How to fix a dead usb port on PS4?
One of the front usb port on my PS4 suddenly stopped working.
Neither charging nor connecting works using a corded controller. The very same controller connects and charge fine when plugged into the other usb port.
Since i have one corded and one cordless controller i wish to have both the ports available to charge the wireless at anytime without unplugging the corded.
What can i try at home before sending it for repair?
Is there any expansion devices to obtain multiple usb ports from the one still alive? Would a powered usb hub work?

If the port turns out to be really broken and the problem is only charging two controllers with one port then you can take a look at dualshock twin charging station. There are many available and they are quite affordable.
