Having the same problem, already change the battery, thinking of changing the charger port as well.

I too used a fast charger for months with no issues but then it started getting hot. i stopped using it and havnt used it since, and now 2 of my controllers are dead. i have now replaced both batteries with new ones... Twice! first with 2000mAh batteries , to no avail... and then with the factory 1000 mAh batteries. so far they are both getting hot and not holding a charge for more a few mins.

not sure at this poiint maybe i fried the charging port?

I have the same problem I replaced the battery and usb charger port and stopped using the fast charger. And it still gets hot and stops charging after a while.

Hey, replace the charging port, I did mine after the batteries, and it took care of it. unfortunately I haven't found them for less then like 22 bucks... so for under 30 you can replace your sticks, batteries, and charge port and have a new controller.. better than $65 i guess... Moral of the story, don't use rapid charger. Also Hyperkin (the company that makes the retron5) makes a great usb cord, nice connectors, like 10' and fabric wrap cord.

Hi guys. I've the same problem. I bought a new battery and changed it but the problem still there. I turned on the controller when it was open trying to guess where the !&&* was the problem, and when I touch the mainboard it was really hot, I've been looking for that piece on ebay, amazon, etc, but it's quite expensive 30 to 40 bucks, so I think it would be better to buy a new one...

Put every thing back as it was. Stop using the fast charger. This should fix your trubble.

Hi bro, it same problem here... after all of my tries to fix this problem... i think it was charging port problem, because all of my DS4 parts working fine but i noticed that there is a very hot surface on my DS4 motherboard (80° C approx. untouchable) coming from charging port because also the charging port is a little bit hot... so let me try to change the port and i will tell you the result...
