Dualsense Charging Station Tear Down Guide

I got one of these that was thrown out at my local gamestop because they said it wasnt charging. I had the same problem where one of the pins was not being exposed when the plastic part moves down. I just used a box cutter knife and used the edge to bend the flattened pin upwards so that it was poking out again. Dont bend them too much because i think they need to make contact with the metal underneath the plastic but just enough to get them poking up again.

You could probably use a tweezers or other small metal instrument to do this as well.

I didnt need to disassemble. It seems like its easy to fold them under the plastic housing that the controller pushes down to expose the connectors.

Unplug the unit before doing this, to be safe.

I know this is old but I have just managed to repair my dock which had a broken spring contact and i didn't find much help. I used a pogo pin from Aliexpress:

SMD type 5mm height.

I had to widen the plastic housing a bit so it could fit through but it works.

I had the same problem, but when I tried to free the contact pin from the plastic cover it snapped. It's quite brittle metal. I was able to disassemble with the above guide and solder a bit of copper wire to the base of the contact and now it's working again. The contact base takes solder easily.
