 What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today, we're gonna be talking about what to do if your PlayStation 5 will not read desks. Let's get right into this. So the first thing to try if your PlayStation 5 is not reading your desk is to make sure that the desk is clean, that there's no fingerprints or dirt on the desk. Now if the desk is really scratched up, I would recommend trying a different game to see if it will work because chances are if the game is really scratched up, it will not work. So if you did test your PlayStation 5 with other games as well and it still will not read desks, then move on to the next step. If that didn't work, the next thing to try is to reset the console in safe mode. Now that is not going to factory reset the console and you're not gonna lose anything. Basically what that's gonna do is just restart the console within safe mode. To do this, enter safe mode by pressing the power button with the console turned off. You're gonna hold the power button for seven seconds until you hear two beeps. Once in safe mode, you're gonna select option one and that will restart the console. Now once it boots up, try inserting a desk and see if it now will read your desks. Next, if that didn't work, look in and around the desk tray to see if there's any dust or dirt. If there is, you can try cleaning it with compressed air, a vacuum, or anything else. I don't recommend opening up your console and doing that, especially if it's under warranty, but just from the outside, try cleaning it with compressed air or a vacuum. It will hopefully work for you and hopefully will make it read desks. If the disk drive is extremely dirty, it will not read desks. The next option is to rebuild the database. To do this, you're gonna enter safe mode once again but this time you're gonna select option five to rebuild the database. This hopefully will work and it will work for most people if you have to get to this step but hopefully there's not a bigger issue with the disk drive itself. And the very last thing that you can try is a soft reset and once again, this is not scary and you will not lose any of your progress or anything on your PlayStation five. Simply turn off the PS5 and remove the power cable and the HDMI cable. You're gonna leave it for about five to 10 minutes. After that time, you're gonna plug it back in and turn it on and try inserting a game to see if it now will read desks. Now unfortunately, if everything that I did mention did not work for you, there might be a bigger issue with your PlayStation five or also just with the disk drive. Your PS5 might need to have repairs or the disk drive might need to be replaced. Hopefully your PS5 is under warranty but if not, you can take this somewhere to get repaired and there likely is an issue with the disk drive itself and that part might need to be replaced but hopefully one of the other options that I did talk about in this video will work for you. If so, leave a like and a comments and I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.
