Hi guys, I haven't used my DS4 on ps4 lately, and mostly used it on PC. Today suddenly the ds4 couldn't be charged anymore. I could press the home button and it will blink light blue color before it turns off. I have plugged it to my ps4 (as it usually works), and it's not detected. Tried to use smartphone charger, power bank, nothing. Is this DS4 broken already? Should I replace the battery? I bought my ps4 in 2017.

Open it and tell us which JDS-0xx revision is.

I thought one of my DS4 controllers wouldn't charge any more when I'd been connecting it to a phone charger, but when I started charging it only from the PS4 it worked again. Maybe try resetting the controller first, press the button in the small hole near L2 with a pin etc for 5 seconds.

    @SylverReZ, 1) except final fantasy 16. 2) why would I have a console's whole catalogue if most of the games are either shovelware or terrible games?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Kind of a waste, but the allure of all those games over 100,000
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lots of other games I enjoyed that reviews would say otherwise lol
