Port or battery? How to tell

Usually the USB-C port

  • It only charges with the cable held at an angle
  • The cable feels loose or falls out of the socket
  • The console does not detect the controller over USB

Usually the battery

  • It charges, but dies quickly in play
  • It will not hold a charge between sessions
  • The battery looks swollen, or the case is bulging

Not sure which?

Send us a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will point you to the right repair. If we open it and find the fault is the other part, we tell you and quote before any extra work. For mixed or unclear controller faults there is the £29 controller assessment.

If the battery looks swollen or the case is bulging, stop charging and using the controller, and message us before you post it.

What’s included

We work on all DualSense board revisions and confirm the board revision when your controller arrives.

The honest bit about USB-C ports

On some DualSense boards the pads under the USB-C port can tear when the old port comes off. If that happens, or we find any other damage beyond the job, we photograph it and quote before any extra work. Nothing extra is done without your approval.

Pricing

USB-C charging port replacement: £35. Battery replacement: £29. Both prices are per controller and include tracked UK return.

Already booking another repair? If the controller is already booked for another repair, such as stick drift, a USB-C port is +£20 and a battery is +£15. Book the main repair and write the add-on in the booking notes. We add it to the balance.

DualSense Edge charging ports are quoted on request. For DualSense Edge stick drift, see the DualSense Edge drift repair.

Turnaround is typically 5 to 7 working days from arrival. Parts are ordered per job, so we tell you if a part adds time.

How it works

  1. Book online. Choose the USB-C port or the battery and pay £15 to book. It comes off the price.
  2. Post in just the controller. A padded envelope or small box is fine. You arrange tracked postage to us, and the booking email has the workshop address.
  3. We check and repair. We confirm the fault and the board revision, then fit the new port or battery.
  4. Pay the balance and it comes back. Returned by tracked post, with a 12-month warranty on the work.

Frequently asked questions

Is it the charging port or the battery?

If the controller only charges with the cable held at an angle, the cable feels loose or falls out, or the console does not detect it over USB, the USB-C port is the likely fault. If it charges but dies quickly, will not hold a charge, or the battery looks swollen, the battery is the likely fault. Not sure? Send us a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will point you to the right repair.

How much does a DualSense charging repair cost?

USB-C charging port replacement is £35. Battery replacement is £29. Both prices are per controller and include tracked UK return. You pay £15 to book, which is credited to the price, and the balance when the work is complete.

Can you add a port or battery to another controller repair?

Yes. If the controller is already booked for another repair, such as stick drift, a USB-C port is +£20 and a battery is +£15. Book the main repair and write the add-on in the booking notes. We add it to the balance.

Does it work on every DualSense?

Yes. We work on all DualSense board revisions and confirm the board revision when the controller arrives. DualSense Edge charging ports are quoted on request.

What if the port pads are damaged?

On some boards the pads under the USB-C port can tear when the old port is removed. If that happens, or we find any other damage beyond the job, we photograph it and quote before any extra work.
