@@jonaptss9720 they keep blinking. in the end of the video you can that only 1 led turned on (the number 1 for the first controller) when they guitar isn't sync all 4 lights will blink for 20-30 seconds
Dude just tested your method to revive the PS3 guitar and it works like never anything happend. My guitar was just junk for a few years. A few days ago i wanted to give it another try and then i found your video.Anyone that has the problem i wil send them to your video. Finally a video about this problem that really works. BIG thanks to you :):):):):)
wicked solution, happened to have a 220uFd Cap rated for 16V hanging out on an old PC part. To anyone curious the voltage rating of the capacitor needs to be AT LEAST 10V but is certainly allowed to be higher. Solution worked imediately, thank you!
Worked fantastic, I had almost no problems. (the ps button rubber part popped out but I got it back on) I spent 8 dollars (tools and components) I have literally no experience soldering. Just wanted a few how to vids here on RUclips. And an hour later I'm playing Guitar. Thanks so much dood.
Awesome. Just finished the repair. Works perfect. For information sake the old 220 uF capacitor had a capacitance of 243.0 uF. Replaced it with a 220uF 25v capacitor. Powered it up and now it synced and allowed data input to the PS3.
2022 you're still real guitar hero man! luckly to buy 2nd hand ps3 guitar hero w/ dongle here in japan for only 18 bucks but there's a problem in syncing and I've tried and it is working bro! さすがですね！！
Just wanted to say thank you! Pulled out my guitar from 10 years ago as my son is now old enough to play (8). It did not sync with the dongle so I searched online and came up on your video. I order the capacitor, took the old one off, solder the new one, and it synced right away!! Thank you again!!!
This solution worked for me. Both the guitar controller and dongle would blink like normal, but they would not sync. The original capacitor was oozing black stuff. Changed it with a 220uF 10V cap from an old alarm clock and now the controller syncs. Thank you very much for making this video!
So proud of myself, thank you for giving me the confidence to get started and I have to say it was doable and accessible, I did it in thirty minutes, the capacitor was faulty after all these years and was no longer synchronizing... here it is resurrected and it's great. I recommend using the braid to remove the tin as well as a third hand which is very useful for holding the printed circuit.
I just wanted to say thank you. I decided to try this before throwing the guitar away, and it works. For any other amateurs out there, I used a slightly higher voltage capacitor, and it now works perfectly
I have to say I was sceptical but this fix was spot on, thank you so much for posting. A 30p capacitor saves the day and now we can play Guitar Hero once again.
Replaced capacitor in both of my guitars. Now there both working perfectly. This guy knows his stuff and this is truly the real fix for all of those having sync problems. Thankyou for posting this video. I thought I was going to have to just throw away guitars because I could not find a fix. My kids thank you too..:)
Thanks man. You are indeed a genius. Helped me fix the guitar that I thought I would have to throw away!! You saved my old game and guitar that my son wanted to play with. On another note, I didn't have the exact 220 ufd capacitor, but I used a. 100 ufd one that I had handy and it just worked like a charm. Good job speedbump! You video will help people fix their guitar for a long time!
This worked perfectly! Really appreciate the info. I got 5 capacitor off Amazon for $5. I did not remove the existing - soldered the new one on the bottom. Boom!
You should go remove it. Aged capacitors leak and can corrode your board. You may just be able to wiggle it back and forth until it snaps off instead of heating up the iron
Thanks alot Brother, it worked. Pretty stoked that I don't have to buy a guitar again. Haven't played in over 2-3 years and felt the urge and it wouldn't work. Did your fix, cost me less than a buck for the capacitor and literally 10-15 minutes of work. Good gouge! And I think your theory of leaving batteries in for long period of time was what killed the cap. Respectfully, KosmoSVT
Holy hell! It worked! I know this is old news but in 2018 guitar controllers for 360 and PS3 systems are hard to find. Thanks for posting this and allowing me to once again enjoy Guitar Hero Metallica!
