Ps4 Unrecognised Disk. With new laser deck.
Hi ive looked on here already but not sure if my exact problem has come up before. Ive had my ps4 since 2015 and about a year ago it stopped reading disks. Sometimes it might read a DVD movie but very rarely.
I finally decided to fix the problem and stripped it down. I figured a new laser deck (KEM-490) Was probably what was needed. And it was cheaper than buying a whole new drive. So ive swapped it out but im still getting the exact same problem.
The disk doesnt spin at all. All that happens is the laser goes back and forth a few times. The disk readjusts and the laser tries again and then stops. At no point does the disk start to spin up.
Now ive taken the cog mechanism skrews off and removed the magnatised disk peice that holds the game in place and whilst its trying to read taken the disk out the drive manually and there seems to be no laser coming out of the lense? Is this normal? Ive read other places it swaps between blue and red when a disk first goes in.
I just dont know what to try next. Perhaps a faulty cable or the board attached to the bluray drive has gone wrong somewhere? Im at my limit of my skill level/knowlege of this kind of thing here. But i was pretty sure some kind of light should be emmiting from the lense?
Any help would be very much appreciated as im sittibg on about 8 or 9 games that i havent really played and hard pressed to afford the high prices of digital copys of games.
Thanks.

Here is a pic just for reference
Ok. I have factory reset it and rebuilt the database. I just dont have the skills for microsoldering. I can just about solder speaker wires! I do have a multimeter but ive only used it for basic thibgs when i used to be a signal technitian on the railway. (Voltage measurements on relays and ohms on testing on track circuits) not got the first idea what i would need to check.
Might just give up and hopfuly the ps5 comes out xmas 2020 or buy a second hand one and just swap my hdd over.
Thanks for your help though, just bugs me being beaten by the %#*@ thing lol. I dont like to leave things unsolved.
