I’m experiencing the same problem. My controller charges the battery but if I disconnect the usb cable, the PS4 says the battery is low and it disconnects. Did you managed to find a solution? The battery pins on the motherboard are receiving the 4.12V from the battery

Most probably you already know the answer by now, but you should connect your controller to a pc/mac with the usb and go to https://gamepad-tester.com/ This is a html5 page to test controllers. You can check if all the buttons and vibration work correctly.

Check this video, to see if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-4xKWnVgUA Seems you have to make sure it’s not connected to your iOS anymore

I don’t know all the methods you tried, but you could try pressing the share and ps logo for a few seconds, until the controller’s light flash rapidly, meaning it’s in pairing mode. PS4 should pick it up by itself. Hope this wasn’t one of the “every methods”. If all fails, try to disconnect the battery and connect it back up. Resetting should work the same way, but you never know.

I read somewhere it could be related to the battery. Never had this issue to tell if this is the case, but if you have another controller, you could try to swap the batteries. I assume you already tried the reset button on the back.

I’m not sure about the jdm 030, but I think jds 040 only charges jdm 040 and 050. Not 100% sure, but this I know for a fact.

Did you charged them on a power source with fast charge (> 5V). If so, you probably fried them. If not, I would say what you already tried: changing cables and power sources, since it’s unlikely you have 3 bad charging boards all at once.

You can also try holding the share and PS button at the same time for a few seconds. You should see the controller’s front light flash rapidly a few times, meaning it’s ready for bluetooth pairing. It should work with usb cable though, like you did. Do this on the start screen of the PS4, waiting for a controller. If it works it will recognise the controller by it self and the light will stop flashing.
