My control not working without cable

Hi

first question? Is dual shock3 control use Bluetooth or wifi for connection with the console?

My controller is working fine when it is a plug with a USB cable. I see that is fully charged but the moment when I plug off it the 4 light is blinking and I cannot control anything. Same happening with both controllers I have. Change the battery, try with other controllers. It seems that something gone wrong with the console… I have a super slim console…

What part can go wrong and how to be sure before I purchase parts?

Thanks

Hi yes they uses Bluetooth. Does the PS wifi still work?

Have you tried pairing the controls to A different console or even a smart phone so see if they are seen.

I will check if I can connect with my iPhone over Bluetooth.

So controller using Bluetooth connection with the console?

Is it possible to replace Bluetooth in the console? I don't see those options...

My console working fine and I can control it over controller but only while I'm connected over USB cable.

Help ..

@lpastor Not to sure on the models.But would prob mean soldering a new bluetooth chip on the board. Would be much easier to get a new controller with a usb bluetooth dongle.
