Controller constantly disconnecting from console

Hello iFixit!

I recently got a PlayStation 4 used. I haven’t had any issues with it until very recently. The controllers constantly disconnect from the console and will not reconnect unless I unplug the PlayStation and wait 45 seconds and then reconnect it.

Any ideas what I should look for?

Hi!

I had this once, and I my case it was the antenna which was broken and causing those weird issues.

I would try to replace this one first (it's cheap and easy to replace).

In the worst case, It could be the Bluetooth chip. This one is soldered on the motherboard, so replacing this one required soldering.

Please let us know how it goes, hopefully it's just the antenna!
