ps4のコントローラーが充電できないのはなぜでしょうか？ ps4に接続しても動作しません。(黄色のランプが点灯しません) pcに接続すると、黄色のランプが点灯しますが、コントローラーの電源が入りません。1週間前にも同じ問題が発生し、リセットボタンを押すことで解決できました。しかし、今回はうまくいきません。

DualShock 4: PS4 Touch pad cursor stuck

Mon, 18 May 2026 02:24:01 -0700

So I recently opened my PS4 controller to give it a basic clean as I had an issue with the R2 trigger, which is now fully fixed and working great. However upon reassembling the controller my touch pad has gone crazy. When trying to type a message to someone the cursor pulls back into the centre on the keyboard, so I can type g or G if i’m feeling creative. Any advice please

DualShock 4: Am I soldering correctly?

Sat, 16 May 2026 21:21:50 -0700

This more of a general question I feel like I'm soldering at a too high temperature I keep damaging the mask around the vias sometimes stripping the mask around the vias revealing the copper I don't know if that compromises the connection or not at what temperature I should solder at? I currently solder at 400c I use both lead and lead free solder.

DualShock 4: Stick drift and trigger issue

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:47:20 -0700

help my joystick aint stick drifting its more like Tokyo drifting, I have attached media of one.

my main controller had trigger issues which was giving a response when I wasn't even using the triggers so I used the same conductive film but switched the hardware of my other controller's pcb board which wasnt turning on and then the trigger issue was resolved but the that Tokyo drift issue came up so I guess the board is the issue but I'm not sure

DualShock 4: Is the rear via torn?

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:31:23 -0700

I'm finding out how delicate these ps4 boards are so I saw this and it looks torn. I was able to get continuity between the bigger ground vias and the other live one

DualShock 4: Controllers Turns Off Right After Connecting + Nuances

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:17:12 -0700

I have checked this forum far and wide but haven't found my answer nor does it describes my issues. My issue im getting is that after paring/connecting to my PC or iPhone via bluetooth with pulsing yellow light, it simultaneously shuts off like it lost power. Heck, my Linux PC thinks the battery is less than 5% remaining.

I have swapped out the battery with a new one and still getting the same problem. I have confirmed the battery are charged as both the old and new battery reads 4V on my voltmeter. When I hook it up to an wall charger however, it connects then stayed powered on.

I have also done the trivial troubleshooting such as holding the PS button and Select/Share button to re-pair (Bluetooth), also press & holding the Reset button for 10 seconds to wipe out the paired address but to no avail. I do not have a PS4 console if its somehow needed to access certain settings or tools

If the community are stumped then im fine with using this controller soley wired as that works correctly.

Edit: I should mention that I never seen the LED bar changed to other colors other than Yellow & Off.

Edit 2025-11-19: Okay, I've seen the LED changed to green when plugged into my PC and playing a game, specifically Ace Combat 7.

DualShock 4: Am I using this program correctly?

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:20:04 -0700

Hi so I finally got the analog sticks on my controller these are the Gulikit TMR Joysticks and I dont know whats going out with the right analog stick it clicks, but doesn't register and it looks like it drifts even though they supposed to be new. I tried in BF6 and I don't notice it since I have my dead zone set to 0. Can too much or little solder cause that malfunction?
