A DIY repair guide to fixing a broken antenna on a PlayStation 4 console (Models CUH-1001A, CUH-1001A). If you controllers only work at a certain distance and then stop working or if you are experiencing controller lag with multiple controllers then your antenna might be the culprit. These usually get damaged if the PS4 console is dropped.

What’s the problem with my controller, I have to be EXTREMELY close to the ps4 with my controller, if I am outside of 3 feet it will start to spaz
Its your PS4's antenna thats broken.
Fasttech awesome! I really appreciate the support, the only video explaining this problem u earned a new sub :)
I'm having the same issue however I looked at the antenna and it's fine also PS4 has never been dropped. Is there something else it could be like the Bluetooth/WiFi card itself?
Me too
stealthraider22 Mee to my antenna looks fine you got solutions??
Followed the instructions after getting a new Bluetooth/Wifi Antenna. Worked like a charm!! Used to get lag input and disconnected unless I was literally a cpl inches away from my PS4! Took me less than 10 mins to do! I’m now officially subscribing 🤗
A Trip thank you
omg thanks i having been looking all over you tube for a video like thats
This helped me so much! Thank you! Turns out my antenna was just disconnected. Once I connected it, my controller worked perfectly. Thanks!!
Thank you very much. I accidentally disconnected the antenna when cleaning up my PlayStation.
Same
How do you accidentally do that. It has a screw you physically have to remove
@@Xshadow3405 What are you talking about? He literally pulls the connector 6:20 minutes in the video.
Same
Same and i regret it:((((
Great info! Just bought a T8H, and a PS4 antenna off the site. Only fix I’ve done before is adjust the lens height on my PS2. Feeling confident after watching this 5 times
Thank you very much for your order we will have it shipped out very soon. :)
Ya’ll are fast! Got the tool, but no antenna yet...what a tease lol
@@roninvalkyrie85 It is on its way. Thank you for the order.
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
I'm having controller lag whenever I plug in my headset... hopefully this helps
Yo this happens to me to idk what it is
Lmk if you find sum out
I have the same problem but no one got a answer. I buu a new one same shit
@@jfkjfk8450 dude its the same situation as hes speaking about in the video. The antenna isnt working properly so the signals sent to your controller that turn into sound projected into your headset arent clear causing the breaks in sound
I can confirm it fixed the issue, I was having the same exact problem
This is the video I have been looking for. My console has the same issues, and hopefully, it will be sorted after checking the condition of antena. Thank you so much
Youre welcome please like the video and subscribe
Thank you!! This was such a helpful and straight forward video and I appreciate you guys linking the part too!
This was very helpful. I had the situation where my controllers were disconnecting when I sat on the sofa which is less than 5 metres away from the PS4. Turns out I had knocked the antenna whilst cleaning it out
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Look all over for a decent video for this. And of course you guys have the only well explained ones. Thanks so much
Belzuboss Thank you so much! I do feel like my videos are on another level when it comes to getting into detail and truly showing every step of the process so thank you again for your kind words. Please subscribe and like the video too that lets UA-cam know we are doing the right things.
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
The antenna just needs to be
re-soldered. If you own one look closely, bend the tab, the solder connects the tab with very minor material.
Sony might of meant for this
But then how would people overcharge you for a replacement?
All you have to do is just add some Sauter and re due the sauter it takes like no skill what so ever to do cost me nothing to fix mine works 100 percent now but thanks to this man for showing me this video and guiding me in the right direction

Fasttech, please read my comment below posted on 6/6/21. Any help or
Advice I’d appreciated!!! 👍
My controller connects fine but when I have my headset connected the audio cuts out if I’m not sitting super close to the PS4 and also my controller does lose connection when I’m in a game and my player starts turning anyways do you think this fix would fix my problems?
I have the same problem with my wireless headset and my controller sometimes lags to respond
Yea this happens to me to don’t know why
Try this behind your control there’s a tiny hole connect your usb cable from your control into your PS4 make sure your controller is charging after that get a pin or something tiny and poke the hole hold it for about 10 seconds and it’ll reset hopefully this helps
Jason Roscoe hey bro i have the same fucking problem and am starting to think is the ps4 because i got a controller and it keeps on happeing have you found a solution to this problem ?
