    A weird bug that happens sometimes is that your controller may disconnect indefinitely if it's being charged via a different source (like a USB outlet or PC). A prolonged amount of time like this could "hardset" the controller and it won't be able to sync back with the console. If this happens, your best bet is pressing the reset button on the back and turning your PS4 on with the PS button via the controller while they're connected.
    It happened to me while I was in the middle of a game and was forced to restart. Frustrating, but thankfully nothing was actually wrong with it.

  • @anikaree8129

    Ok everyone:
    If you have no other controller connected:
    Connect a usb keyboard to your ps4
    Using the keyboard go to settings>devices>bluetooth devices>and if your controller that is disconnected is already saved click enter and F3 on your keyboard and then press forget device
    Now you will put your controller in pairing mode by holding the PS button and share button until the light starts flashing. Your controller name should pop up on your settings screen and press enter then yes to connect.
    AFTER SO LONG THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME❤️
    Note: you may have to scroll down on the bluetooth device list to see your controller’s name

    Hi, i have honestly tried everything and nothing works.
    When i try the restart button method, it flashes white and then yellow and then turns off straight away.
    When i try pressing share and ps button together it flashes consecutively and then shuts down again.
    Sometimes when i plug it in the cable it just stays yellow.
    When i hard reset the ps4, the controllers work for about 20 seconds as they are blue and then randomly disconnect.
    Its not the controller or the cable as i have 2 controllers and they both arnt working and i use the cable to charge my headphones. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

    Thank so much John! My PS4 controller’s USB input got messed up and I forgot that it was messed up and connected it to my IPhone. I wanted to play my PS4 again so I go to connect it back to the PS4 with a usb cable then it hit me that it was messed up. Luckily thanks to your videos you showed that I could just disconnect the controller then reconnect it with Bluetooth. Have a good day!

    To help y'all, I had it aswell stuck and searching for a while got me frustrated.
    So let me explain.
    I did the controller reset stuff and all, if you don't have an extra controller like I did. Use your TV remote to go through settings of your Ps4 when on ofcourse. Most of the TV's will work with the remote that came with it, use it as your controller!
    Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth.
    Try with your remote to forget all your known devices on your Ps4. (Click on a Dualshock and then get your hands on the options button to forget the Dualshock and all other Bluetooth devices connected)
    Now, I tried cable connecting, safe mode, reset and all that kind of solutions.
    Simple push the share button like 3 seconds, then the PS home button and it will flash 2 times very fast, bluetooth is now searching, aswell as your Ps4 does, and there it goes! Select it with your TV remote to Register.
    Now it has to be connected! Let me know!

  • @richardwestenra
    @richardwestenra 3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    This video was super helpful, thanks! I had 3 MicroUSB cables with me, but none of them were working. I've found in the past that for some reason, pairing only works with the original cable that came with the PS4 - annoyingly it looks just like any other USB cable so it's easy to misplace. I managed to use my TV remote to control the PS4 over HDMI-CEC, but when I put the controller into bluetooth pairing mode, it didn't show up.
    What worked for me was, I reset the controller with a sewing pin (don't know if this helped or not), then went to bluetooth devices and had it forget all the existing devices, and only then, when I put my controller into pairing mode, did it show up in the list of available devices. I think forgetting existing controllers was the key to fixing it. Hope this helps somebody.

      @SoMuggyFresh 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This happens when you play while charging. It will eventually bend the connector on the USB cord. It's not the controller, just buy a new micro USB cord. You should be able to find then for cheap since micro USB is being phased out for USB C.

    My 5 different usb cables charge the controller, connects just fine to every other device (phone via bluetooth and pc via bluetooth and cables) but no matter what i try (reset button, reset in console, turning the console off and letting it sit for a while before retrying, etc), it wont connect to my ps4..
    Only my really old broken controller (L1 and L2 are locked in place) connects fine, my two new controllers that aren't even a few months old refuses the actual console itself. The controllers blink like they are trying to connect but just wont with the console.
    What could be the cause of this? its not like the cables are broken or the controllers or the console's ports either. (side note: this only started happening with the controllers after i used them on different devices, worked fine on the console when i bought them, just havent used the console in a while)
