How to Fix Flashing Yellow Light on PS4 Controller (Charging, but won't Connect)

Do you want to know how to fix the flashing yellow light on the ps4 controller that won't turn on, charge or connect to your PS4. This is very easy to do. The first thing to do is power cycle your PS4 by turning it off and then connecting your PS4 controller to your PS4 with a USB cable, when the controller is connected, press the PS button and this should connect the controller. Press it multiple times if it's still flashing yellow. This means the controller is charging and not synced to your PS4 yet. The yellow light could appear orange for people too. ...

Dude you’re a genius! I had tried everything! My PlayStation 4 is what controls the TV in my bedroom so when the controller didn’t work, I couldn’t watch TV. I had tried everything to get it to work. I finally came across your video. I did the steps that you said, and it finally worked so now I can watch TV in my bedroom again thank you so much!

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

Having a controller charging but not being able to be connect is like Manray trying to give Patrick back his wallet.

[@YoungBloodyNikkas]

Omm 😂

[@art_tbh]

ommm

[@wadenorgaard9988]

But that’s not my wallet

[@Sir_Richard_Crainum_lll]

Finally some actual good advice and it's not like all the others claiming to know the secret to fix problems like these but turns out to be guy explaining how to take off the faceplate for the majority of the video then blows us away with his amazing ingenuity know how as the guy opens a Brand New USB port w/ ribbon (Amazon PS4 controller USB charging port replacement set) an replaces it... Btw video titles of something like: "what to do" or" how to fix" ... when everyone including video creator damn well knows it's a trick of wordage to get more views. Correct title "how to replace PS4 USB charging port" 😑

[@dayzer7397]

Absolutely nothing works, I connected my ps4 controller to my ps3 and then tried reconnecting it to the ps4 and have tried every single method on the internet

[@II_QUESYSTREAMSMEN]

The fact that this worked is so heartwarming thank you man.🎉

[@alexxpaun2650]

FOR ALL, all you need to do is to connect a usb keyboard to playstation, to go on settings>devices>bluetooth devices>dualshock 4 and press on keyboard f3 and press "forget device" and then press ps button and share button at the same time and that is

[@2xRjayy]

Can’t get passed first screen

thanks bro u a g

[@bng2529]

Did but it keeps disconnecting

[@vsxy-f]

I'm commenting this in August 2022.
My controller was behaving the same way described here:
Turn on the PS, controller was blinking yellow once and it wasn't working. Furthermore, pressing the PS button caused the controller to blink white several times which was the signal that the battery is nearly dead.
After browsing multiple places, I found out the solution in my case which was TOTALLY UNRELATED...
I downloaded DS4Windows, a piece of software which lets you test your controller on PC. This told me my controller was actually at 100% battery, fully charged. And all buttons were working, too...
Then what I actually did was to boot in safe mode (long press the power button) and do "Restore Default Settings" - this will remove your PSN account logged in session (you have to login back and games are safe, no worries) and reset your internet connection settings.
Because that was my ultimate issue - the internet connection settings. The PS was trying to reconnect to my 5GHZ WIFI connection and was failing in a matter of moments causing my controller to become dead AGAIN.
So there are two workarounds:
If your router is dual band, use the 2.4GHZ connection instead (my approach).
Use a LAN cable instead.
I hope this helps... And thanks Sony for wasting 4h of my time troubleshooting after your crappy updates.

[@DeadsTheCrypt]

Bro tysm

[@yxng_bk10-_-83]

what a guy thank you bro

[@captainrayzox4434]

how can you long press the power button if if the controller dosent work?

[@vsxy-f]

@@captainrayzox4434 It"s been a while... the controller acted as if it were battery dead - white lights. And it wasn't working together with the console but as I previously described, debugging it with DS4Windows showed to be pretty much alive.
Also, used it wired ofc.

[@raycurtis2368]

Mine goes flashing into the flashing when to the consoles off.
But it's solid yellow light and doesn't respond

[@ghost_jwh7160]

Thanks for everything! This helped me and saved my whole ps4👍👍

[@sk_creamy8575]

I’m so happy I came across this video, I was waiting for the Mrs to bring up a charger from her house to see if it would work. Waited 5 hours for my Myra to get up to mine whilst I was getting on with house duties , long story short the Samsung charger doesn’t work and came across this video just in the nick of time. Life saver thank you for this video mate!

