Common Reasons Your PS5 Controller Isn't Charging (DallasFixTech Insight)

Faulty USB-C Cable: The charging cable itself is often the culprit. Not all USB-C cables are created equal, and frequent use can lead to internal wire damage.
Worn or Damaged USB-C Port on Controller: The controller's charging port can become loose, dirty, or have bent pins from repeated plugging and unplugging.
Faulty Charging Port on PS5 Console or Charging Station: If you're using the console's USB ports or a dedicated charging station, the issue might lie there.
Battery Degradation: Over time, the internal rechargeable battery can degrade, losing its capacity to hold a charge or failing completely.
Controller Firmware Glitches: Software bugs within the DualSense controller's firmware can sometimes interfere with charging capabilities.
Motherboard/Charging IC Issues (Controller Internal): Less common, but internal circuitry related to power management within the controller can fail.

DallasFixTech’s Expert Diagnosis & Repair Process for PS5 Controllers

Our certified technicians perform a systematic diagnosis and repair to get your controller charging reliably:

Cable & Port Testing: We begin by testing multiple known-good USB-C cables and different charging ports (on the PS5 console, a PC, or a dedicated charging station) to isolate the problem. We meticulously inspect the controller's USB-C port for physical damage, debris, or bent pins.
Controller Reset & Firmware Update: We perform a hard reset of the DualSense controller (using the small button on the back) and check for and apply any available firmware updates for the controller. Many charging issues can be resolved by software.
Power Delivery & Battery Diagnostics: We use specialized tools to test the power delivery to the controller and assess the health and capacity of the internal battery.
USB-C Port Replacement: If the controller's USB-C charging port is physically damaged or internally faulty, we perform a precise replacement using high-quality components, involving delicate soldering if necessary.
Battery Replacement: If the internal battery is degraded or faulty, we safely replace it with a new, high-quality rechargeable battery pack, restoring its full charge capacity.
Internal Circuitry Inspection: For more complex cases, we open the controller to inspect internal circuitry for damage or loose connections related to charging.
