PS4 controller does not charge - what to do?

Somehow since 1 week my controller does not charge anymore.

I changed the controller so with a second one trying to change the charging cable, the controller tries to charge via USB wall plug but the charging bar does not move on the PS4, so it shows that nothing is charging.

What can you do?

Try the controller with the charging socket with a toothbrush or a toothpick (careful!) To clean if everything does not help you do not throw it away but screw it up and look if you can chew something there and see if all the contacts are sitting but everything with feeling open and touch.

Thanks, but have the problem that there's a security screw, with a 5 Kant screw as far as I know

Is it a normal PS4 controller?

Scuf controller but have found the problem, apparently the charging cables are just bad because now it charges but with a little loose contact

Fake charging cable decreases over time and the voltage is so low that it is no longer displayed

These are normal USB cables. Just buy a new one for 5 euro.
