My PS4 Controller is dead

your USB port is most likely your problem. you can replace the entire board but the USB port can be fixed with some soldering experience.

"I have exactly the same problem... because my battery was ""dead"" I decided to put it in charge with my Xiaomi power bank and suddenly my DS4 won't charge anymore !

I disasemble it and I hope it is just just the charging port/board but maybe you(or someone who knows) can confirm me ?

Thanks a lot ;)"

It pend to me and then I play xbox in ps4 controller and I can’t play fortnite now noooooo I want to play fortnite I haven’t play fortnite for long time

"Try to install a ps4 controller driver on your pc and attach the controller via usb. And then in the device settings check if the other buttons are working. What happened to me before is that the ‘ middle PS button’ was busted so it wont turn on and I thought it was dead. And it appears to be not charging because the battery was already full.

If that’s the case, just replace the ribbon inside (it’s pretty cheap and easy to do)."

My controller would not charge or connect, tried resetting, tried turning off ps4 for 3 minutes and then pressing ps and share button, tried another USB socket, tried another lead. Nothing. Ordered and replaced charging port and ribbon cable, nothing. Ordered and changed battery, nothing. I didn't want to order a new motherboard as is as much as a third party controller that works. In frustration dismantled whole controller, cleaned all contact points with alcohol, took opportunity to clean all dirt and grime from buttons etc. There is a small, rectangular contact point where the ribbon conductor film folds under the plastic holder and contacts the main board, cleaned both parts of the contact with alcohol. Finally in a desperate attempt I removed, cleaned and resoldered the 4 connections on the battery connection port on the main board. Assembled controller and it finally worked. Almost didn't believe it when it flashed blue. Would only recommend the soldering to someone with a fine point soldering iron tip and confidence to solder small components but it is well worth cleaning all the contacts with alcohol in case this helps and only required one additional screw to be removed. Hope this helps someone