Same problem using the ps4 wireless headset HELP
The wireless antenna has snapped in half, I’ve twisted it together and it’s works, should I keep it this way or should I get a replacement ?
I mean if it works keep it
you living on the edge bro salute
@@newy0rkundead I swear 😂😂
My controller has loads of lag and my audio cracks and my controller randomly disconnects even since I dismantled my PS4 I watched your video on how to dismantle it
I know the solution worked for me when I was cleaning my PS4 “using his video” when you lift up the power supply box thing where the wire for the antenna leads to mine got unplugged from the motherboard I plugged it back in and put everything back and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps😊 if you still need it lmao
I Have the same exact problem you’re describing, did this video help?
You either broke your antenna or left it disconnected while disassembling your console.
Yo same
Hi there , I receive some input lag but it isint too bad , however I notice alot of audio lag/cutouts when playing games on my ps4 using bluetooth connection . Gameplay works fine but audio cutouts are quite common. Would replacing the bluetooth antenna help ? I've checked it out and it looks fine and working to me .
I am using my dualshock for with my PC and get inout lag the farther I move my controller away from it. It's also more noticable when I put my hand on the back of the controller. Can the antenna inside the controller be modified?
Great video and directions on how to accomplish this!
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Thank you so much
You are welcome. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel
My controller doesnt connect does my wifi but when i use the wired connection it works so u think it will work if i use a wired controller
No
It does. Older ps4 models have wired controller mode but it's honestly such a pain in the ass to play with a wired controller
Same will happen if instead of wifi you used a wired connection
This is a great video, I just wish someone made one this detailed and clear for the Ps4 pro.. I'm trying to replace my bluetooth antenna and I cant see to find ANY videos with the PS4 pro .
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
My controller was working fine before I dismantled my PS4
i have exactly the same issue i cleaned my ps4 and now controllers dont work can you tell me what you have done to fix it cause im close to buying a new ps4
Me too have you found a fix?
Yes same im gonna try to fix it tommorow and ill let you know if it works
I know the solution worked for me when I was cleaning my PS4 “using his video” when you lift up the power supply box thing where the wire for the antenna leads to mine got unplugged from the motherboard I plugged it back in and put everything back and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps😊
Same problem cleaned and opened my ps4 now After cleaning its causing problems with the controllers
Thank you very much my friend you helped me l lot ♥️

My controller disconnected from my PS4 and it works on my cousins ps4 but it won’t work for my PS4 is that the Antenna or something else
Hey, thanks for the video. I have this issue and I have tried another controller, so it's definitely the issue with the console now :(
My question is that my WiFI is perfect, never drops and have good solid connection. It's only the controller disconnecting from further back and even close up sometimes. Is this definitely the issue with the antenna in my case?
thanks!
This is a wifi issue;
Yes its most likely the antenna (90%)
Hi mate, I've just got this problem yesterday. Like you my contoller wont connect over 1 meter and have lag but the wifi is perfect. Did you change your antenna and if so did this work?
@@andrewhenderson4462 Yep
Nice, it's looking hopeful then, did you just replace the antenna or did you do the mod?
I think I have the same issue with my ps5, do you guys know if you can fix it
Thank you so much for this well detailed video!! I thought my PS4 was done for after I opened it to clean it
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
My antenna cable was just disconnected I had to connect it again and it worked fine
@@Lussul0101 Without Delay and lagyy?
Youre the best indian tech supporter
Im the best, period.
So Ik this video is old but when I’m playing fortnite my controller just spaz out and my mic get laggy and it happened with 3 controllers even the new on I bought so could u help me to what might be the problem and what should I buy and ( my wifi box is next to my PS4 I play in Ethernet)
I know the solution worked for me when I was cleaning my PS4 “using his video” when you lift up the power supply box thing where the wire for the antenna leads to mine got unplugged from the motherboard I plugged it back in and put everything back and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps😊
Thank you so much for helping me out with all my problems with my ps4
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Does this help because I have to face my controller towards the PS4 for it to work, if I don’t face it, it would take over n like control on its own and lag
Hi, my controller only disconnects if I have the “connected to the internet” setting on. If that’s not on then my controller won’t disconnect itself. I opened up my ps4 like the video and the Bluetooth receiver was plugged in properly. Would you still recommend changing the whole receiver?
