If your disc gets stuck and the PS5 won’t eject disc, you may need to remove the stuck disc manually. Before you start, you should prepare a Phillips or cross-hatch screwdriver.

Step 1: Shut down your PS5 completely and remove all connected cables from your PS5. Then put the console on a flat and clean surface, and then remove the base.

Step 2: Place your PS5 with the screw hole for the base facing you and the PS logo facedown. At this time, the disc slot should be on your left side.

Step 3: Pull the PS5 cover up and toward yourself gently and carefully to remove the cover.

Step 4: Insert your screwdriver into the screw on the optical drive. There might be a circle of plastic film and you need to remove it.

Step 5: Turn the screw clockwise several times until you can almost view the full disc. Then remove the disc gently.

Step 6: Put the PS5 cover back and connect all the cables again. Then you can turn on the console and continue to play it.
