Replacing PS4 Disc Drive

Anyone done this themselves?

I've been given a PS4, that has a knackered disc drive (the mechanism to pull the disc in no longer works), and I've seen some replacement disc drives online for £30/£40 which seems reasonable.

However, looking online it seems some PS4's need "re-married" when you change one of the components. Effectively fooling the motherboard that the new drive is the old one?

Is that the case, and is it easy to "remarry" the PS4, or is it all rubbish and you can swap disc drives and they'll just work?
 


Depends, they've got a load of sales and sometimes some real bargains. Currently loads of full retail going for under £8, gt sport is down to £25 etc

Aye as it's sale week but usually if you want a new release on there expect to pay at least a tenner more. More so for the AAA games.

Also the fact his disc drive's fucked means he wont be able to play the games he already has.
