    • The black controller is an original Sony V2. The silver one is fake. The front housing looks good so far.

    • I'm showing in picture 2 only the fake one. The tiny letters XF.LIN behind the battery capacity cannot be found on the original. Same for the letters "DW" in front of the serial code. Everything else looks the same like the original.

    Not only XFLIN and DW, there are no EAC or CE Mark on the original controllers…

    I have “EAC” on my original controller https://imgur.com/QFURUeB

    • The first picture is the original. It has the original PH00 screws installed.

    • The 2nd picture displays the fake one. They used PH1 screws for this one.

    • And as you can see in the 3rd picture, the fake ones are way shorter then the original screws.

  3. How to identify fake DualShock 4 controller, The light: шаг 3, изображение 1 из 1
    • When the controller is searching for the PS4, it should give a bright white light, not turquoise! It's obvious that the LED/Micro USB board is fake.

    • Now I'll open the controller and show some more fake parts! The battery is not even close to the original one. And it's an 600mAh battery. The original delivers 800mAh. Also the fake one was telling that there was an 800mAh battery in...

    • The 2nd picture shows the original battery. Quite a difference.

    • The 3rd picture shows the LED/Micro USB board. It's obvious fake. I do not have an picture of the original one this time. There also should be text on it like (example): JDM-011 or JDM-030. There is nothing on it here. And the text colour should be in gold not in white. You can also see the fake screw holding it together again.

    Sorry, could you help me with a component I am looking for the JDM 030?? It's a capacitor, but I don't know what's the capacity. I was traying to change the joystick and with my little screwdriver I accidently took it off. Ando now doesn't work.

    Chris - Ответить

    Hi Chris,

    what is the capacitor telling? The value should be on the capacitor, or check the motherboard. Otherwise, please post a picture so I can take a look :). Thanks!

    • In the 1st picture, you can clearly see a switch. The button should not be blue, but it should be white/grey.

    • You should see a motherboard name, like: JDM-040 or JDM-055. This indicated again that it's a fake.

    • 3rd picture shows the fake motherboard again (back side).

    Tengo tres Dualshock 4, el original que vino con la ps4 y otros dos que compré aparte pero en uno de ellos no hay número de barras y en el otro el orden de la información del Dualshock es diferente al original (en las pegatinas) como sé cuál es original y cuál no?

    ¿Te refieres a los números de serie o en la placa base? Hay muchas placas base, algunas de ellas no tienen ninguna información :(

    So my motherboard looks real but battery looks fake. Battery is blue. Motherboard writing is in gold. Weird

    PlayerISKnownAs KingRealOne - Ответить

    The controller is probably fake. Genuine controllers do not contain blue (taped) battery’s…

    Si enverdad quieres sacarte de tu duda inicia en tu ps4 en conexiones de Bluetooth apaga tu dualshock y ponle en reconfigurar ya que allas vinculado tu mando te sales de configuraciónes esperas 15 a 20 min y te salta una notificación de qué el mando existente puede que no funcione correctamente ya qué cuando conecto el original no me salta esta notificacion y al conectar el mando que adquiri por mi cuenta si entonces cabe destacar que es generica la prosedencia actual

    Probaste el funcionamiento de ambos? es mucha la diferencia en cuanto a jugabilidad etc?

    No, en algunos controladores te das cuenta de inmediato de que son falsos, pero hoy en día los controladores falsos son cada vez mejores y más difíciles de comparar con los originales.

That’s it actually. There are more stuff to recognize if it’s a fake or not, but for what I’ve shown, those are the biggest differences between them.

The important questions:

1. Is the fake controller able to wake up the console from sleep?

2. Does the fake controller work in all games and apps? The buttons or sticks do not feeling identical are okay, e.g. unstable analog controls are not okay.

mikko.rantalainen - Ответить

1. Sometimes no. It depends on the fake (there are many different fakes), but some of them are not able to wake up the console from sleep.

2. It should work in every app and game, but due the soldered on thumb sticks (they do not use the original ones) they do not respond every time or feeling identical. Some fakes uses a totally different input board which is causing that it’s unresponsive and/or not feeling identical to the original.

koppie007 -

But how do you know if the casing is fake?

