Why does my controller not charge?
My controller will not charge. Sometimes if you get it just right it will charge for about 4 seconds and then turn back off. What should I do?
Is this a good question?

Hi @ajcooke01 ,
Not disagreeing with you but the OP states "Sometimes if you get it just right it will charge for about 4 seconds". I'm wondering if the "....get it just right..." relates to the USB cable connection and perhaps it may be a loose or damaged port.
Your thoughts? ;-)
I haven't had time to get around to fixing it but I am going to this weekend. That could be a possibility as well. If you have a link to a guide that might help me with that it would be much appreciated!
