I'm also considering opening the console while having no idea of what to do, since the reader seems pretty inaccessible. Money is tight to send it to repairs (or to buy a new one). The uber lens cleaner forps4 cleans blu-ray, DVD,S CDS and other laser lens systems. So I'm considering trying one of those old CD's with little bristles, but of course I know that those were made to be used on readers with trays, which is not the case with the PS4, but I'm getting desperate. I just rebuilt the console's database, but nothing is working. I wonder if it moved some dust to a sensitive location? I tried to vacuum it again and again to see if it works, I tried with a CD, a DVD, a different game, but no dice. It was working perfectly fine, and all I did was vacuum it with a cheap and not that powerful home vacuum cleaner. I tried it sideways, horizontally, even upside down, but it doesn't recognize the disc. If I try to open the game from the menu, I get the message: "to start this application, insert the disc".

It doesn't spit the disc or do any funny noise, it doesn't give any error message, it just swallows the disc normally, I can hear the little noise of the disc start to spin in there, but it doesn't do anything afterwards. Then I booted the PS4 and voilĂ , the USB ports are back in the game! But then I've found that the disc reader aren't recognizing anything I insert on it. Then I decided to vacuum not only the USB ports, but the whole console, all around it (without opening it). I read that it might be related with dust, so I decided to insert a toothpick and mess a little bit inside the USB ports to see if there was some accumulation. I've found out this week that the USB ports on my OG PS4 were not working anymore.
