Sometimes you’ll notice that your Move controller is not working after charging. To resolve this problem, you can use the small reset button found on the back of the controller. Insert a paperclip or SIM-card tool into the pin or press the button on the back of the Move controller. Then hold the button for a few seconds. It should then power on. If the problem persists, you may need to try replacing the SIM-card tool.

Charger port
The charge indicator on your PS Move controller will flash red while charging, and once the device is fully charged, the red light will stop blinking. When you first plug the PS Move controller into the charging port on your console, the red light should stay on while charging. If the red light stays on for longer than normal, the charging port may be damaged. To fix this problem, you can follow a repair guide on how to replace the charging port.
If your Playstation Move controller won’t turn on after it has been fully charged, it’s likely that the battery in your controller is dead. If it is plugged in but not turned on, you may need to insert a pin, paperclip, or SIM-card tool to reset the battery. After removing the pin, you should hold down the button for a few seconds. You may need to replace the motherboard if this doesn’t fix the problem.
You can use a USB port to charge your PS Move controller. However, you should not connect it to a power outlet directly unless you have a PlayStation charging station. This will shorten the life of the battery and damage the AC adapter. If you don’t have a charging station, you can purchase a PlayStation Move motion controller charging dock. The charging dock will allow you to charge one or two PS Move controllers at the same time.
Lighted sphere
When it comes to playing video games, the Playstation Move controller features an integrated sphere which helps the PlayStation Eye camera track an individual’s absolute position in a game. You can change the color of the sphere by using the full color 24bit RGB LED on the controller. However, you should avoid changing the color of the sphere if you don’t intend to use it for controlling the XMB.
To determine if the battery of your Move controller is charging, follow these instructions. Make sure that the light globe attached to the controller is soldered and has no loose wires. You can also remove the four screws and check if the battery is charging. If the controller is still not charging, you may need to reconnect the batteries. Alternatively, you can check whether the controller is being used for gameplay.
Before you begin, check that the charging port of the Playstation Move controller is plugged in. The charging port should display a flashing red light. The red light will stop blinking when it has fully charged. The PlayStation Move controller is compatible with USB micro type V cables. If you don’t have one, buy a new one or follow a repair guide to replace the damaged charging port.
Checking if the port is intact
You might be asking yourself, “How do I check if the port on my PlayStation Move controller is intact?” Well, there are several reasons why this problem can occur. First, it can be because your Move controller is not charging or has a dead battery. It could also be because you didn’t plug the controller into its charging station or haven’t set it to the Rest Mode. Either way, you can use a SIM-card tool, paperclip, or pin to push the reset button and turn the controller on again.
If you plug the charging cable into the console but the controller does not respond, the charging port could be damaged. Check to see if the metal chips are intact. If the charging port is damaged, you’ll need to replace it or exchange the device. In most cases, you can simply replace the charging port if you’re unsure of how to proceed. Alternatively, if the charging port is damaged, you can use a repair guide to replace the damaged component.