So far I have bought 1 fake controller and also found out that the plastic where the motherboard is on also is fake as you can't use original motherboard on that plastic as there seems to be some bad measures to the plastic part. Witch make the pad get stuck when closing.

Dani - Ответить

Hi!

It can be very hard to see it from the outside. Did it came with the original battery or a fake on too? You need to modify the plastic part, otherwise it won’t fit I’m afraid..

koppie007 -

1. Do original DUALSHOCK 4 (CUH - ZCT2) series controller's serial numbers start with a special number? For example the DUALSHOCK first version starts with 1 and second version starts with 2. One of the serial number starts with 3911 and the other with 1911. Will I be able to check anywhere whether the serial numbers belong to original series or not?

2. Without opening both my controllers, everything matches with the original ones as per your findings above. However the L3 and R3 buttons function on their own and doesn't let me control the player and camera angle fully. The controllers have never been dropped or any physical damage caused.

Darshan Thykandy - Ответить

Hi! First of all: I’m sorry for the late response!

1. All the serial numbers are unique as far as I know. The fake one starts with: “DW1711”. My original V2 starts with: “1611” and another one of my original controllers (V2) starts with: “2611”.

NOTE: Only the fake one displays at the back after 800mA: “XF.LIN”, all the other controllers do not have those letters on it…

2. That’s difficult to say, as the L3 and R3 buttons are working for the fake one as I showed in the pictures. It depends to be honest, there are so many different fake controllers on the market.. But it should not do things on it’s own, is it new ? Or did you bought a used item?

koppie007 -

I think I got frauded with a fake V2 controller.

Idk how to identify it but there is absolutely no jdm or jds on the motherboard.

Can i contact you please?

Philippe Andraos - Ответить

Hi!

Where did you bought the controller? Can you return it? Is the battery the same as the orignal battery?

koppie007 -

Hi. I bought a controller and its the same as the real one. the sounds and everything is the same. But when I turn it on the light it is turquoise. Is it fake? And it doesnt have XF.LIN after 800mAh

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Hi!

Well it could be an original one which is repaired (charging/LED board replaced). Or, it’s a pretty good fake… You need to open up the controller to be sure! Sry..

koppie007 -

Sir, its a new one its the neo versa controller.

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Alright. Where did you bought the controller? The light (when searching for the PS4 as example) should be a white bright light.

koppie007 -

Sir, i bought it from a store nearby my house. It was for 71$

SneakerSensor - Ответить

And the seller had fake controllers. He told me when the real ones arrive i will call you. He called and i bought the new one

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Sir i think if the controller is fake, the neo versa code shouldn’t work as well. But it did work. (Correct me if im wrong.)

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Could be a real one though, but not sure. The white light should look like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=264xa2geOB...

Don’t mind the title of the vid, just want to show how the white light should look like.

koppie007 -

Sir, when you see the real one its bright blue in irl. But in videos it looks like that. And the screws at the back are the same.

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Edit: the screws are JUST a little bit different

SneakerSensor - Ответить

The stickers and everything is exactly the same as the real one.

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Lol sir im sorry the screws are the same

SneakerSensor - Ответить

I think you got yourself a real one then :). You should be fine.

koppie007 -

Ok thanks. But does it depend on the light

SneakerSensor - Ответить

And sir I unscrewed them. And the length of the screws was the same as the real one.

SneakerSensor - Ответить

Sir how do u reply???? I'm new to this

SneakerSensor - Ответить

On the reply button, go to the person his/her name and check the right side. There should come up": “Reply”.

Yeah, It’s real. It does not only depend on the light :).

koppie007 -

Lol when iwas unscrewing the controller and i was trying to open it up. It got dents. But idc its working

Recently bought a new Midnight Blue controller when I first charged it the light bar turned on and off like usual, but after a couple days or so when I charge it the light bar just turns off after a couple seconds., is this normal?

Apexii - Ответить

Hi!

When it’s charging the lightbar should blink orange all the time long. When it’s not blinking orange it’s not charging or done charging. Are you still able to turn the controller on? Anyway, you should have warranty on it, so you could return it. Looks like the battery is bad.

koppie007 -

Hi. I recently bought a controller from a shop near my house. The screws, the stickers at the back and the quality is the same as the real one. And it doesnt have XF.LIN after 800mAh. But the thing is when its searching for the ps4, the color is turquoise. Is it a fake or a real?