It works, I had to actually clean up the playstation button as some sticky liquid went on it during the soldering, the button was sticky. A bit of isopropyl did clean it nice, and all is working now. Thanks
I just did it and it worked for me, now I can use the guitar, the only issue that I have now is that the Yellow and Blue are swapped in GHWT, I'm digging to see if I can find a fix. Thanks again for this video, I think you saved many guitars.
IT F*CKING WORKS! You've just saved another guitar! Stopped playing about an year ago because mine wouldn't sync properly (stuck on connect/disconnect). I used a 220uF 16v cap btw. Thanks man!
I confirm that this method works! A big thank to you good man! Just repaired my guitar. I used 220uF 35v capacitor which is bigger and it has different distance between legs so it cannot be placed snug on board. I had to leave considerable length of legs and then I bent them so capacitor would lay on its side. But there is a catch: the guitar case has a standoff for the screw that goes near the capacitor and I had trouble closing the case. If you use non-standard size capacitor, it is best not to solder it directly but solder just the wires and then solder capacitor to the wires so you can put the capacitor away from the standoff. Also I had one of the solder pads peeled off. I have decent solder skills and I know it wasn't my fault. Probably the connection error was not caused by bad capacitor, but by this peeled pad. I checked the old capacitor and it was ok. In the end I had to also put an additional wire to restore the PCB trace. All is fine now.
Thanks a lot dude! You're a fcking genius! My guitar was useless for months, and now thanks to you I was able to fix it by changing the damaged capacitor and now it works again as new!!!! The music gods bless you!!!!
Hi! I just want to make sure that I have the same syncing problem as you Your guitar was blinking like "connected, disconnected, connected, disconnected, and so on...." ? I just want to make sure before trying that :( Thanks :)
Very Important! If this doesn't work, it means a button is stuck. try to sync your guitar while a button is pressed! Won't work! Could be a botched strum repair!
Big thanks! Just fixed mine. For those who are yet to do it: mine was keep trying to connect as controller 2, but the other lights were keep blinking like crazy too. Also my capacitator (220uF 25V) was bigger, but I didn’t push it all the way down on the board, instead I bent its legs sideways to make it fit under the cover. Works like charm ;)
Thanks. I started my PS3 Guitar Hero and had the same problem. It's an easy fix, just have to buy new capacitors. Thank for diagnosing the problem, that's the hard part, soldering two capacitors isn't.
23 March 2018,I have two guitars that would not sync, they had worked before they sat (Duracell batteries still installed) for over 4 years. My daughter came to visit and she wanted to play the game, like old times. No matter what I did, they wouldn’t sync. I looked all over the internet and youtube and there are no good fixes... except this video. This video IS the sync repair. Watched the video, I bought a 5 pack of 10v 220uF (microFarad) capacitors for .99 plus 3.83 shipping ($4.82) from eBay and replaced them as the instructions speedbump49 illustrated and it fixed the sync issue. When I opened the guitar up, the caps did not have any typical failure signs of bulging or popped tops. So I became very skeptical. At this point I had nothing to lose so I replaced them anyway. I plugged the two, guitar pick shaped, dongles into my PS3 and installed fresh batteries into the first guitar and before I could even push the sync buttons I had a solid channel 1 light! I put fresh batteries in the other guitar and the same thing, I didn’t have a chance to sync and it had a solid channel 2 light. While my daughter had already traveled back to her home, I was able to play with my son who was very receptive to Guitar Hero (R)! If you have a guitar that had batteries in them when it went to the side for the new game, this may be your fix! It fixed mine. The only thing I wish I had was a solder sucker or bulb which would have made removing and replacing the capacitors much easier. To get solider out of the holes and off the standoff connectors. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼
Hey Matt, why the doubt? I had two dead controllers, fixed them both with the capacitor replacement. I used rechargeable batteries and I think that was a root cause, others may have same issue, therefore same fix is available for them. I went from dead controllers to working great controllers with this fix. My controllers LED's would flash, try to sync, but would never connect until I replaced the capacitors as in this video. Just sharing my results.
