Chosen Solution
I have a ps4 slim and I took it apart a while ago to clean it and now the power button is jammed. It’s it wiggly and doesn’t click. I’ve been turning it on by the disc button but yesterday I took it apart again to try to fix the power button and now it won’t even turn on anymore and I cant insert a disc into my ps4 there is like this black plastic piece that is block the disc entrance. Please help me I’m scarred that I might have broken it
While the bottom panel is off, see if you can gently push down on the power button’s clicker (tiny amber disc). I find that the T9 security torx driver used to remove the bottom panel makes for a wide implement with which to push it. If there’s no pronounced click, you can just replace that TSW-001/2/4 board with any of the variants. You can find them for $3-4. If it seems clicky enough, then it’s the power/eject button. I had one recently unseat while cleaning the bottom panel. It took me a minute to figure out how to seat it back properly, but it’s pretty easy, even without any tools. I was once placing an order on aliexpress and ordered a few different PS4 power and eject buttons, so they can be had if you look for them.