John David - Ответить

Also, it came with an instruction manual.

John David - Ответить

Sir im waiting for ur response sir please respond

John David - Ответить

SIr i have opened the controller and has the real sony battery inside

John David - Ответить

Bro also when i opened it up the ribbon cable was on the right not on the left. But the micro usb is in gold as the real one

John David - Ответить

When you opened it up and the battery is as the original and the USB/LED board looks like the original one (with text in gold instead of white), you’re good to go. Those are genuine parts.

koppie007 -

Sir also when i saw the gold text I couldn’t find jdm. Bcz it was a little short. Also

John David - Ответить

Also sir the ribbon cable was on the right not on the left.

John David - Ответить

Depends on the model! It could be that it’s connected at the other side. And otherwise you need to post pictures as I can determine if it’s real or not.

koppie007 -

So then give me your discord

John David - Ответить

Before reading this post, the only thing I knew to look for in an authentic ps4 controller is the JDM number. After not finding one in my new controller and then finding this article to confirm my doubts, I realized just about everything inside this controller screams fake. Here's what I found (much of this is already stated above):

1. Externally the controller seemed completely legitimate, even down to the sticker (though it was not perfectly centered).

2. Pairing light is purplish white.

3. Screws are the same length as original but phillips head cutout was deeper.

4. Battery is 600 mAh and of a different matterial (covered in a soft plastic material compared to the original’s hard plastic). Probably the most damning evidence there is.

5. JDM number is nowhere to be found and is instead replaced be a “C 1949-”.

6. Finally, the disassembly was different than what I'm used to/what I could find online

Overall, I'm pretty bummed out but now I got pretty good evidence to go after this POS ebay vendor. Thanks man.

Jimmy James - Ответить

Hi Jimmy! Glad that I could help :)!

There are a lot of different fakes at the market! Please look out for them. When you open up the controller, the battery tells most of the times the truth. Is it genuine or not? If you want to be 100% sure to get a real one, buy (new) from Gamestop, Target, best buy or Wallmart (just named some examples, there are more shops which sells genuine controllers). You can’t be 100% sure if you buy it at Ebay or Amazon (examples).

koppie007 -

The jdm055 model has the ribbon cable on the right

John David - Ответить

Hi John,

Yes this is different for some models :).

koppie007 -

Hello. I bought the orange ps4 controller, CUH-ZCT2E, from a seller on mercari a few weeks ago. It appears to be legit. I have opened it up and verified that all parts are original Sony. My question is, could it be from a different region as it has “сделано в китае” above “Made in China” in English? I noticed in your photo of the fake one it also has Russian printing. The controller works mostly fine, however it feels slightly different than my other three, which do not have the Russian printing. What is your opinion on this and have you encountered controllers like this before? Thanks

Jason - Ответить

Hi Jason,

If all the parts are legit, It’s most certainly a genuine controller! But yes, it’s possible that it’s imported from another country. Which is also possible (but not very likely) that the shell isn’t genuine but all the parts are, this also explains why it feels slightly diferent. All the controllers I had are printed in English. I think your good to go. Perhaps the shell was damaged so they transfered all the parts to another shell.

koppie007 -

Great guide. I recently bought one from eBay (highly rated seller) and it showed up in a legit Sony box and the outer shell was spot on. Had issues connecting and opened it up to find the cheap 600 mAh battery in your picture and a generic board without any JDM number. The only other sign was the sticker on back had a wrinkle in the middle of it as if it was applied by hand and had a serial that started with 2 letters when every other PS controller I have has a serial that starts with numbers. The cheap knock offs are getting more convincing.

Shawn M - Ответить

Hi Shawn,

Thanks! Good to hear that I was able to help you :)!

Yeah, looks like it’s not genuine at all! Unfortunately it’s hard to see if it’s genuine (outer shell).. Glad that you found out that the one from the seller is not genuine.

koppie007 -

So question, if you do end up with a fake controller can you switch out the insides with official parts?

R Ramos - Ответить

Hi Ramos,

Yes, you can swap the parts for original parts :)! But it will be difficult to find a genuine motherboard.. but if you got one, you could swap that one too. There are a lot of different controller types (JDM-001, JDM-030, JDM-040 and more) so be sure you got the correct parts for the model you need.

koppie007 -

Thank you so much brother your clarification really helped me. I really appreciate the real and fake difference, now i know that i have to buy an original controller rather waste my money on the fake one.

