I had a problem where when I put any disc in it would chug a bit then sound like the disc was being relocated then chug a bit more. After this I’d get a pop up saying unrecognised disc.
I tried many things. First I tried completely dismantling my pro to get to and clean the disc drive lens, but it already looked pretty clean and that didn’t make a difference.
Secondly I tried forcing my pro to update in safety mode to rebuild the database as I heard that could help, but again it didn’t.
Next I began messing about with applying pressure above the disc drive with my hand (squeezing the front and back together) as I inserted the disc as some people suggested knocking on the console. This did help often but not 100%.
Lastly I changed my PS4’s orientation, I have mine vertical by default as I have limited space. I changing it to horizontal, this didn’t really help. But turning it upside down vertically 100% fixed my problem. It now reads discs quickly and quietly 100% of the time! I can’t believe something so simple and honestly a little bit stupid has worked so well. Give it a try yourself!
I'm having the exact same problems I tryed a DVD it worked then a couple of try's later a PS4 game worked check it reads DVD if so it thinks the bluray ain't an original and can't support it..I'm going to try unplugging for 24 hours then il update again...

I tried the method I saw on you tube but soon realized that I had a 1200 series unlike the one in the video mine had 2 screws and a different disc drive completely. Is there a way to fix the 1215A model?

Nvm. Fixed it like the day after I posted. Was pretty simple. Works perfect now.
