Enjoy the stability performance.

EDIT: It weighs in at about 360MB and is likely preparing the system for the larger 5.50 beta coming soon.

Didn't the Sony big wig say that we would be able to stop asking about name changes this year? Crossing my fingers that it finally happens. (in 5.50 i mean)

I'm just wondering if it will fix the issue with my ps4 taking almost five minutes to boot up.

Can I get this, but it makes my PS4 now eject discs on its own?

Also the fan. I need a post it note to make that quieter. Thanks!

Got you fam!

Tighten the manual-eject screw
Your PlayStation 4 has a special way of ejecting discs if, for some reason, the button doesn't work or the hardware won't power up. This comes in the form of the manual-eject screw. But this screw can sometimes come loose, which the PS4 will interpret as a technician trying to get the disc out of the system.

To do this, first you need to remove the glossy panel on your PS4:

  1. Unplug the PS4 console.
  2. Set it on a table or clean surface in front of you so that the eject button is on the left and the glossy surface is facing up.
  3. Grasp the glossy panel with your hands and palms like in this picture.
  4. Using your entire hand, apply pressure into your palms to slide the glossy panel up and away from you.
  5. Lift the panel up and set it aside.
It's time to locate the screw. Here's an image to guide you:

Do you have one to make it stop ejecting discs?

I added it, it is quoted in there. Tightening the eject screw (now it does not tighten like a regular screw, it will not get more 'snug', but turn it a few times in the direction stated)... and it has not done it to me in over a year and a half since.

The PS4 is whisper quiet ever since I cleaned the fan and dust out after 2 years from launch when it got a little louder. Mine was not that dusty at all, but even the minute cake of it on the fan will make it louder. This was also over a year and a half ago.
