Ps5 wont take discs + beeping and then buzzing sound every 25 seconds

Hello, my PS5 is stuck in safe mode and is showing the error SU-101312-8. The disc drive keeps beeping and then buzzing as if ejecting a disc even though there's none inside. I've already tried checking the drive and also replacing it, but the problem persisted.

I then checked the daughterboard and found that fuse F501 has no continuity. Additionally, the middle pins of the black connector that connects the daughterboard to the motherboard are shorted, along with two capacitors next to it. Should I try replacing the fuse and the capacitors? I don't know their values, though.

Edit: it's a CFI-12XX

Hi!

That error means that it cannot detect the blu-ray disk drive. So it is related to the daughterboard (or cables but less likely when it’s shorted).

So yes, you do need to replace the capacitors and fuse on the PCB. Since you cannot replace the PCB (married) you do need to replace the components on there.

Please keep us posted if that worked or not!

Thanks!
