<title><![CDATA[DualShock 3: Why doesn't my PS3 controller work?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My PS3 controller recently stopped working after a friend borrowed it. It worked fine prior to his use, but now it seems like it has no power—and when I plug it in, it doesn't connect for charging. I can't use it and am wondering if it could be the lithium battery or if there is a soldered connection that came undone from the USB port. Can this be repaired or is this $50.00 controller that is less than a year old garbage?</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: Water damaged, PS4 controller, how to diagnose and repair?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After a late night I stupidly deposited my PS4 controller on top of the dishes in my sink. The next day after looking all over for the controller, to my dismay, I noticed it perched atop my dishes. As I removed it <strong>small droplets escaped from the PS button and L/R handles</strong>. I waited until it dried sufficiently. Then I plugged it back into the HDMI charging cord. I waited a while since there was no light showing residual charge.</p>

<p>I turned my console on and could not get the PS button to respond, thereby barring me from its use. <strong>After charging it for a while,  a blue light flickered on and off intermittently</strong>. <em>Is there someway I could salvage my controller?</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Whenever I play a game the controller justs starts choosing options that match the buttons out of nowhere without them being pressed. For Example I'll play call of duty and all of the sudden I'll start switching weapons or shooting without me pressing the button.</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: Light bar blinks Orange when plugged in but does not turn white or blu]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Controller seems dead unless I plug it into USB. When I plug it in using the USB it does the slow orange light blink but after when I press the PS button it's dead again. Usually it would light up afterword but I'm at a loss from here. I've tried the reset but still same problem. I took the controller apart to see if anything was broken and nothing that I could see is wrong.  What's the diagnosis and what parts do I buy from you to fix it? Thanks</p>

<p>I've already opened the controller, and I haven't seen anything weird or abnormal in it. And in that previous post, the guy doesn't say what worked for him. Is there a way to fix this problem that has been proven to work? Or, do I just need to buy a new one?</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: Directional buttons not responsive]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>On my original PS4 controller (got another one when I upgraded to PS4 Pro), the up, down, left and right buttons just one day decided they didn't want to work anymore. I've tried resetting the controller, a number of times, with the same result, which leads me to believe it's not the signal to the PS4 but rather something within the controller itself. I'm not too keen on opening it up and it could not be the buttons themselves anyway but maybe a cable that goes from that area to the rest of the controller? Does anyone have any DIY advice before I break down and pay a bench fee?</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: Ps4 dualshock controller won't turn on]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone.</p>

<p>I have 2 ps4 controllers.</p>

<p>One of them doesn't go on. If I put them on the charge cable on the ps4 they lit orange as usual but as soon as I put them off the cable it goes out. If I press the home button it won't turn on. Only via cable.</p>

<p>So I thought that it was the fault of the battery. I bought a new battery out it in and still the same. The other controller functions without problem and this one also but doesn't go on wireless.</p>

<p>Please help  what can I do?</p>

It doesn't seem to do that though if I just lightly press. I tried resyncing it and even  open up the controller to remove any dust, but the issue is still there trying both options. Anyone know what could be the issue?</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: My left analog stick is not moving properly...?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>So, I bought this controller about a year ago and, as it was my 2nd controller, never used it so often. Then, my first controller broke, and I had to use this 2nd one since then. So, I noticed that whenever I moved the analog stick to the right, it computed as if I was moving diagonally to the bottom-right corner. Whenever I moved to the left, the movement in-game was as if I was moving diagonally to the top-left.</p>

<p>Then I tried to fix it by opening it and seeing if there's any problem, and it didnt seem like it had. The only thing I did when I opened the controller is that I took the analog stick out and put it back again. Then, another problem appeared: whenever I moved the analog stick upwards, to move forward in-game, it stopped moving after a while, like 5-10 seconds. What should I do? Is that a chipset problem? Please help!</p>
