What You’ll Need
Before we begin, here are the things you’ll need:
- A PS4 controller
- A small Phillips screwdriver
- A replacement light bar
- Tweezers
- Double-sided adhesive tape
Step 1: Opening the Controller
The first thing you need to do is to open the PS4 controller. Start by turning the controller over and locating the five screws on the back. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove these screws and carefully set them aside.
Step 2: Removing the Battery
Once the screws are removed, gently lift the back panel of the controller to expose the battery. Take the battery out of its compartment by carefully disconnecting the cable. Set the battery aside.
Step 3: Accessing the Light Bar
With the battery removed, you now have access to the light bar of the controller. Use your fingers or the tweezers to detach the light bar cable from the controller’s motherboard. Make sure to disconnect it gently and avoid any excessive force.
Step 4: Replacing the Light Bar
Now it’s time to replace the light bar with your desired color or design. Take your replacement light bar and carefully connect it to the controller’s motherboard. Ensure it is securely attached.
Step 5: Putting it All Back Together
With the new light bar in place, it’s time to reassemble the controller. Begin by reconnecting the light bar cable to the motherboard. Then, carefully place the battery back into its compartment and reconnect the battery cable.
Step 6: Closing the Controller
Position the back panel of the controller back in place, aligning it with the screw holes. Slowly press it down to snap it back into position. Use the Phillips screwdriver to reinsert the five screws and tighten them until they are snug.
Step 7: Test your Custom Light
Now that your PS4 controller is back together, it’s time to test your new custom light. Turn on your PS4 console and connect the controller. If everything went smoothly, your controller should now display the new light color you selected. Enjoy your personalized gaming experience!
Changing the light of your PS4 controller is a fun and straightforward process. By following these steps carefully, you can easily customize your controller to make it stand out. Let your creativity run wild and show off your unique gaming style!
