Both of my DS4 controllers have gone to shit recently so I wanted to see if I could fix it rather than buy new ones.
Controller 1
Controller only works when plugged in and refuses to retain any charge despite the charging light displaying when plugged in. I assumed that this was down to the battery dying so I planned to replace it.
Controller 2
Controller can hold a charge (which indicated to me that the battery was fine) but only when the charging cord is bent into an awkward position which makes charging almost impossible unless I hold it. I assumed this was down to a damaged charging port.
Attempted solution
I figured that the best thing to do was to at least salvage one controller by taking the working battery from controller 2 and placing it into controller 1. I also placed the battery from controller 1 into 2 because why not? Nothing changed, controller 1 still only works when plugged in and to my surprise controller 2 still charges with a battery I thought was dead, of course I still need to bend the cord though.
Both batteries appear to be fine to me so can anyone identify the problem from this, otherwise I'm buying 2 new controllers :(