Yes
Two words,
THANK YOU
How does it even work? Is the aluminum part giving out the waves?
Thanks a lot I just repaired my ps4
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Looks like I must of damaged my Antenna when I was cleaning out my ps4, I believe I was too rough with it. So I having controller connection issues. Just bought a replacement and hopefully it will fix it.
Best of luck with your repair
@@fasttechvideo thank you, it should be a easy repair as I found the thermal paste replacement pretty easy todo.
Theoretically could you just re-solder the joint for the antenna?
Yes
Do you guys ship overseas/internationally?
Yes we ship wordwide
This would work for the destiny 2 edition PS4 right? It’s model number is cuh-1215a
Yes it will but the antenna is slightly different
I have this same problem but I have a ps4 slim how can I fix it
Mate I have a problem with my ps4 when I am playing it works fine and then my control just turns off what do you think that would be I have replaced the battery and it still does it
Thank you For the Help!!
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Hi my signal is bad can it affect my ps4 controller and ps4 because it won't turn on my ps4 thank you for your help from Nicola
I have seen antenna's for sale that say PS4 500gb. I have the 1T. Is there a difference between antenna's or something? Also, I didn't seem to have connection issues until I downloaded a certain game. Is there any possibility that a game could have messed with the hardware or something?
Mine was never dropped and the controllers disconnect. So what could be the issue?
Does the new peice come fast and work perfectly?
The speed of delivery depends on your location and the shipping option you choose.
Hello do you ship to croatia? Thanks
just btw, the internal screws are SECURITY torx, a regular bit won't work
Thank you idk how many hours I spent trying to use a regular bit to open it and couldn’t find noone metioned that you needsd a security torx except you.
Does this also fix like my wifi is extremely slow on my os4 when downloading games but uts not my actual internet speeds because I've tested they're way faster uts something to do in the ps4 will this fix the wifi speeds like I get like 1 to 3 mb per seckjnd when downloading a game doesn't go go higher
This working for CUH-1004A? If I purchase one I mean
Would a $10 antenna from amazon worl or is there like a special type i would need?
I have a Ps4 CUH-1116A, i cant find an Antenna for this Model in the internet. Can i use the Ps4 CUH-1001A / CUH-1115A-Antenna for my Ps4 ? Please help
Does the antenna have anything to do with how far my ps4 reaches WiFi wise ? Because I have a Xbox and in the same spot the ps4 is in the Xbox reaches further I know it could be because they’re both different systems with different parts but the Xbox reaches way more further than the ps4 for example it says 90% on the Xbox and on the ps4 it says 20%
You deserve a sub
My controller just won’t connect to my ps4 what’s wrong
You are a life saver
Bougt a new antanna follewd instructions which were a great help as Now I have the skill to replace the antenna howevber still having disconnect issues and lag. is it possible that it is the controller itself?
Try replacing the controller's battery.
Thanks I think that will be my next step
I've now replaced the battery and so far I have had no disconnect issues. I think that the battery was burnt out or not charging properly due to the USB cable I was using to charge it. So for anyone reading this and having similar issues ....Try replacing the battery first and also use usb charging cable specifically for PS4 controllers. Process of elimination, but It may just be something as simple as that. Thanks again you may have just saved me 40 bucks.
You are welcome I am glad it worked for you.
Helo can you explain
My ps4 can play but sometime my ps4 and not connet if I restart ps4 it's ok but sometime all control not connet and wifi turn off.. want to give connet control here restart ps4 if restart cannot work
The wire came undone for me that's why is wasn't working, great video btw very helpful.
Stupid question, but - will removing the motherboard/power supply erase any game data?
No
Does this apply to a ps4 pro?
would you always need a replacement cord even if it isn’t broken but it still won’t connect
Hi, I see the two solder points and a cable going through one and not touching the other point, is the cable supposed to go through both? Or can I solder both of the points together?
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Hey what did you do to fix this? I’m thinking of finding a way to connect them back it it works
Thank u so much I really do appreciate u... I was looking for a yt video that can help me with
My antennas sotter isn't broken but the metal is slightly bent and I've been having these issues. Should I replace the antenna or try re bending it back to shape?
