Title: anyone willing to sell a ps4 controller for 25 bucks
Post by: Himu on May 05, 2019, 02:56:38 AM
Dual shock 4 broke. The first official controller I've ever owned that has stopped working. Just went poof.

I bought a Hori FPS plus. The analog stick came loose some how.

So I was without a ps4 pad so I went to Walmart and picked up a cheap Hori mini pad. It satisfies, but it's a bit cramped.

I want a new ps4 pad but the damn things cost the same as a game and are rarely cheap even at gamestop. Anyone have any extras?

Have you tried resetting it?

If it just suddenly stopped working, it could just be desynced or whatever.

There's a small hole at the back, next to one of the screws. That's a reset button. You'll need a needle or something equally thin to poke it.

edit: forgot to mention, you need to hold it down for a few seconds.

Nah the touchpad just gets hot. Reset it twice and used three different usb cables.

Apparently that's a common issue when people install some mods and plug the ribbon cable near the touchpad the wrong way around.
But the same symptoms can happen if it just gets loose for whatever reason.

So that might be a way to fix it, worth a shot I guess if it's otherwise dead anyway :yeshrug

Have you been smashing your controller because of blood starved beast, cindi? hmm?

No I haven't. I'm not a controller smasher. He wasn't that bad. I kicked his ass.

I tweeted Sony about it. I have never modded my DS4. Hopefully I can provide evidence to this.

I was joking  :(

I don't think they'll do anything for you if it's not under warranty anymore - especially from their twitter account.
Probably gonna be "yep it's dead, buy a new one lolz".
