What to do if your PS4 unexpectedly ejects discs or repeatedly beeps

Apparently, there’s a number of PlayStation 4’s out in the wild that are unexpectedly ejecting discs or beeping repeatedly as if the eject button has been pressed, even when no disc is inside. I don’t know how widespread this problem is, but apparently it’s serious enough to warrant a “how to” video for Sony.

Should you be the owner of one of these possessed systems, Sony recommends following these instructions.

1. Press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps

2. Wait about 30 seconds for all system lights to shut off

3. Unplug the AC power cable and wait for three full minutes

4. Plug the system in, power it on, and see if it operates normally

If the problems continue, then Sony says your PS4 system should be serviced.
