    PS4 Should I replace the lens part only, or the whole drive?...

    Recently bought a second hand PS4 that has trouble reading discs. Some games still work, others don't work at all and give an 'unrecognised disc' message after spinning for a while. I don't think it's the last update - a well known problem by now - that broke it, since none of the workarounds for that - unplugging and booting with controller etc. - seem to help...

    You can hear the disc spinning while the spinning disc icon is in the top right corner. After a while you can hear the PS4 make a sound as if it's going to spit the disc out - but doesn't - after which it spins a little longer and then gives the 'unrecognised disc' message. Sometimes it says 'data corrupted' instead...

    So my question is, should I replace the lens part only, or the whole optical drive?...

    Any help would be appreciated... ^^