[@TheRealSaint2]

You are an absolute legend. Thanks. My 3rd controller (which was a replacement for the 2nd which broke) did not connect for over an hour but your suggestion to use the App at the end worked brilliantly.

[@cesargarcia6504]

Living Legend, thank you so muchhh🥴🥴

[@reg1m0nz83]

i have a question: does the type of micro USB cable you use matter for connecting the controller or not? because 9/10 times what I've read online is that the cable might be the problem. i've had to replace my cables multiple times just recently switching out a controller that doesn't charge with a new one, and that's the one that will charge when plugged in but won't connect.
i'll try this method though, totally forgot I could use the remote play app in place of a working controller!

[@sahvannah525]

mine still wont connect lol i tried everything

[@michaelr8651]

Some times shyts just broke bud

I did let it shutdown and once I turned it on again it wasn't working my controller was exactly what you're explaining was the solution for it thanks man I was freaking out the control was unresponsive only would turn on my PlayStation and not work after this worked my PS4 is really New I barely had bought it cause I sold a old one I had along time ago barekt had it for a year or two now I got it right out the store for only 200 brand new through a friend who would scam lmao but yeah my PlayStation doesn't make any noise or anything i hope as it gets old it never make the jet airplane fan noise i alway keep it clean thank you again this worke perfectly

Can someone help me please because my controler was blinking yellow and when I hold the ps button and look at the bottom where the controler icon is it says it's charging but I don't have it hooked up to the charger but when I hook the controller to the charger the light turns off, I have tried reseting, getting a new charger but I hooked up another controler that my friend gave me and it charges the controller, getting a new plug hole that let's you charge the controller and got a new ribbon cord for the controller too, a new battery that I know worked, and now I'm thinking it's the motherboard but I can't find the right model for the controler so someone please help me.

[@henrikpitkaniemi9829]

Thank you so much man❤❤

[@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle]

This is so annoying I did everything but the sync mode does not work. When I hold the ps button and share button down to enter pairing mode, it quickly flashes three times and then stops. I have paired controllers to PC in the past and I know it is supposed to continue the three quick flashes, but mine only flashes 3 times once and then turns off...

[@aayan6502]

same idk what to do if u find a solution pls tell me

[@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle]

@@aayan6502 i figured it out, I don't remember what I did though lmao, I got it working with another controller and I think powered off ps4, plugged in the broken controller and powered the ps4 on with it plugged in. Pretty sure that worked.

@YourSixStudios i got a problem my ps4 controller is not turning off at all like I'll press turn off device it will turn off for 1 second then it starts blinking yellow which means its charging and yes it does that wirelessly it just won't ever turn off. And i tried every possible way like turn everything off,different cables and power cords even paired and unpaired with the ps4 anf my phone it not turning off at all .i did everything that i mentioned and other things that you are thinking of that i didn't mention

can someone help me figure out why all 4 of my controllers completely stopped working ? 2 of them don’t blink at all, one blinks once and the other blinks twice.

Try syncing them back up use the remote app to go to the controllers in settings

[@smitanagarkar9769]

Hello, I'm wondering if you can help me connect a controller to my regular ps4. lol this is not your typical situation tho. Short story, connected controller to PC and then won't connect back to ps4. only controller for the system. I have tried 20 diff micro usb, bought a new micro usb from eb games and used the cable from my neighbor that came with his refurbished ps4. I also tried connecting his controller to my ps4 with no success. I've tried hard reset, and safe mode. I've reset the controller countless times. wasn't smart enough to set up remote play before this. can't get past "press ps button" also didn't set up hdmi cec before hand either. PC blue tooth was disconnected and device was forgotten about.

[@Hotstuff5743]

Could be the micro usb port in the controller is toast cuz those tend to be the first thing to fail. If u go to connect it to PS4 to re-pair it make sure it's the first USB port on the front of the PS4 cuz sometimes if u plug it into the bottom USB port the Playstation doesn't always recognize a controller is there. Least that's the problems I've had before.

[@SHAHIRGFX]

Yo same problem for me if u fix it help me if I fix it let me know u

[@scottmac8575]

@@Hotstuff5743 had to use a cable when I first purchased the PC to play as I didn't have a blue tooth dongle at the time with no issue. I also used the controller to check which of the 20+ micro usb cables I have that would transfer data. thanks for the help tho

Switch your controller function to USB cable instead of Bluetooth maybe?
