So I changed a ps4 dvd drive as it wouldn’t eject or accept disks. its the correct drive with same board name (bdp-020) but when I swap over the board the new drive will act just like my old drive, not accepting disks. It reads disks fine with the baord that came along with it( but wont load games as the board isn’t matched. This is the second PS4 I’ve come across with this same problem. I guess its just a faulty board and theres not much I can do to fix it, or can I try to change components in the daughter board?
you would need both specialized hardware and software to rewrite the serials on the board. this becomes very expensive, and unless youre doing it regularily, it is not usually worth the investment
