How do you play disc based games above fw 5.05 without updating firmware

IIRC drives on pre 1100 don’t need matching, newer than 1100 do.

Edit; or around the other way… lol… I can’t remember… hmm…

UPDATE: it's the 10xx and 11xx you don't want cuz of the daughterboard
Whereas 12xx / slims / pros have the renasas bd ic on the motherboard

Hes dropped my ps4 off and said hes looked at my disc drive and it didnt have any board on it and sent me pics of him taking it apart.

He has tried to use a drive that has the board and said it wouldnt fit because of the eject button has like a board that means the disc drive wont fit.

So he has tried two different drives and all they do is show the disc icon flashing when you insert a game.

My drive wouldnt even feed the disc into the drive.

So i guess my only option now is to do what i didnt want to do and download my games and run off a hdd.
