it can be normal its really strange. it works sometimes, then sometimes it wont. I actually have purchased a new PS4 since then. But mine worked randomly for weeks, then it would stop working and i would have to go back and adjust my screws. Good luck!

Andrew you really need to post where you can get the motherboards for the controller. You don't have it listed on parts. But the guide was useful!

I'm not sure if anyone replied to your comment, but yes you can just use the new motherboard with the vibration devices already attached. It appears that some of the motherboards do not come with them already. If it doesn't then you would have to solder etc

What did you do to fix it after this failed I am having that problem as well . Is it a power supply issue

I think any size will work as long as tou can screw the plate back down, and they don't extend past the cover for your PS4

I am wondering the significance of this fix. I have watched multiple videos ( at least 20) read guides , etc. nobody explains why this works. Does it have something to do with electricity conducting through this bracket? Sorry I am not much of an electronics guy I just love to learn why things won't work. And am also trying to repair my PS4 as well. This method works sometimes but then sometimes my PS4 fails .
