Swapping PS4 Controller Guts to Fix a Broken USB Port (Not a Tutorial, Just Me Struggling 😅)

In this video, I attempt to revive a PS4 controller with a broken micro USB port by transplanting its internals into another busted controller shell that does have a working port.

Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
01:12 - Disassembly
06:32 - Cleaning shell
09:29 - The "fix"
17:24 - Testing & conclusion

It’s not a tutorial—just a casual journey through my trial-and-error process, controller surgery, and a bit of chaos.

If you enjoy watching electronics get cracked open and put back together (with some bumps along the way), you’re in the right place. Grab a snack and hang out while I try to make one working controller out of two broken ones!

Let me know in the comments if you've ever tried fixing your own gear—and how that went 👀
