My ps tv won’t connect to any controller I think my usb may be broken

Hi, I finally found a solution.

PROBLEM: my modded PSTV USB port was not giving any sign of life anymore. I tried every single method of connecting a PS3 or PS4 controller, nothing. The port was not charging controllers, so it seemed dead. Some threads pointed to insufficient power being the issue. I found my original PSTV power unit, but still that did not solve the problem. My PSTV being hacked, I did not want to got through the pain of resetting everything to factory standards and reinstalling everything.

SOLUTION: I connected a PS3 controller via Y-cable to a USB power unit and to the PSTV. It worked! Then I could also pair my PS4 controller. All set!
