DS4 not charging after replacing L3/R3 potentiometer
« on: May 02, 2021, 02:09:00 AM »
Hello guys,

Basically the problem is after I replaced my friends L3/R3 analog sticks they wont charge anymore.
The light bar lights as if its charging but once you unplugged the ds4 it from the ps4 it disconnects and turns off.
I've checked the voltage coming out of the battery terminal and its only outputting 0.03 volts.
I need help where to start looking for shorted components.
There is nothing burnt visually on the board.
I might have used too much heat on the hot air.

The amount of heat that looks like it was tossed into that board the charge controller could be damaged or one of the 25 (19 used) BGA connections could be iffy under there.

Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.

Im afraid of removing them for reading, they are so small and i think i would lose them in the process.

I'm getting .13 volts from the battery connector

The chip is hot when touched.
Is there a way to test this chip?

unless you want to build a test bed, swapping for a new one/known good one should be a good enough test

but tbh if your controller ain't charging and the charging controller is getting hot, I'd say thats your problem, but there could be more

looking at the ever shrinking foam (and burned board), you seem to be putting more and more heat into it, if you're causing problems with that it may be better to work on that first

I have a dead jdm 055 lying around which i also broke, but the charging controller is different from the jdm-001.
Or is it?
Can i take a charging controller from a fake ds4?

Yes its totally different.

No.

RDC has put up the schematics for the JDM-055.
