Playstation 4 controller repair

[ArcticPhoenix0]

So I have a PS4 controller that's not charging the battery or lighting the LED when plugged into power. It's been used hard in a house with smaller kids that don't necessarily take care of things and I'm not sure where to begin diagnostics. It seems that power is making it to the board but it's not coming out of the other side to the battery pins. Anybody ever worked on one before? May be easier to just replace it.

That guy fixes stuff (mostly consoles) for a living and shows how to do it. Since he usually does a larger batch of the same item, some regular defects become obvious, i.e. those should be checked first.
