I confronted the seller B4 opening this thread n I just realised he has deleted his post in FB marketplace along with my conversation with him via FB messenger (didn't even know that's possible). Topkek

hi all,

so i recently bought a used gen 2 DS4 controller. while using it to play games yesterday, it suddenly stops responding. but strangely, only the home button works.

i've tried resetting it via the small hole at the back. it works as usual again after that but stops responding again after a few minutes.

i've also tried connecting it via usb cable to pair it again but didn't last long either.

i've pretty much tried any fixes google showed me.

anyone here experience this issue b4 n managed to fix it?


P.S: i have a gen 1 DS4 (that came with the console) and it does not have this issue at all.

P.P.S: i'm suspecting the controller is an oem unit (by the weight and feel of the buttons/dpads) but even so, does oem controllers have this issue?

is it still under warranty?

How much u paid?

Where did you purchase that “oem” controller?
Regardless, it’s known that these controller tend to fail quite quickly.

Doubt so

Rm130

Facebook marketplace. Really? Sigh. But the seller is convinced it's ori. He's not a trader. Just a kid with way too many controllers. Or at least it seems so...

so you bought a second hand controller? i bet that one was OEM version tho. too bad nothing can be done if like that. but maybe you can try DIY fix it. try change the conductive film or something like that (i forgot what was it called lol). last time my old dualshock 4 (1st gen) got a no response prob. so i just buy that thing online for RM20+ and changed it myself. works for a few moth before the battery kaput

rm130 2nd hand still logical

rm130 new sony ds4 controller?????

sony also cant understand

go youtube learn how to identify fake ds4.

rm170 also can fake

not worth to repair , get a new one from reliable seller