Qasim Amjad - Ответить

Your welcome! Glad I could help :)!

koppie007 -

sir i just recently bought a ps4 controller and it seems to be real but that’s not the problem… the problem is that to joysticks are delayed and i tried stick drift methods but it didn’t work i plugged in my old one and it is like normal but the new one i got the joysticks don’t feel right. Any suggestions?

Joshua - Ответить

Hi! Well to be honest, I think there is a issue with the analog sticks but this doesn’t mean they are fake, also the orginal ones are capable of failing… If you just recently bought it, I would return it and swap it for a new one.

koppie007 -

Ciao, ho acquistato il dualshock su amazon, la v2 (midnight blue) e sembrerebbe tutto apposto (non ho aperto il controller internamente) però la luce non è bianca come scritto sul tuo articolo ma tendente al turchese…quindi è un fake?

pino - Ответить

Ciao! Recentemente ho trovato più controller con una luce turchese. Ho aperto questi controller e sembrano reali. Quindi, se tutto il resto è buono, il controller è reale. Dispiace per la confusione.

koppie007 -

Bonjour je voudrais savoir si vous avez déjà observé des fausses avec des differences au niveau des petits trous de sorti du son entre les deux joysticks ?

Et bonne année

ghostinlife3 - Ответить

Salut! Non, je n'ai pas vérifié les trous. Mais ils pourraient ressembler aux contrôleurs d'origine (parfois non, parfois c'est le cas). Le moyen le plus simple est de vérifier la batterie. Bonne année :)

koppie007 -

What about the color of the inside analog?

TacticalShazli - Ответить

Usually the original ones are “green” and the fake ones are “white”. But they do vary sometimes.

koppie007 -

OMG! I just ordered the replica of the Dualshock 4 because it is almost 3 times cheaper than the original, and I just realized that they gave me the original XD all the points agree.

Ronny - Ответить

Nice!! Where did you bought the controller if I may ask :)?

koppie007 -

So mine is a gen3 v1 model 11 f1 with the serial number all numbers ,no letters as the serial number , am I good ?

victororta101 - Ответить

Hi!

Sry for the late response. Yes, some serial numbers do have numbers only. To be sure, you could open it up and check the battery (if there is no warranty on it and bought as used as example).

koppie007 -

Hello, sorry I need help ..

I dropped the original remote into the water, just a few seconds and not completely submerged.

Now it only works connected to the charger cable, could it be repaired? and how? , Thank you

Valeria Ramos - Ответить

Yes it could be repaired. You first need to open up the controller and clean everything with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure everything is dry and that there are no white spots there (oxidized). Probably your battery needs to be replaced too.. But first test before you replace parts :).

koppie007 -

muchas gracias por las pautas, yo tengo un mando de ps4 , al momento de abrirla tiene la batería aparentemente original y dice 800mah , pero la placa no tiene esas iniciales JDM por ningún lado , normalmente lo utilizo para jugar juegos de Nintendo y super Nintendo o juegos de plataforma. y no e tenido problemas, el único problema es el bluetooth , hay un input lag cuando lo conecto por bluetooth al celular lo que se me ase fastidioso cuando juego juegos de plataforma como Nintendo o súper Nintendo , pero por cable no hay input lag.

en general , juegos simples como super Nintendo y juegos así esta bien por cable pero por bluetooth no me cómbense .

y eso que soy exigente jugando juegos de super Nintendo y juegos parecidos

Jose Quispe - Ответить

¡De nada!

