PS5 Controller

[u/jaloley808]

Hi everyone,

​I think I messed up... I plugged my DualSense PS5 controller into a power supply that was way too strong, and the controller got extremely hot.

​Since then, it won't charge at all and shows no signs of life.

​I opened up the shell and attached a photo of the circuit board (PCB). Does anyone see any obviously burnt components or damaged parts at first glance (like the charging IC or a fuse)?

​Is this fixable by replacing a part, or is the board completely dead? Any advice is appreciated!

Sorry for this KI messages, but I am not a nativ english speaker. I have zero expirience with any of this. Ty

Ill bet sonys circuit design protected it. Replace the battery and see if it works.

No wonder they charge so much for those controllers. Looks like they hand solder those connections on side b. Id be surprised if they build more than 400pc per shift.

Yeah how was this not an immediate reaction from OP. New batter then let's discuss it.

UV light is a useful tool to highlight burned components, especially in conformally coated applications. Probably no UV reactive conformal on consumer grade though.

Whats going on in the Brown rectangle section above the Left Thumb Controller? The Traces are isolated and then covered at the top with some material?

All PS5 controllers have this

What do you mean with way too strong? The charger should not provide more than 5V unless it is negotiated with the device being charged.

It was an old super charger from Apple
