A television game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, also known as PS4. First announced February 20, 2013 and released November 15, 2013.

Controller won't sync with console.

I've run into an issue with a few PS4's where the controller won't sync with them. I know the controller I'm using is good because I've used it on several different PS4's without issue. Has anyone had any luck fixing this issue?

Thanks

When I plug the controller in and I press the PS button the light on the controller flashes blue, but it never connects. The light will go back to orange and then just repeats the process when I press the PS button again.

I managed to change the wireless communication chip on the motherboard and it fixed my problem. In this picture it is in the lower left hand corner covered by a white sticker and shield.

So you must have reballed it by hand?

I didn't even reball it actually. There are only about 60 contacts on the back of the chip and they are spaced far enough apart to not have to reball. I just fluxed the back of the chip that I took from another PS4, put it into position, heated it and it worked like a charm.

Wow..crazy...I assumed you would have to reball it. Nice! Hopefully it lasts a long time!