La batería de 800 mah se ve bien. Por lo general, la junta debe tener las credenciales. Pero sé que hay una placa base que no tiene credenciales. Por lo que aún podría ser un controlador genuino. Me alegro de que funcione bien para su dispositivo Nintendo. ¿Quizás es tu móvil el que tiene algún retraso? ¿Qué teléfono tienes? ¡Me alegro de que todos los demás estén funcionando bien! Si necesita ayuda, hágamelo saber.

koppie007 -

Just wanna say thankyou Very Very much for this guide!! I just got a used Purple DS4 from Ebay in auction for $30 shipped and to my surprise its Lagit!! I am soo friggen happy!! I probably wont use it a whole lot because my green camo one just feels the best for some reason, but that purple sure is sexy!!

austin eds - Ответить

Haha your welcome :D! I’m happy to hear that it is a genuine controller! Good luck with gaming!!

koppie007 -

I bought a rose gold one from Walmart 3rd party seller and I swear it's fake. The sticker on the back was bubbled but and doesn't have the things mentioned on the fake but had H instead of DW in front of the letters. The screws are different (not in length though). Also the buttons look a bit matted where as on my actual PS4 controller they're shiny. Another thing I noticed was the options and share buttons look like they were sticker stencils and the paint is crackled where they were removed. But when connecting to my PS4 it even comes up as a dual shock PS4 controller, so am I being paranoid??

Maysa Terry - Ответить

It could be a fake though. The serial number can differ. The screws should always be the same (as all originals have the same kind of screws in it). And if the buttons look to shiny, it indicates that it’s not original (most likely..). There are many fakes out there, and they do differ from each other. The fake controller (this one from the guide) also shows as genuine at my PS4. If you don’t trust it all, don’t hesitate to contact Walmart.

koppie007 -

Question will the package always have a barcode printed? Mine has a sticker which already screams fake. When looking for ps4 is blue and when charging it flashes for about 5 seconds and then goes dark.

Caleb K - Ответить

No, the package can differ from each other due so many fakes that are out there :(. Do you have pictures regarding the controller? Perhaps I can help you to identify the controller being genuine or not.

koppie007 -

can a battery be sorted on the fake controller as not charging

Robert Black - Ответить

No. Even the fake battery’s can charge. Maybe your battery is broken :(.

koppie007 -

I have a theory to identify the real one vs. the fake one; but I need confirmation.

The real ones are able to connect by Bluetooth with iPhone/Android and the Bluetooth’s name have to appear like DualShock 4. Did you try to connect a fake one and it show up like DualShock 4 just as the original or the device name is different?

Neo Anderson - Ответить

That’s a good one! Never tried that, but I can check in the future what happens :). If they show up, it could be that they have different names. But only by testing, I know for sure. Thanks!

koppie007 -

So I bought my controller from Flipkart a few months back and the L1 is getting stuck and sometimes just doesn't come out I took it to repair to a shopkeeper and he says that it's a fake so can it be repaired or am I just stuck with this broken controller?? Please reply

Piyush Tamchikar - Ответить

It depends. There are so many different fakes on the market, so I can’t tell you for sure. I think it’s the rubber inside which is worn/teared. You could try to see if a genuine rubber fits and do the job.

koppie007 -

Hi , I recently bought a limited edition last of us part2 dualshock 4 , the screws are orginal and the battery will keep up around 7,8 hours , but I got worried about some few things : when I take the screws out and tryin to open it up with my hands it wont open , it's so hard , and another thing is it's a little bit lighter than the orginal model that I had before 2016 , and keep that in mind this controller I bought is a new series , and when I press ps button to turn on the PS4 , the color is aqua , something like bright blue , but when I take picture of it , it's bright white , and yeah , I will be so thankful if you respond , thank you ,

Goog - Ответить

I forgot to say something , when I charging my new controller , the color is mix of orange and yellow

Goog -

@dan0 koppie007 could u answer ? I will be thankful?

Goog -

I think it’s a genuine controller. The genuine controller is difficult to open anyway. You need to take out the screws, and loose it from the clips. You cant open it with your hands, you need to un-clip it first (ifixit opening picks recommended). I would ignore the led color for now. It’s normal behavior that it’s showing the yellow/orange color while charging.

koppie007 -

@dan0 thank you so much , I can rest easy now , by Knowing that my controller is orginal , thank u

Goog - Ответить

Your welcome :)!

koppie007 -

This has helped me figure out controller I got is a fake and explains why parts that I have bought for it don't work.

The motherboard don't have any jdm numbers at all, that button is blue, the USB board does not have jds numbers. It actually has exactly same numbers as the fake you showed. The battery was fake which I tossed out when I upgrades the battery because it wouldn't turn on before, and then the new battery made it work for couple days and now does not work again.

