Hi!
Just as teardown-er mentioned, it's probably the LED's it self, or there is corrosion somewhere that can cause this.
Please disassemble the controller and clean the whole motherboard with isopropyl alcohol (also the LED's) and check what is happening after this.
Otherwise, you could replace the LED's and see if that works.
If the issue persist, then it's most likely something on the motherboard that did die.
Can you let us know how cleaning worked?
Thank you!

Hi!
You need the following LED's: 4 x 0603 or 0805 SMD LEDs
You can find more info here: https://www.instructables.com/Playstatio...
You can buy them at Amazon, eBay or even AliExpress.
Awesome thanks I need to the controller apart anyway since its drifting
My pleasure! Hopefully you will get it all fixed! Please let us know how it goes :)!

Hi!
Does it light up when you are trying to charge it?? Do you use it with your PC or PS3?
Thanks!

I mainly use the controller for ps3 and they dont light up when I charge the controller, but the controller works

If the light doesn't show when it is charging, your LED is probably burnt out. Are you familar with basic soldering? If so, it should be pretty easy to remove the case and PCB and solder on a new LED

Yes, I'm familiar with basic soldering

Then I would replace the LED's and test to see if that works! But before doing this, please try to clean the board with isopropyl alcohol.
Thanks!
