Why is my PlayStation not reading any discs?
There may be a problem with the firmware that runs your PS4 if it still can’t accept or read discs. Try rebooting your console into safe mode and selecting the Rebuild Database option. If that doesn’t work, try the Reinstall System Software option available in safe mode. Clean the interior of your PS4 disc drive.

What should I do if my PS3 disc is not spinning?

How to fix PS3 file system not responding?
Put a little isopropyl alcohol on the disc, and use another clean and dry microfiber cloth to gently rub the alcohol across the disc surface.

Why won’t the Blu-ray drive work on my Sony console?
The Blu-ray drive is defective, and it needs to be replaced. If the console is under warranty, send it back to Sony and they will repair the console.
