Is your PlayStation 4 randomly ejecting discs? Here’s a few fixes

This generation of home gaming consoles has so far avoided any issues akin to the Xbox 360’s infamous Red Ring of Death, but that doesn’t mean we’ve escaped all problems.

It turns out that the launch version of the PlayStation 4 has an annoying quirk that affects a number of people with Sony’s latest console. The system, without warning or reason, can eject your discs — sometimes even as you’re playing a game. We’ve researched the issue, and it looks like this happens for a couple of reasons, but they all have to do with the touch capacitive (non-mechanical) eject button on the front of the PlayStation 4. We’ve also got a few tricks for fixing this. But you may still have to contact Sony support.
