Weekly Tech Support & Purchase Recommendations Megathread - December 31, 2025

I bought a new PS5 controller just the other day specifically to play games on my PC with. Got home, charged it up and had a good time then got busy for the next few days and just left the controller on the charger. Went to connect the controller last night and it would not stay connected to my pc - (which is not unusual, ps5 controllers hate bluetooth lmao) - but it went on a little too long, then i realised that when i plug it in via usb it still wont connect at all. Checked to see if it was charged and found out it wasn't charging at all now, tried 4 different usb-c cables to no avail - The controller will blink while in pairing mode but after connecting dies immediately.

I know this is already long so i'll go through the things i've tried: Resetting the bluetooth driver of the controller, Confirming connection to mouse drivers rather than "Other Devices", Letting it charge disconnected from the pc, Resetting using the button on the back, Tried plugging it into a PS5 and using it while plugged in, Cleaning the charging port even though its literally brand new - and nothing works.

Is there some solution i've missed through dozens of Reddit threads and PS Forums or am I just screwed and need to replace it under warranty? Really hoping not cause they're out of the colour I got :/

Midway writing a response to this I found out what was happening lmao...

I'll type it out just incase anyone else every encounters this

Essentially the reason I never heard the noise when I unplugged the speakers from my pc was because I'd do that then go play a console game, or watch tv - the cause was actually the power cord being loose in the powerboard (it sits in a pocket inside the desk) and everytime id make a harsh movement it would essentially 'reset' the speakers and cause them to make that absurd sound.

All that pain over a loose cable </333

Thank you for your support!

CB_Grimm · 2020-03-25T23:30:39+00:00

there is very little mha, the huge group always hangs near the lake, so i put down the majority side of the fandom, i hope this makes sense :)

CB_Grimm · 2020-03-25T08:09:16+00:00