Did that work?
bend it back VERY carefully
Is there some type of special connection to connect a new antenna to the motherboard can't really see how he connected it or do you just push it in?
You just push it in, but be very careful cause you might break the solder joints in the tiny plug.
I did that, and now I have to buy another one.
My antenna is just bent a bit do I bend it into shape !
Only if the solder connection is not broken.
Fasttech can i re-solder it if the connections broken?
So I pushed in the new wire into the motherboard, and it STILL disconnects.
Do I need a solder gun? Cause I don't have one.
How do I know if I need to replace?
My controller lags and the voice breaks if I move the controller while playing. Is this antenna's problem? Does Sony still provide repairs for broken BT antennas in 2020?
Shivansh Dixit yes and no
What kind of tools is he using for the screws?
Check the description box.
So about 2 weeks ago me and my buddy were playing madden 20, and all of a sudden it overheated. I've since took it apart cleaned it and got it running but now my controller wont connect. Would it overheating like that cause the antenna to break or fry?
does this only fix controller lag, or could a faulty antenna also be the cause of
my ps4 pros wifi connectivity issue
This is a good ass question. I need this answer. I have a brand new ps4 pro and it disconnects every half hour to 45 mins
Th3BeastMastR yeah exactly what happens to mine
b you bought yours new too bro?
Th3BeastMastR yeah mine was new. i got it from someone, but i was the first to open it and turn it on and what not
Same i need to know if this fixes that because my PS4 pro keeps kicking me out of mid games and disconnecting from my WiFi every few mins.
this might be a weird place to ask, but i'm not sure if my wireless antenna is my problem. i have my playstation in my room, and my dad has his own ps4 in another room. they are fairly close, separated only by our bathroom. for about 6 months i never had any issues, but last week all my controllers stopped syncing to my ps4, and will automatically connect to his if it's plugged in. i didnt even realize this was happening until i went through 3 different controllers, and once they've connected to my dads ps4 they seemingly refuse to connect to mine, even with a usb cord and my dads ps4 completely unplugged and turned off. i have one controller that has never been connected to his system that works fine on my ps4, but his system has to be unplugged for me to use it. does this sound like an antenna problem? i just assumed thst my connection was so weak it just automatically connected to the other one, but i could be totally wrong here
To reset a controller press and hold the PS button and the share button for about 10-30 seconds till the controller starts flashing then try connecting to yours again. Do you and your dad both have the same model PS4.
Did this with a cuh1001a and the signal is still spotty at 4 feet. Any ideas?
hey, I bought one of the Antennas from your shop and installed it the same way you did it in the video. I'm still experiencing the same problems with controller connection and lag
KomotoVsGaming May I have your order number please?
Fasttech my order number is #01445
KomotoVsGaming check the solder connection on the antenna we sent you. It’s possible it got damaged during shipping. If the solder connection is good try a different controller.
Fasttech it seems to be fine, honestly I can’t tell if it’s damaged at all (if the solder points are supposed to be connected or have like a tiny gap in between them. Different controllers give the same feedback
Is a ps4 pro different? Mine just randomly disconnects and only way to get it going again is to restart my ps4 plus my controller does it sometimes to. I know its not my WiFi because i do a speed test and its fine.
The PS4 Pro has 2 antennas. If one of them is broken it could cause connection issues.
@@fasttechvideo thanks for the reply, so the first ones on top I think I seen it in another one of your videos ps4 power supply change do you know where the other one is located, if I using an ethernet cable and I'm get this problem is it probably something else? Thanks for the help.
Can we just re-sodder it back?
My PS4 does not connect to wifi or the controller. Tried connecting the controller to my phone, it connects and works fine. However, I tried connecting the controller through the USB cable to PS4 it does not connect. Do you think I need to replace the antenna on the PS4? I took it to the Sony service center, they want to replace the whole motherboard, which seems unnecessary to me after watching this video.
Hey, I’m having the exact same issue, did you ever get it fixed? If so what did you do?
