[@andrewtaylor7585]

How can I go into ps4 settings when my controller will not turn on 🤷‍♂️

[@chevanater]

With a friends controller or from the library

[@dajacz08]

I can control it with my tv remote

My controller turns orange but doesn't accept a charge and can u link that charger i been looking for something like that but can't find it

[@rollo6963]

If its lighting up showing it's charging but it's not actually holding a charge that would be a fault with the battery and if replaced should fix the issue, same thing happens with car batteries

I switched the battery with one that was charging but had other issues and I still have the same prob I can only use it when it's plugged in ????

When you said use compressed air I just started blowing on it with my mouth and it just fixed the problem immediately😅

Hi . My controller isnt coming on . Tried resetting it n the light came on when i pushed on the reset button then off again. The USB cable is charging the other controller properly. What can you advise as this 1 wasnt charged for a while?

[@jamiehavicanbroadcasting2311]

That reset button I didn't know about and it fixed mine, Thanks for the help

[@JoseReyes-mo6pn]

Replacing the charging port and showing what to replace helped 🎉

[@scyllaazcatl6565]

I have this weird issue where my controller charges but it will tell me the battery is empty. But I can keep playing just fine for hours 🤷

[@zZFlaviusBoss]

Either dead battery or a chips has gone bad I have a controller that only works plugged in because a chip is shorted and its getting hot

[@retr0-x9o]

Yes same thing for me

[@scyllaazcatl6565]

@@zZFlaviusBoss I thought the same, except I played for hours with the controller unplugged. That's why I find it weird

[@christiansanchez9141]

The reset button helped me a lot thanks

[@JeffPlaysDoors]

Uhh what does it do exactly?

[@christiansanchez9141]

@ Reset button that resets the controller, doesn’t change or harm your console or controller, although if the stick drift is worse or doesn’t change then it might just be time to get a new one

[@Camman3977]

First solution worked for me instantly. Thank you very much!

[@laporshesmith]

Thank you so much. This really helps me out the first three parts.

[@Enes__Gunes]

Hey, when i charge my controller it doesn't charge fully it only charges up to 2 bars and when i dont use my controller for 1-2 days despite its fully charged it's battery drains to zero percent.

[@Enes__Gunes]

@$H0-TyMe Could you find a solution or you're still searching like me?

My friend has a charging docking station, borrowed his and it's charging. Usb port for each of my 2 controllers has always been a pain in the *** since day one, now they just don't work at all. Keep it up Sony, great quality !

[@Nonna-u8b]

Thank you much, it just had some dust in the charging port and I didn't even think about it 🙏

[@zinimusprime]

Love the video, gave it a like, but why do you say "onscrew" instead of "unscrew"?

[@soulbot119]

midwesterners talk like this, especially in Michigan. other examples are "melk" instead of *milk,* "pellow" instead of *pillow,* "jagwire" instead of *jaguar,* peanut butter & jully, etc

[@Anywhere_bUtt_Here]

My ps4 controller was just dirty. This man saved me 60 bucks cause I was about to go buy a new one.😅😅

[@Kacidoo_codm]

All I gotta do is change the charger cord and it worked. Thank you. Give me forgive me that idea.

[@central8448]

Great info. My battery was bad. Checking to see if I should order a new battery or a new controller.

😢 I have a brand new controller that I just bought and it won't charge I didn't know that you weren't supposed to connect it to a voltage charge like a five I ended up connecting it to one of my fast charging chargers and now I think it's broken is there any way for this to be fixed

[@jackmckernan7588]

I have 3 ps4 controllers, all of a sudden all 3 do not charge. I have used multiple usb ports and different chargers but nothing has worked. Do you know why?

The first method worked for me pretty well i just tapped the button and held it multiple times than charged my ps4 controller and the yellow light appeared thx

My controller was working but the L1 button broke so I swapped it over with a button on my other controller and the controller was still working but as soon as I put the 4 screws back on it just won’t work anymore. What could be the problem?

[@MELTY_DOUGH]

None of these worked and the charger probably doesn’t need it be replaced I’ve only had it since late February

[@meiinuyasha]

the controllers mother board it self is damaged it keeps charging even when its not plug in

[@nadiaarbee1079]

Hi I have a problem I bought 2 used controllers that haven't been used for over a year, when I try to charge it using the USB or the charging dock the light comes on for a few seconds then goes off and then after a few minutes yiu see the light again then it's gone bt the remotes don't connect to the ps4 at all when I click the share button it does have a blue light flash and then it's jst dead like nothing happens

[@sandilezulu1383]

Change battery

[@Wyairo]

My problem is that controller works, but only on cable like the battery disconected from the whole thing or smth

[@bruh5485]

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue but my controller would refuse to charge if it was turned off even if the orange light was on. However once i started charging it turned on the issue went away! Hope this helps anybody who is still having controller issues.

What if I don’t have a compressed air

[@kaydenbritton8836]

What if I don't have screws For the controller 🎮.

[@MelonSharkkk]

i think its a controller issue because i gotta pose it perfectly and hold it still with nothing touching the charger for so long to get it to charge and if i move it just stops

[@josipbelan5814]

Thank you soo much its working now❤

[@satsukihajimelee6324]

My controller lights up like it's charging and will connect via bt but it will immediately die again after connecting it. I tried the reset button and cleaned the USB port and still nothing. Idk what that means for me. I'm autistic so buying and using a new controller us uncomfortable for me because I want to use my usual controller or I don't want to play. Ocd kinda.

[@mkchamp9645]

It was my usb cable, thanks man!!!!

[@MarcelE80]

Hm. My problem was that it had to be connected to the PS4 USB port

[@ItzSoopr]

how am i supposed to go to my ps4 settings if my controller is not working.

[@jaydenking7408]

The orange light comes on like its charging but it won't turn on (well it turns on but has 0 battery and dies instantly) Edit: it only charged when I left my ps4 on and not on rest. (The option to charge while on rest is on but it doesn't work)
