Controller won’t power on or charge

To give yall some background context: I tried to solder on some brand new TMR joysticks onto my PS4 JDM-055 controller. After soldering them, it worked for a little bit. I wanted to resolder one of the sticks and I think I shorted the controller. As you assumed it no longer turns on. I don’t know what to do from here on out cause I don’t know where a certified technician in my area would be and I just want my controller to work again.

If any of yall could help that would be much appreciated

Thanks for the pictures! Soldering looks fine.. I would check the motherboard for shorts! Otherwise a replacement is required..

Hi Brody!

Can you share a picture with us regarding the solder work? It's possible that a trace is damaged or the motherboard had too much heat and thus something died on there.

Guide for the pictures: Adding images to an existing question - iFixit Repair Guide

Please check all the cables, solder pads and traces. If nothing is visible at first, then I would replace the motherboard OR you can check for shorts.

So, this should be the part you need: DualShock 4 Controller Motherboard (JDM-055)

Please let us know how it goes!
