My Dualshock 4 stopped charging after I had used it for a couple of months (previous owner too so not sure how long it’s been in use). I did the first fix I read which was to change the Micro USB port which I have done. Now, when I plug the controller in, it turns on for a fraction of second then straight back off again with no glowing orange light to indicate it is charging whereas before it wouldn’t turn on at all, even when plugged in before I replaced the port. My question is, do you think it’s now the battery that needs replaced or because it has been dead for so long, will it take it’s time to decide to charge again? PS Support are useless as the controller is out of warranty so they aren’t interested in helping me. Just want to know what others think before I decide to change the battery.
Hi! A battery replacement seems like the next logical step to take. DualShock 4 Battery Replacement DualShock 4 (JDM-030 and Earlier) Controller Battery
Sorry I don’t have a fix for this yet, just letting you know I feel your pain. I have 2 controllers in the same boat and bought new batteries for them, worked but wouldn’t charge so I bought the charging ports and cables. changed those today and even thought one of them works for a few seconds at a time, still isn’t charging like it should and the other is slightly warm when on the charger but is unresponsive. Hope I can figure this out! If I do I’ll get back to you!
i also have a few controllers lile this, currently in a scrap box. Did anyone have some developments on this?
