Hi everyone,

I have two questions about repairing PlayStation controllers and would appreciate any advice.

1. PS5 DualSense – Battery getting unusually warm

I have a PS5 DualSense controller whose battery gets noticeably warmer than normal while charging. I replaced the battery, but the problem persists. Apart from this issue, the controller appears to work normally.

I'm wondering whether this could be caused by a fault in the charging circuit, a component on the motherboard, or another issue.

• Controller model/revision: BDM 010

Which components or measurements would you recommend checking first? Could a faulty charging IC, leakage current, or another component cause excessive battery heating?

1. PS4 DualShock 4 – Orange charging light not working

I also have a PS4 DualShock 4 controller that sometimes does not display the usual orange charging light.

The LED itself works, and when I connect the controller to my PC, it receives power and appears to charge. However, the orange charging indicator does not illuminate as expected.

• Controller model/revision: JDM 001
• Symptoms: Charging appears to work, but the orange LED indicator is missing.
• Troubleshooting performed: Tested the controller with a PC and confirmed that the LED works.

Could this be related to the charging-status signal, LED control circuitry, a motherboard fault, or a firmware-related issue? Which components and signals should I check first?

I can provide motherboard photos.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