I'm sorry I'm not really doubting you.. I'm just so exhausted in looking for answers.. thank you so much for the post I'll keep in touch and share my results
J'avais des problèmes de connexion avec ma guitare : après avoir fonctionné sans problème pendant plusieurs années, celle-ci n'a plus voulu se connecter après plusieurs mots d'inutilisation. La Led (une seule) clignotait comme si la guitare parvenait à se connecter par intermittence... Le problème semblait différent de celui décrit par la majorité des gens (4 leds clignotantes). J'ai malgré tout tenté de remplacé le condo par un 220uF 16V. Et ça marche !!! Merci 1000 fois. Coût de l'opération : 0,40 € !
Just want to say thank you soooooo much for posting this video. Like so many others my guitars, I have two, were useless. But now thanks to you and some very inexpensive capacitors I am back in business.
Thanks for the fix guys. I haven't done it yet but i'm sure its the problem as its all that's left that makes any sense. Now I will be a real guitar hero this weekend. \m/.
It worked with the PS3 guitar, thanks :) I replaced it by a new one of 220µF 16V. Btw if you try to read the values of your "dead" capacitor to check it's values, it can get the good capacitance, so don't be fooled, the problem is most probably the resistance or the voltage loss. It's clearly different than from a new capacitor. (old: 205.5µF, 2.2ohm, Vloss=6.8% | new: 216.5µF, 0.34ohm, Vloss=1.6%)
My controller would connect the USB dongle but then disconnect and reconnect rapidly. I just did this fix using a 220uf 16v capacitor pulled from a old sony battery charger and it worked beautifully! (the capacitor I used is also slightly larger)... These capacitors can be salvaged from old electronics! as long as the "UF" is the same as the original and the "V" is higher then the original It WILL work!! Just Be careful as these capacitors do have a positive and negative side! Stripe being negative and full black being positive!
I dont knowhow i can thank you for this. I found an old amplifier motherboardand found this cappacitor but i was slightly bigger than the original one but that didnt matter he has the same purpose and it worked thanks a lot🤙
Спасибо тебе огромное из России! В 2016г. даже в Москве найти подержанную (а уж новую и подавно) очень проблематично. Думал уже придется выкинуть и забыть о GH на компе. Интернет вообще никак не отвечает на данную проблему, кроме этого видео! THX YOU A LOT!!! from russia with love =3
Still the real guitar hero in 2021! Note to all solder noobs: if you have trouble loosening the old capacitor, just clip it off so you can heat the solder points from both sides.
Have original Gibson that quit working and found new aerosmith in sealed box that also had same problem.. I will try your fix and reply with results. This is first fix I've seen after searching everywhere.
This method has fixed my guitar that was shortly about to head to the tip. Thanks for the nicely detailed explanation on the video. Any suggestions on how to get my kids to let me have a go??? :-(
For me it was using rechargeable batteries Put normal ones in and they were as good as new strange what the recharging ones do but its fixed now, thanks!
Just replaced the capacitors on two guitars and now both of them don’t power on at all. Wish I could say this worked for me but must be error on my part. Definitely be careful with the iron touching the board. I saw a few comments with people reporting similar outcomes, any ideas if this can still be revived?
This fix worked as a charm! I found my old GH3 Les Pauls for the kids yesterday after years on top of the shelf, and it worked in a 10 minutes session, but later same night it refused to connect. Changing the capacitor did the trick! And I did use rechargeable batteries the first 10 minutes. It is a bit puzzling how this can break the capacitor though? Also, the single connectivity LED keeps on flashing like the batteries are low on a regular controller, but these are brand new regular batteries. Could that be caused by the other capacitor next to the battery connection being broke as well?