Other things that made me question it was it was the green camo front shell which I have seen before, but the back shell was black. Which if you look up the green camo controller, they are all like a forest green back shell. Never black. I think someone pieced together bunch of parts for this controller so they could sell it with the ps4. My son got the ps4 from his grandpa. He bought it on Facebook marketplace and had it shipped to him.

dahpoop - Ответить

Yeah, looks like the controller is not genuine :(. Happy that my guide was able to help you to identify :)!

koppie007 -

I took a shot in the dark and bought a broken controller from Mercari app. Got it, took it apart and everything was genuine. Cleaned it all up with rubbing alcohol and used the shell from the fake controller along with a cool faceplate I bought off Amazon. Had to grind down some plastic to modify and make the board fit in the other controller shell but ended up working great.

dahpoop -

I’ve had my PS4 for over 4 years, had the same controller that came with it, last week I experienced severe stick drift, opened it up to clean it but broke the square green part that connects to the side of the stick. I bought a new controller the next day from a shop in town for £30, which is £20 cheaper, alarm bells didn’t ring, got it home, worked perfectly then i tried to attach my strikepack to it, it didn’t line up properly so had to put it at an angle, once it was all connected it didn’t work. I decided to open up the new pad and swap the motherboards and stick boards but keep the old usb socket, as i opened it the battery came out and the black plastic tray that the battery sits in fell out, supposed to be attached with a screw, the battery looks like the one in the pic of the fake battery, i swapped the boards over, put in the ribbon from the usb port, the pad wouldn’t work. Changed everything back, the pad worked perfectly but today the left stick has been playing up…………

The D-gener-8 - Ответить

Is there a way to return the controller? Looks like you got a pretty bad clone :(.

koppie007 -

……… with stick drift then unresponsive, i haven’t opened it back up to check the numbers on the boards but I 100% now know I have a fake controller thanks to your guide. I will get another controller but this time from a proper shop like Asda, Sainsburys or Argos to make sure it’s genuine. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to show people how to tell if their controller is real or fake.

The D-gener-8 - Ответить

No problem! Happy that I'am able to help you to identify wether it's fake or not :D! It's better to buy it at a "well known store". It's more expensive most of the times, but it will be a genuine controller for sure.

koppie007 -

funny thing is all of the newer clones are more and more closer to the real ones

i have 1 ds4 clone that i bought because im a bit curious about how it feels and suprisingly almost similar with less sensitivity on the trigger but the analog are similar

my clone doesnt have a different screws length, use the same battery type like on the 2nd picture (but the pcb are different) and doesnt have the turquoise light when try to pairing but they have a different blink the real ones doesnt blink but its like breathing but really fast meanwhile the fake ones are blinking

so if someone read this be aware.. go to a store that you trust or with a honest employee/owner. the easiest methout to identify fakes are from the "sony" stickers on the back. if its blurry or looks a bit sketchy then its probably a fake

I agree! These days it's very hard to identify the controller as fake or original. The best thing to do is to buy it at a shop you trust.

Disculpa pero el mío tiene todo lo que dijiste que es original,pero cuando dijiste que si tiene el número JDM-055 ES TRUCHO cómo eso es posible así que yo quisiera saber si te comiste la no cuando dijiste el componente es falso

Hoy en día hay tantas falsificaciones que se parecen a los originales. Es difícil saberlo estos días. Puedes verificar la batería y la placa base, la mayoría de las veces estos componentes te dirán si es real o falso.

Those who are facing issues in connecting the controller to pc must visit Ds4 Windows to get their issue resolved

I have a fake that will only work on PC. No matter what I do it will not work on a real PlayStation 4. Build quality feels identical to a real one, almost like only the internals are fake. Weird.

Edit: Model Number CUH-ZCT2U

Barcode 392331C0010180

Best thing is to buy an original for the PS4. It's hard to fix an not original one...

1. does the fake controller come with a charging cable?

2. the controller that I brought has a slight delay when playing games; for e.g Fortnite: I am not able to build properly because of this delay. is there a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

1: most of the times, yes.

2: If it's fake, then not...

Where did you bought the controller? Maybe you have warranty on it?

Go to extremerate.com guys. They make custome tournament controller upgrade kits, they only work on real gen 2 PS4 controllers, there's a few ways to tell, 2 being the serial numbers in the outside and inside on motherboard, the other is a picture of how the light shines through the controller.

