If your PS5 controller won't turn on or charge, try these steps: Ensure the USB cable is functioning by testing it with another device. Reset the controller by inserting a pin into the small hole on the back, holding it for 5 seconds. Connect it directly to the PS5 instead of a hub. If these steps don't work, try charging another controller with the same setup; if that charges, your controller may be faulty and need replacement.
