  • Hi, this 'quick version' video series shows me attempting to repair a job lot of faulty PlayStation 4 controllers. I bought 5 of them (+1 part controller) on eBay from the same seller for £70. This video is part 4. If you want the more in depth version please see • Trying to FIX: Joblot ...
    Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
    I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
    Many thanks, Vince.

    It's a decoupling cap. Since both are in parallel you could measure the first one. If it's fore instance around 100nF, you take about 1nF or bit less for the second. If the first one is 1nF or less, you take 10 to 100nF for the second. If it works 100% stable without : never mind until it breaks again. These are just educated guesses. It's usually mentioned in the datasheet of the chip which cap to use.

    Great detective work, sir. I've been watching your videos and it shows your skillset steadily improving (you were quite heavy-handed there in the beginning, as we all were!). A welcome addition to your arsenal would be a thermal imaging camera. They are awesome troubleshooting aids, as you can pinpoint at a glance exactly which component is shorting or drawing too much power.

    Nice work, the caps are called blocking caps usually they are used to block high freq noise and stabilizing voltage placed in the very near of the ICs.(between source + and source gnd) there are 2 in parallel or even more because each one (value) would resonante with different freq. for filtering the noise. there are two main points with smd caps. 1st size matter: that means this is either 1nf or max 10nf because of its size which you will see when your caps arrive. 2nd is that although those caps are very important for the design, but you can just as easily run the device without them at all or put something similar in size. one last tip you can put 2 or 3 different value of caps on top of each other if you are not sure of the value. there are usually about 2 values of smd caps of the same size max.

    I seriously want you to do a fix on my 24" Technika TV. Obviously i want it back once fixed and i'll happily pay all P&P plus more for the job. I've not been subbed too long. If you can make a video out of it though it would be awesome for me to see what you did while fixing it.. I love your video's

    Great work as always vince just wondering where you get your flux from and how did you know the other 2 controllers were not genuine

    If there are two caps right next to each other in parallel of the same physical size you can probably bet they're the same value.

    Did the controller work without connecting the touchpad? Or does it not function without it?

    my controller drains the battery in a week, and recharges extremely slowly, it's the same with another battery, is it a tired capacitor?

    You might want to work in a box. So when the components go ping they cant escape far.