Una pregunta. un control genérico le puedo cambiar la batería por la de 2000mh igual para uno original?.

Lamentablemente la descripción de mi control ps4 original la perdí y no puedo comparar los números de serie y modelos del dualshock 4 que figura en la foto. pero recién me compre un control ps4 ORIGNAL modelo CUH -ZCT2E y es re falso al toque el play me aviso que no era original. en fin funciona pero se apaga muy rápido.

Cual debería ser el modelo a comprar CUH-ZCT2U? o zct2e tambien es original...

Sí, puedes reemplazar una batería falsa por una original. el v2 usa un conector de batería diferente, en comparación con el v1. Si es un v2, necesita una batería para un v2. deberían ser intercambiables, también depende del controlador falso. Pero normalmente puedes cambiarlos.

How do i fix if the fake ps4 controller doesn't charge?

Kinker D - Ответить

Usually caused by the battery OR LED board where the usb port is. It’s possible that the genuine part won’t fit the fake one. Battery can be changed most of the time (also depends on the fake). Please take it apart and compare the parts. Or just replace the fake one for a genuine controller (recommended).

koppie007 -

Hey,thanks for the super fast reply. So the battery connector is way bigger then the original one so i can't change it is there any other way?

Kinker D - Ответить

Hi! No problem :)! Then it will be more difficult to replace it. You need to find a battery which do fit (so probably another fake battery OR cut the connector wih wires and solder it to the new battery… be carefull with this, because this can be difficult..

koppie007 -

i tried to switch the led board with the original one but it still seems to not work should i try again?

Kinker D - Ответить

Then I think it’s the battery it self OR the original does not work with the fake one.

koppie007 -

so i just switched and it blinked a red light what does that mean?🤔

Kinker D - Ответить

PS4 controllers blink red due to battery, hardware issues, or secondary user sign-in. If your DualShock 4 wireless controller is steadily glowing red, this means your controller has a low battery. If you know your controller is charged and it's red, this could mean you're signed into a secondary account on your PS4

i have a real battery conecctor will it work,and can i dm u somewhere else so i can send u the pictures?

Kinker D - Ответить

Depends on the fake.. and you can add pictures here, right?

koppie007 -

yeah its the battery then.

Kinker D - Ответить

Then it needs to be replaced :)

Kinker D - Ответить

Can you host it online and share it here?

koppie007 -

but what if the controller turns on but just dosent charge how is it turning on if the battery is not working

Kinker D - Ответить

A faulty battery can still operate, but does not want to charge (this is possible). Can also be the LED board which is just not compatible with the fake motherboard…

koppie007 -

i just tried to get a refund And he said he cant because i already took it out its so annoying i told him i took it out because the battery wasnt working and now he says that

Kinker D - Ответить

best thing to do is to get rid of the fake controller and buy a genuine one. Saves a lot of headache and using parts which may not be compatible with each other :(…

koppie007 -

%#*@ it.i dont know what to do because i bought a cheap controller because i don't have the money 35€ go to waste:(

Kinker D - Ответить

Perhaps someone you know have a spare battery that fit?

koppie007 -

i dont know any neighbours who have a battery something like that

Kinker D -

check my bio i sent the picture. the fake controller

Kinker D - Ответить

I saw the picture! This is not a genuine Sony battery unfortunately. It looks like a V1 battery connector. A v2 battery connector is smaller then the v1. So you probably need a v1 PS4 controller battery (no guarantees, but this one most likely will fit).

koppie007 -

will it really be worth it becaus if i buy a v1 ps4 battery will it work

Kinker D - Ответить

Probably yes, but no guarantees. You could buy one and try. If it’s not working, then return it to get a refund.

koppie007 -

or should i just buy like a new motherboard ,i have the body parts,or a new controller?

Kinker D - Ответить

Motherboards are expensive and not all the moherboards will fit in the controller casing (there are many different versions out there). So I do not recommend to buy a new motherboard. If it’s dead, then it’s probably the best to buy a new controller.

koppie007 -

i have a question how do i reattach a ps4 battery connector to its original place without a solidering gun

Kinker D - Ответить

Did the connector came from the motherboard? Or do you want to move connectors between the batteries? Then you do need to solder..
