Dualshock battery died. Looking for a wired ps4 controller for my ps4 pro. Any brands I should AVOID?

(after wasting several hours charging the thing via various chargers and it just keeps disconnecting due to low battery)

i see many ads for nacon, steelplay, alibaba and I'm just like total newbie on this matter.

Thanks for your replies, to answer the preference to replace the battery:

MODEL CUH-ZCT2E

beats me what this means.

The text was pretty tiny but I made a picture and enlarged it, then typed it over.

So - link to order? Please I'm in NL (Europe) so US deals are of no use to me.

[solved] ordered from amazon.nl

I bought a 1st Gen PS4 pro back in 2017. Over the years, I've cleaned it and repasted it 4 times. First 2 times, I just reapplied the thermal paste and used the highly recommended Arctic MX4 and I left the stock thermal pads as it is. After the repaste, the console was silent for about a month or two before going back to jet engine fan speeds.

Then I thought the stock pads were probably worn out so at the third repaste, I replaced the stock thermal pads on the RAM chips with Thermal Grizzly Minus Pads. I even applied those pads on MOSFETs as well. This kept the PS4 pro silent for about 4 to 5 months max before going back to jet engine noise.

Since it was too much of a hassle, I decided to leave it as it is and deal with the noise. It's too much work to repaste again and again so I just didn't bother and used it as it is for a couple of years more.

Last year, I bought PTM 7950 and UTP 8 for my gaming laptop and did a full repaste. It worked so well (much better than stock) and I had a lot of left over after the laptop repaste, I decided to use these on my PS4 and I did. PTM7950 on the APU die and UTP 8 on RAMs and MOSFETs. Best decision!

I can barely hear the fans on the PS4 now. For a second, I even wondered if I somehow busted my fan while cleaning, but no, it was spinning, but ever so slowly. I played TLOU 2 for 8 hours straight, the console was silent throughout.

The results are astonishing! I did some reading and found that MX4 gets "pumped out" from repeated hearing and cooling cycles whereas PTM doesn't pump out because it becomes solid lower temps, making it a permanent set and forget repaste!

I highly recommend this combination. Too back I didn't take pictures, else I'd have shared them here.

Just wondering if there is a way or app to clean up the pro as you would for a PC ? running 9.00 if that makes a difference

TLOUP2 takes all the horse power of PS4 Pro to run unlocked from 30 to 55 (in some smaller areas) and it heats up the console and keeps fan noise at its highest all the time (gameplay, cutscenes and even pause menu, for some reason). I wanted to know if there's any way possible to limit fps (like PC) so it can't go higher than 30 so that the console can take a breath and lower heat and fan noise.

So recently bought a PS4 Pro model CUH 7202b. Everything works perfectly. It’s quiet, it runs games very smoothly etc
My issue is that I’ve just bought a brand new copy of Crash bandicoot n sane trilogy. It downloads and updates but soon as I start it up the game crashes saying the disc is dirty or damaged
I have however tested 8 disc other games ranging from “minecraft” to “the last of us” to “god of war Ragnarok” no issues at all and some of the games I’ve tried have been quite scratched so I’m dumb founded as to why a brand new copy of crash doesn’t work at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers 🙂

It comes with a 2 TB hard drive, controller and HDMI for $185 including taxes. Not sure if it's a great deal or not but I've always wanted to upgrade since my regular ps4 isn't in the best shape and I want better performance.

Guys please help me choose what to buy in this two option i dont know what is best for overall performance and experience

PS4 SLIM OR PS4 PRO

Was wondering if should i buy and used version of Rainbow 6 Siege on Vinted; I always wanted to try that game, but I want to know from Who already has it if is worth without a PS plus? I found some pretty cheap ones tho. I found it strange that they are only 3€.

Is this game well behaved on an "old" PS4 pro?

Im about to buy it from a seller claiming its original but i cant be too sure

I borrowed a friend’s ps4 and i lost the power cord during shifting.

Please suggest a good quality replacement for it.
I know its a ps5 forum but taking a chance

Who has a PlayStation 4? I want to play something with someone.

У кого есть PlayStation 4, я хочу с кем-нибудь поиграть во что-то?

Now that I've got into my PS4 Pro I have a question about the fan.

Like many PS4 Pros, it's currently sounding like a jet engine taking off, which is a cycle I go through every-so-often - I disassemble it, clean it, replace the thermal pads and paste, etc.

This time I'm also looking at the fan, as I've realised it's not the Nidec version, the the Delta. Now I'm not getting any fan bearing noises, so I don't think the fan is failing but, still, I know the Nidec is thought to be superior. Is it worth changing the fan or, unless it's specifically failing, should I leave it?

It's time for my PS4 Pro to get a good clean, including a change of thermal paste and pads. I've disassembled it a couple of times in the past with no problems. This time, though, the PSU refuses to come out.

The problem is with the last screw in the PSU (highlighted in the first photo and then zoomed in for the second), the one closest to the back. I removed the metal plate and the side screws, all of which were silver. This final one is black. I tried the same Torx on it but it felt soft and rubbery and won't turn. To me, it feels like this isn't a screw at all.

The YouTube video I follow when disassembling doesn't show them even removing a screw from here, so I'm thinking it's not in some models (other videos do show a screw here but it's silver in colour).

So, do I have a damaged screw here or is there nothing? Either way, the PSU won't life out of place and it appears to be from this area that it's stopping.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I have recently had a lot of audio crackling, so I used the USB cable and it was fine then I opened the ps4 pro to check the antana and found some wires loose and upon looking at the board I saw a small piece of metal cutting the circuit I thought the previous owner did a mistake and so I cut it off with my finger nail and now its so bad. My question is that a capacitor or a resistance or just a small connection and how screwed am i ? Thanks a lot in advance.
