads them just fine. has anyone else had this problem? any help is appreciated. i added two videos showing what happens

Why did you change the thermal paste? It's only been on the market for a year or so. It didn't need maintenance.

I have a PS4 Pro, too, and it's actually the BD drive that makes that horrible noise, like a plane is about to take off. Once the game installs to the HDD, it runs reasonably quiet (sitting 40 cm away from it).

Note: it might take a while (sometimes up to half an hour depending how big the game files are), since that's how PS4 games work these days - you plug them in and they install to the HDD in the background while you play them. Not all games, but most of them. And it makes horrible, horrible noises during that time. It didn't make any noise after, because it finished writing them to the HDD.

I swear, CFW can't come soon enough...

My point is, you didn't have to wave your warranty goodbye for something that your console didn't need.

quick update, i managed to fix the problem and it was the blu-ray laser, it was giving out. i replaced the laser lens and it works like new now
so if anyone else is having these issues it could be the laser lens

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
