After disassembling and reassembling my mother's old PS4 to clean out the dust and replace the thermal paste, the console suddenly suffered from the controller frequently disconnecting. I'm glad I was able to look at this video because it helped to remind me where I messed up. As I recall, when I was putting the system back together, I was a little bit too rough on handling the Bluetooth cable and probably slightly damaged it along the way. I just decided to buy a replacement Bluetooth cable to spare myself the headache of fixing the console's original Bluetooth cable. Thanks for the vid, dude!
I love you so much. I'm literally so happy. Me and my sister are going to cry. We looked at video after video, article after article, REDDIT POST AFTER REDDIT POST. And then your video showed up, the a godsend. Thank you so, so, so much. We can't thank you enough. Like, seriously. I thought we would have to factory reset our PS4 or have to purchase a new one. You saved us!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, again. WE LOVE YOU
Extremely helpful video, not only did I figure out what was wrong with my Playstation by finding this, but I was able to successfully do the repair myself by following along. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much your the only youtuber that helped and it worked . My one was just disconnected when I dis assembled my ps4 to clean the fan filter box thing that collects all the dust. HUGE THANK YOU
Bro you thanks I fixed it using your tutorial you saved me money there's was dirt on the connector I was having this problem for a year button lag delay then it got worse got disconnected every five minutes now I'm been playing with no button input lagg you saved my career thanks bro
I recently bought a new headset and the audio kept cutting out and I was concerned because I paid $240. I have even tried plugging it in different controllers and still got the same results.will this antenna replacement fix that problem?
Bro you are a life saver thank you so much! After opening my ps4 controllers were laggy and disconnecting and I was going crazy thought I broke something on my motherboard. Turns out I broke the second solder point when I straighten the antenna and I didnt even realise it. I just wanted it to look pretty! Thanks again!!!
Brother you are a lifesaver. I thought I was ganna have to pay money to bring my new (pre owned) ps4 in to get repaired but this video came in clutch! Thank you! I’m lucky I had a slightly busted ps4 to pull the wire from 😂😅
thanks dude my wifes bluetooth connection has been completely turning off requiring a restart to fix every time. This fixed the issue completely youre amazing.
THANKS, IT WORKS! Here I bought from online shop; 1. Antenna 16 dbi with connector RP-SMA Female (Choose Mini PCIe Model, Don't choose NGFF Model) 2. Cable UFL (Male) to RP-SMA (Male) with minimum length 25 cm.
you’re a legend, i’ve been looking for this video for so long. I cleaned my ps4 and after i reconnected it the controller wouldn’t connect and i knew it was a problem of the ps4 and not the controller, and it was indeed, the little cable was disconnected🤦🏻♂️
Thank you very much, I didn’t find any other video talks about this issue so the players who had to face this issue thought the problem is from the controller or the ps4, but as we see it’s not from either one of them.
You are a lifesaver bro i squeezed the pins together its been working like a charm ill buy a new one if it starts acting up now i know how to get to it.
Thnks man it helped me a lot to check my antenna i had somewhat same issue when i opend the back i found at the antenna side it was little bit bended and one point probably the vcc pin pf antenna was been desoldered from the point so i just soldered it and boom!!!! Its working like charm
Thank you very much I tired 3 controller and they kept disconnecting and were tried everything we got knew ones and then we found you, like and sub deserved
Thank you for bringing this video to my eyes, I gave my ps4 a deep clean and had no idea tht I was the Bluetooth antenna and I realized I broke it by accident now I’m waiting on my new antenna to arrive. Thank you
Hey I gotta say what an amazing video! I just got a PS4 and I think I broke the solder when cleaning it, I have no idea. But seeing how you explained it so well I know what needs to happen next. Thanks a lot!!
I had the same issue. I checked my antenna and the bit of solder in between the plates was busted apart. Melted it back together with my iron and it worked perfectly.
Did a repair/ cleanout of my PS4 and put it back together and suddenly the controller didn't work! I assumed I forgot to plug something in but didn't know what. Used this guide to find it. Thanks. (Controller works fine now)
Bro thank you so much. I bought a refurbished PS4 and had to be very close to my game just to play. because the controller was keep disconnecting I look inside after watching your video and saw the Bluetooth wire unplugged
Great triage description and instructions to fix. Just got a refurbed ps4 from GameStop, it had this issue and I fixed it now. Btw, I couldn’t get the power supply clip unplugged so I just left it plugged in...not sure if safe, but for me it was safer than possibly breaking the clip. Thanks!
Great fix Suvio @ Autrica Ltd! I don't think there is any other video out there which addresses this problem. Everyone else talks only about resetting the controller etc. Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot it worked for me although the old antenna looked fine, I was lucky to have another one on the side, for days I thought it was a problem with the controller 😅
Thank you very much sir, it really helped me to fix the problem. No one on youtube made a video concerning the console, everyone started to reset the controller etc. But notjing helps me even though i got a brand new controller but for no avail.

I have a PS4 but my does not do none of that but my controller turns off every time I turn on my PS4 I try to turn them back on and it just beeps the controller just flashes with lights on I I try to share button and pressing on the same time still doesn’t work what’s a called I tried everything I tried to restart it it still doesn’t work my controller just blinks my consul is working good but it loses connection to it turns on it’s on but I don’t know what’s wrong with it do you pay for money to just asking because I’m a kid
Mine has two pieces inside however I’m still having the issue, I can’t seem to find anything (even tweezers) small enough to “pinch” things together. Any other ideas?

Very interesting video.. but how does the cable connector break in the first place? I have the same problem, but my console has never been opened - can the connector break all by itself?
Im wondering if this will help me as well! Just done a clean and thermal paste and the contrller is not working properly, and the headset when connecting to yhe controller cuts the sound, (jerky sound, like on and off) 😞😞😞 The sound though works fine when playing through TV direct, 😢😢😢😢
@@Spillmongo If i was really close to it yes (within about 2 feet) but farther apart it would connect, but drop almost immediately. Even when plugged in the PS4 controller uses wireless unless you specifically switch the mode to wired. After plugging the connector back in it is working normally. I did have a buddy who's kid pulled his ps4 off his entertainment unit by a charging controller and it took a nose dive and broke the small wire that attaches the metal bit to the antenna wire and caused the same effect. I was able to solder it back together for him and bring it back to working functionality. between videos like this and tronicsfix I was able to buy a broken ps4 for $60 and repair it for $15 worth of parts and 4 hours worth of time to get a new to me system and start enjoying a console platform i had missed out on since my ps2 went full belly up many years ago.
So would you happen to help a pleb out.. my console won't boot if my wireless communication wire is plugged in🤔 I'm at a loss, is some of my icus damaged or something?
God bless your soul , I was freaking out cause no other video mentioned it could be the ps4 and that little bluetooth wire was disconnected

I spent 3 hour trying to find out what’s wrong then watched this video and then found my problem
I dont have that bluetooth cable
