[@ACEAGAINBOYSLOL]

Same storyyy😂😂😂😂

[@Updogg3000]

Here’s what fixed it for me: - Go to Settings/Accessories/General/Bluetooth and delete the controller - Then, use a toothpick or something a similar size and insert it into the pinhole in the back of the controller for 5 to 10 seconds, which resets the controller - Then, plug the controller into the PS5 with the USB-c cable that came with the PS5 or whatever one you have. Before, the controller was showing that it was charging and the little indicator on screen had the green plug icon showing, but the bar was stuck at level one. Once I did the steps as explained above, it showed up the same, only this time the bar was actually moving from one bar to two bars, indicating it is actually charging. Hope this helps someone!

I'm having the same problem as well. I have tried everything, and nothing has worked at all.

[@wolfdogguy]

​@@FaZe_Actomic bro, I just got it my controller fix. So connect your controller to the Ps5. Make sure you ps5 is off and you're controller is connected to the USB. Then hold the ps5 power button until you hear it beap 2 two times. It's going to ask you to connect the controller. Click on the controller a few times until it connects. And once it connects pick update my ps5. Hope this works for you as it just did for me.

[@JoshuaFreakyVenomFan]

It'll happen again, not trying to be negative either, but apparently this is a firmware issue regarding to Sony's side to step up and patch this problem, this is honestly a minor issue, if you plug in your controller to charge but it doesn't charge, just simply unplug it and plug it back in that'll resolve the issue, or you can restart your system as well.

[@choi-_-9553]

I’m 98% sure that my controller is the problem. I have two controllers and only one of them is actually operating correctly. I put the working one on the charger and it charged fully. But, then I tried the other one and it didn’t even charge. The reason I don’t like using the working one is that is messes up my mic when Im playing. It creates static in my mic and other people can hear it. The broken controller charger doesnt even go in all the way which makes me think there is something wrong with my controller.

IS charging controller straight from the outlet ok? I was worried that it might damage it.. .I just bought my ps5 3 days ago, and the front usb port sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, everything is fine with the cable, and i don't think i could have damaged port so quickly, plus when it's in if i try to wiggle it a bit it doesn't start working, but if i pull it out and push it back in then it registers and starts charging.