I just bought this used. both lights on the receiver and guitar blink rapidly and never sync. the guitar looks brand new and the capacitor has no visual sign of failure. any advice?
This guy needs an award he just saved 5 guitars from the trash Thank you dude
When the guitars dont sync they dont show any light ?
Im trying to fix one but i never played guitar hero on ps2 guitar and i dont know what should work :")

Mine had that issue. I followed this guide and fixed it. Thanks a lot!
Exactly how you say. Hard to extract, the new one is bigger, fix it easely. Very thanks. 2021 and Guitar Hero rocks!
Wow. This actually works. I didn't have the right capacitor, so I used a 220 µf 16V with positive results.
Thank you so much. This fixed my issue and only took about 30 minutes!
Fixed both my dead guitars by replacing the capacitor! Thanks!!!!
Thanks a lot!! I've just replaced the capacitor today and my old guitar is back!
It worked with the PS3 guitar, thanks :) I replaced it by a new one of 220µF 16V.
Btw if you try to read the values of your "dead" capacitor to check it's values, it can get the good capacitance, so don't be fooled, the problem is most probably the resistance or the voltage loss. It's clearly different than from a new capacitor.

Interesting. Sounds like they used a very cheap component there.
Time to find a soldering iron to fix mine.
Here in 2024 thank you
Thanks solved the issue for me. Even stocked some additional capacitor just in case... *evil stare to the other guitar*
My controller would connect the USB dongle but then disconnect and reconnect rapidly. I just did this fix using a 220uf 16v capacitor pulled from a old sony battery charger and it worked beautifully!

Worked for me, thanks! PM me for pictures, I used solder wick to desolder C6 before replacing. No more radio shack, thank you amazon!

Just replaced the capacitors on two guitars and now both of them don’t power on at all. Wish I could say this worked for me but must be error on my part. Definitely be careful with the iron touching the board. I saw a few comments with people reporting similar outcomes, any ideas if this can still be revived?
Excelente amigo, tenía el problema de las luces y con sólo cambiar el capacitar que mencionaste puffff,... Revivió la guitarra, muchas gracias...
richard zambrano que debo que quitar?:/
El condensador que esta en la imagen, el de la flecha con el circulo.
richard zambrano esque yo soy visual xD nesesito ver como lo hace
Alejandro, no encontre el mismo, encontre uno mayor, pero es mejor que sea de mayor capacidad, no me afecto en nada, y la guitarra super bien
Los voltios, ya que no lo encontré
Brilliant a friend just fixed my controller with this video cheers :)
This fix worked as a charm! I found my old GH3 Les Pauls for the kids yesterday after years on top of the shelf, and it worked in a 10 minutes session, but later same night it refused to connect. Changing the capacitor did the trick! And I did use rechargeable batteries the first 10 minutes. It is a bit puzzling how this can break the capacitor though? Also, the single connectivity LED keeps on flashing like the batteries are low on a regular controller, but these are brand new regular batteries. Could that be caused by the other capacitor next to the battery connection being broke as well?
Thanks for making this video!!! Very helpful!!
you saved my guitar! Thanx a lot
Thank you so much. This fix totally works!
Sou do brasil , funcionou com um 220uF de 16v , Obrigado! Thank you
Vc joga no expert? Como esta o problema de lag?
Thanks a lot for the fix my guitar works perfectly!
THIS WORKED THANK YOU (ive never soldered before and somehow did it lol)
Ok bro I bought two brand new guitars and they both fast blinked....I fixed all three with this fix. 220 microfarad 10v caps fixed em.
How many temperature were them?
I just bought this used. both lights on the receiver and guitar blink rapidly and never sync. the guitar looks brand new and the capacitor has no visual sign of failure. any advice?
Capacitors will not typically show any visible signs of failure, mine certainly looked normal.
ьmy capacitor also looked perfectly fine, replacing it helped
Thanks! It worked beautifully!
It worked ! Thank you so much.
Just saved another guitar pal!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!
