Should my controller power on without the LED/USB ribbon cable?

Hey there, I’d been having an issue on my DS4 recently where L2 made my character move foward. I’d heard cleaning things would help with that so I opened up my controller and just blew onto to joystick modules and the sensors. Anyway I noticed the LED/USB ribbon cable was unplugged from the bottom where the USB and lightbar is so I plugged it back in and my controller now doesn’t turn on. I noticed the ribbon cable had some bent pins and such and have already ordered a replacement but I cannot get any response from the controller at all. Is this normal or is there another reason my controller isn’t functioning? Thanks

After replacing the ribbon cable the controller is once again functional :) ! The reason it wasn’t connecting was that it wasn’t previously paired to my PS4 and since it couldn’t use the USB port on the controller it wasn’t pairing when I connected it

Lets hope that the reason for which your controller is not responding is empty battery. There are two ways to charge DS4, one through USB port and the 2nd is the port next to Headphone jack. For charging through the 2nd port you need dedicated charger, you can get one for $10 on shopping sites or mall.
