Replacing the thermal paste:
It may look a bit intimidating if you're not used to messing with hardware, but it's relatively straightforwards. Just a good set of screwdrivers and always remember to discharge static electricity before touching the internals of the console (just touch a wall before opening it, it's enough). To help clear the fan, you can buy anti-static brushes or a canned air spray. They're cheap and you can find them in electronics stores or Amazon. The disc ejecting is a problem with heat. The button on the OG is too sensitive and the slightly expanding of the case due to heat is enough to "press" it. It seems that is related to one of the rubber feet, that's why Ka-pi96 fixed his problem, he just allowed the rubber foot to get more ventilation (expands less) and also it has an extra direction to expand. However (for both of you), there is a better option to solve this. To sum it up, you can either tighten up a screw inside the PS4 (you'll open it to clean anyway) or you can remove the problematic rubber foot. The link has complete video instructions. I am also assuming your PS4 is out of warranty or else you would just get a replacement with Sony. |
Thank you and yea, it's out of warranty. I give this a shot when I get home.