I hqve a issue where if my headset is plugged into the ps4 controller it cuts audio out and lags the controller in game. So I bought a brand new controller and still the exact same issue. Do you hqve any idea why this maybe happening to me?.
Same did u fix the issue!
@@elijah9159 it was the Bluetooth antenna inside the ps4 console
I cant open d power box, is kind of connected to d board... Cuh 1115A is my model...
I have an issue where my PS4 will disconnect from Wi-Fi AND Bluetooth at the same time, does anyone know what could be the cause of that? I haven’t opened the console yet, but would there be a reason why both wi-fi & Bluetooth would both be disconnecting at the same time?
Do i have to use one of those screw drivers?
Yes
Thanks to this video my power connector doesn’t connect anymore.
No, thanks to YOU, your power connector doesn't connect anymore. Just because you did something wrong doesn't make it the video's fault.
I followed the video, wiggled it until I pulled it out. Now it won’t stay connected when I reconnect it. If it’s an important component then you should have a detailed section on its removal. But cool, glad to see you’re defensive as opposed to providing help.
Did you forget that this video is free? Besides you didn't even buy the part from us so I don't owe you anything. I "should have a detailed section on its removal", that is a laughable statement. That is like a homeless person walking in to a restaurant demanding the menu be changed and then walking out.
Fasttech I didn’t forget, I’m just pointing out that you made a shitty video that you receive ad revenue from and when someone has a problem your immediate response is “YOU did something wrong”.
So it has to be exactly the same model? What happens if I put a different one?
Can I somehow change it to where it will pick up both 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi signals? A lil late ik
If I remove the wifi antenna, will this affect the controllers? Will it cause any other issues. I have to do this because the facility where I work cannot allow any internet connection at all. Please advise.
1 yes i think Bluetooth will stop working 2 why dont you just not connect it to the internet
@@wackelpudding0_0 the problem is I work in a forensic unit and the inmates know how to hack passwords. It's happened in the past where they have enabled internet by hacking the password. So I thought I should remove the antenna altogether. This is why we can't have nice things.
@@milhousejoshi wait so your Playstation is where you work?
@@milhousejoshi also i know a bit about that stuff and i am not aware that it is possible to hack your device if it isnt connected to the internet, even if they do actually manage to crack your passwords (which you can prevent by making yoir password more complicated and longer) they wouldnt be able to manage your settings, only your account
@@milhousejoshi also sorry if i am misunderstanding something you are saying, english is not my mother language
My controller isn't connecting to my Ps4 at all and I've tried everything( rebuild database, Initialize) . After about a week of playing and installing the new update my controller wont connect and it wont re download the update (error Error SU-41283-8). Is it my antenna? I don't know whats wrong with it but its on the fresh new Ps4 start screen and my controller wont even acknowledge the fact i have a cable plugged up. Plz someone let me know how to fix it.
Idk but maybe you can call sony
@@SageLaatHetLukken i mean you could but from what ive heard they will just tell you to buy a new one or send you an almost broken one
Is there a difference in the antenna types between the CUH-1001A and CUH-2215B?
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
My controller doesn't connect i tried different method will this be the problem
I had switched my thermal paste and must have forgot to reconnect it thanks
My ps4 cant not connecting wifi and controller is not sync at all even not with cable
Thanks for this vid man I checked mine and it wasn’t plugged in plugged it in and remote started working like nothing
Did you change the widget like the video and it works fine every usual or not?
Both my controllers suddenly stopped connecting. I’ve tried everything. Would the antenna possibly be the issue? All I get is a blinking blue/white light.
Hooked On Smallies If they are not connecting at all this is most likely a bluetooth chip issue.
Fasttech I’ve even tried connecting through multiple micro usb cords as well. Would it still be a Bluetooth issue?
@@TheKirchart2 Yes
Fasttech ok I’ll look into replacing that. Thank you
the one on my ps4 looked good but the new one def worked
I'm facing issue when connecting to wifi the ps4 freeze and lags but if I played offline it works perfectly!
So it's the same problem?
Does your controller have issues connecting?
to me at any moment the playstation no longer recognizes any pads. if I connect it via usb it loads it but in any case the pad does not turn on or control the playstation. could the antenna be the problem?
Most likely a defective bluetooth chip or possibly the antenna.
