I Paid $25 for a BROKEN PS4 Controller - Copper Edition - No Power - Seller said the controller didn't power on at all so the first thing I checked was the charge port. The port had been bent out leaving a loose connection but that was only part of the problem. After replacing the charge port it still didn't work correctly so I tried replacing a chip on the motherboard that connects directly to the charge port. Luckily, replacing the chip did the trick and after that I just needed to give everything a good cleaning and put it all back together.

About This Video: I paid about $25 for a copper edition PS4 controller that the seller said wouldn't power on. After testing a few things and taking the controller apart I discovered that not only was the charge port faulty, but a chip on the motherboard needed to be replaced as well. I also found a lot of gunk that needed to be cleaned from around the buttons, etc. so the controller would work correctly again.
