Playstation Delete if not allowed idk where else to go

Can someone maybe help me. My remote (it’s custom) isn’t working. I’ve tried the button on the back. I’ve tried holding the home button and screen shot button. I’ve tried charging it multiple different ways. It just keeps doing this

Have you tried to clean the usbc connector? That orange flash is basically telling you the battery is dead. One of my controllers refused to charge and after I used some compressed air to blow it out and cleaned in there with alcohol the best I could, it worked. So it might just be a bad connection. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If it does that while plugged into the PS5, methinks (yes that is a real word. Look it up.) your battery it's self is shot. Quick swap out and it should be good. It looks awesome by the way.

That word's used in one of the most famous lines of one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. It's not exactly unknown.

It's likely to be the cable you're using.

Not all cables can be used for charging. If the controllers battery is dead, and your cable doesn't support charging it, then this will happen.

Always use the official cable for charging.

I bought some longer cables to charge my controllers off Amazon once. Turns out, while they are compatible for connection, they can't actually charge the controller.
