How to Repair Playstation 4 Dualshock 4 Controller Charging Issue - PS4 DS4 won't charge sync

[@ThunderZenny]

I've looked all over the internet trying to fix the charge issue, I've seen people doing what looks like surgery on the controller (Literally) and I almost attempted to do it and then finally found the solution on my own, it was just a faulty charging cable 🤦‍♂️

[@elipymentGG]

Mine disconnects every time I unplug it and it does after I play with it while charging it after a hour and doesn’t work then you charge it then it doesn’t work and does the same cycle so I have to charge all day and get a hour worth of play

[@user-yf9ri1ie7o]

Yeah

[@nexalz]

Make sure not to use Fast Chargers, from Samsung, or just any Fast Chargers.

[@justyouraverageguy4771]

I have a brand new controller that never charged. I have an old controller that charges from the PS4 with 2 cables, however they do not work with my brand cable. I tried resetting the controller, several chargers, nothing nada, zero, zip. The light does light up, I was never able to connected to the PS4 thru hold thing ps button and share button.. soo idk what the hell with this remote.

[@scarletbrents2555]

Lmao

[@dustycrawdad307]

What worked for me was putting a paper clip into the hole. It reset my controller, and now it’s charging. Thanks dude! 1:05

[@marcomckee5365]

Hey Khan XO. I just want to thank you for placing this video on KZbin because you helped me find out the issue to my controller. And speaking as a person who’s controller would not charge and would not light up (blue, red, yellow, etc) this route definitely works. I believe I a different component to the mother piece (JDS-011). I ordered from EBay for about 3-4 bucks. Guys, all it takes is a bit of perseverance, common sense, and basic knowledge to get your controller fixed. Without out you Khan XO I would’ve spent 60-70 bucks for a controller. Literally, saved money, a controller, and happiness. So, thank you again man! Definitely referring you to anyone else who needs help with their controller

[@justinr1513]

Hey man I did everything according to your video, got the model number and was ready to order it. But as soon as I put everything back to together, in a last ditch effort I tried to charge it again, and it worked. The only thing I did outside of your video was simply just blowing and wiping out the dust around the inside, but other than that IDK what i did to make it work. But if it wasnt for your step by step clear and precide instructions, It probably never wouldve worked again, cause I tried numerous other options. So thanks a lot man.

[@khan_xo]

Justin R sweet lol, maybe just a loose connection you fixed? Either way glad it’s working again!

[@dorpth]

Over 30 years of technological advances since the NES, and we're back at blowing in it to get it working again.

[@karolzamojcin1886]

Magic... this is some old forbidden magic! For god sake, I have just repaired my own ps4 controller O_O thank you! It took me pretty much up to one hour, as I have never done that before. My usb socket was wasted to the point of no return (not charging anymore) , so I had to replace it, thanks to your video I got to know how and what to look out for, either not to destroy things or important information like number of the usb board. I have paid for new board like 2.5$ U.S.! where for new controller .. sigh! Thank you, I wish all the best for you.

[@iyeetsecurity922]

I bought a purple "for parts" DS4 for $20 with the plan to fix it. Before doing anything, I pressed the home button, and got a red flashing light. Then plugged it in and got no charging light, but it would then flash white when pressing the home button. Then I squirted some 90% alcohol in the port, blew in it a few times, then let it sit port down for an hour. Plugged it into the console and it worked. So consider trying to just wash it out with a little alcohol too. Could just be dirty.

Thankyou for the video. But you didn't mention anything about why the cable has been plugged in the way you have shown. Some users may just plug in the ribbon cable incorrectly to avoid the way the cable has been "folded". It was "folded" so that "Pin 1" on the top cover matched with "Pin 1" on the bottom cover.

How come when i leave it on the cord it charges but when I take my controller off it always says “low battery” or “controller disconnected” and when I try to push the middle button it never works. Help?

[@khan_xo]

Yagirl erika it could be for a number of reasons so you’ll have to troubleshoot. It could be a faulty usb cable that is being used to charge the controller, could be a bad battery that doesn’t hold charge as well, also could be a bad charging port that doesn’t properly charge. I would start with those 3 first in that order.

My PS4 controller will blink yellow once when you plug it in. After that it does nothing. Pressing the PS button and PS button + Share button it does nothing. Same goes when I plug it into my PC, I hear the USB sound, blinks yellow once then nothing. So frustrating.

[@khan_xo]

I’m not entirely sure but from what I understand, the blink yellow once behavior is an indicator of counterfeit controllers. True controllers will slowly but continuously pulse yellow when connected.
