Anyone else have a problem with their PS4 not reading discs properly? For example when you're playing it just randomly pops up 'close application and remove disc' even though it's a brand new game? And when it does that it takes ages to actually eject the disc...

Any solutions on how to fix it (apart from sending it to Sony?) Apparently a new disc drive is £140 so might as well buy a new console if that's the issue. Had nothing but problems with Sony.

I think it's a weak laser, because sometimes it sounds like it's 'revving up' when I put a disc in if that makes sense. So it's trying, then stopping then trying to read again. But it's weird because it doesn't do it with some games...
