How do I fix a a PS4 controller that doesn't charge or turn on?

To offer some context, I was trying to salvage my frayed flex ribbon cable that connects the charging port to the main motherboard by cutting the frayed end and scraping away the plastic to create a "new" end. This failed and after a few attempts I tried to put the cable back in and it sparked, resulting in a nominal burn on the cable. Now with a new flex ribbon cable I've inserted it into the relevant ports and the controller doesn't charge or turn on (it did before, my previous issue was just replacing my L2 but I pulled the cable out and it became frayed). Have I destroyed the controller or have short circuited it or something? Any help is greatly appreciated and will result in positive feedback (I'll probably offer you my kidney if someone manages to fix this).

It seems as if you shorted out the board or probably one or two components ( capacitor, resistor, diode etc.) and those components are surfaced mount components therefore, if you don"t have any electronics background I suggest that you get it replaced.

Trying to hook up a PS4 2A Oli flat screen TV help please

its a ps4 so it comes with a hdmi cable. Place the hdmi cable into the back of the ps4 and put the other end into a hdmi input
on the TV . Don't know the TV but usually there are a number of HDMI input ports on most modern tv's.
Then switch tv source to HDMI .

Happy gaming Phillip

you will have to plug the usb cable into the controller and into the front of the PS4 and then charge the controller by pressing the power button on ps4. The controller has to be paired to the ps4. The manual that came with the ps4 should go into it in more detail.

Why is my ps4 shutting off itself after 5/10 minutes of playing?

If the light is any color besides white, Sony offers a collection of fixes for this PS4 problem, including an option to get a replacement if none of them work. From what we can tell this issue is mostly past, but if you have this problem you should.
  • Check the HDMI cable
  • Check the hard drive
  • Make sure the PS4 is ventilated - Blow out your vents with a can of compressed air.

3230 help.,

The flex cable is the weak link in all Flip style phons, so yes replace the ribbon/flex cable and most likely it will cure the problem.

I wiggled the ribbon cable between the control board and the intermediate circut board. The LCD came back for an instant. I am sure it is this ribbon cable. It looks like it is held on with adhesive. How can it be impossible to repair if people are offering to do it less than 40.00 dollars to fix it? Someone must be selling a replacement ribbon cable that will work.
