How to Fix a PS4 Controller Charging Port
One quick fix is to clean the port with compressed air or a soft brush to remove any dust or debris. If that doesn't work, you might need to replace the charging port, which involves a bit of disassembly and soldering. Always be careful with the internal components!

First, try a different USB cable and port. If it's still not charging, you might need to open the controller and check for loose connections or damage. YouTube tutorials can be a lifesaver here!
Sometimes a simple reset does the trick. Use a paperclip to press the reset button on the back of the controller near the L2 trigger. Re-pair the controller with your console and see if it charges.
Honestly, just buy a charging dock. Saves you the hassle of dealing with the port and ensures your controller is always juiced up.
I had the same issue, and cleaning it with a toothpick and some isopropyl alcohol worked wonders. No more charging problems since!
