My disk drive has stopped sucking in bluray disks. Nothing happens when you present the disk to the drive.
I bought a completely new drive and fitted it. But the error persists, it will not accept a disk.
Anybody know why this would happen? It's the Darth Vader model CUH 1216B
Is this a good question?

Could be so many things. Here check this out, different model but maybe a similar problem.

Because if it were bad rollers there’d at least be the mechanical noise of the unit trying to accept the disc. But if nothing at all happens and it feels like the disc is hitting a wall when you try to insert it…the above might be why. This tends to happen it seems when people are impatient and don’t let the disc fully naturally eject. Meaning as soon as enough of it is out to grab they yank it out the rest of the way. Which causes the ps4 to think a disc is still in the drive and so it puts that barrier up.
If you re-used the old ribbon cables you might want to check those for damage. Visually inspect, but also run a continuity test on each set of pads on the ribbon cables.

whats a continuity test?
If you're repairing electronics or attempting to, you will need to know this. Get an electrical multimeter, tool that measures voltage, current both AC and DC, resistance, sometimes capacitance, but they always, always can test for continuity. Continuity simply means that one point of an electrical circuit is connected to another point. Meaning that there is not a break in a wire or the copper "traces" (the built in "wiring") of the circuit board, a blown fuse etc.. If you connect both of the probes of the meter together directly to each other, for example, the multimeter will beep. The meter will also beep and light up if there is a connection between the two points that you touch the probes to, aka continuity. It just makes sure two points of a circuit are connected together as they should be (or finds if there is a short/aka short circuit, as in two points connected when they should not be)
