Controllers for the Valve Index VR Headset released on June 28th 2019.

Turns on then off. Light from orange to white, no more charge

I can turn on the controller, but after two seconds it immediately turns off.
I plugged in with a cable meter, and the controller accepts a charge at 0.5w with an orange light, but after 2 seconds, it then goes to 0.0w and the light turns to white, as if it has a full charge.

Letting it trinkle-charge for 10 minutes, then unplug and hold down the System Button, doesn't change anything.

This feels like a battery issue, because the controller can turn and stay on if plugged in to an external power source. It can no longer hold a charge of the advertised 7 hours minimum.

Solution retenue

After doing my own repair attempt, as seen on my posted guide: I found that my specific controller had glue on its battery connector (from the manufacturer; the controller was never opened before). Replacing the battery with a third party didn't exactly solve the issue until I reinforced the connection on the board. It's likely that, if many Index controllers have had bad battery connections during manufacturing the printed circuit boards, the problem may not be the battery but the connection to the battery on the board. Either way, opening up the controller is the only way to solve this issue.
