My very good friend just had the same exact issue from the flashing controller, to the capture card and you legitimately just saved her whole freaking life with this video. Thank you so, s o much with our whole freaking beings for letting this video exist. You and that one random redditor are absolutely legendary. Please have an amazing life, you rock.
Thanks for this great video! Even with this info., I had such a hard time fixing this at first - only to find out I was using charging cables - right plug sizes, but the cables weren't able to handle data. I found an old Turtle Beach USB cable, and that worked perfectly.
It really helps! I got it bricked and willing to update it via Usb and the controller didn't work... only using different cables I found out the one who actually works. Thx man!
This works in 2022, also a reason it may only work with some cords is the same reason some iPhone chargers don’t work unless they have a chip in the end that verify its a genuine product and ps doesn’t want a shitty cable plugged into it
Best Video on this subject on you tube period. This guy knows what he is talking about. The others only repeated what each other was saying the fix was, and they were all wrong. Suscribe to this guy and ring the bell!!
Thank you Daniel for the amazing commentary. I'm glad this worked out for you. Always like explaining the situation to help others in troubleshooting. Sometimes it could be the exact issue, then other times it could be something else. Take care and enjoy your holiday! --Sage
Thank you so much! I was going to buy the controller but gave my self another chance going on TH-cam to see if anyone else had the same situation and found your video. Took some time to find another cable but oh man it worked! Thanks a ton!
Finalllyy thank you bro this really helped! It took me a bit to find the cord, I thought I was screwed since I already tried a couple which didn’t work
Bro I thought my PlayStation was dead!! Thank you so much for sharing this video! If I hadn’t seen this I would have definitely gone and bought a new one!
I tried several different usb cables, and on a blog a guy said to change the hdmi port that was connected. I don't know what the relationship is, but it worked perfectly, my controller started working again in safe mode using the same cable that came with the console 8 years ago. I hope it helps
@@SageTheProfessor Yes, as I understand it, it said it was being recognized, but due to some corrupt data in the system, the video on the screen did not change, then when I changed the hdmi to another input on the tv, it sent the information to the screen that it recognized the dualshock 4
I've done it. But I'm scared that it will happen again if I chose the wrong option. Do I put update system software?? I don't know what to do. Forgot to mention you saved my life. My ps4 is my escape to reality and I haven't played for days maybe months. Thank you. You are a real life saver
Keep trying my friend. If you can't find the right cord, may need to get an official one. Got a link in the description to help you find it. Best of luck!
Thank you it got it working the thing was I was plugging my USB into my PlayStation and it wasn't the original so I looked around for a stronger one and it was good after that thanks again
Just wanted to drop a comment saying I just had this problem put a new SSD in my ps4 and couldn't get a controller to connect thank you for the video took a half hour to find a working cable but I finally got it
This worked perfectly for me, like you I tried everything and it didn't occur to me that it would be the cord itself causing all the issues, but after changing out the cord I was able to get to the safe mode menu screen
Completely forgot bout USB in the back. Even though it was super dirty taking everything out and only using the back port. Control worked immediately but I would of never done that without your video thank you so much
This hasn’t worked for me so far. No matter which cord I use it does the same blue flashing. It’s weird though cause each cord makes it flash in different durations
Dude you’re fucking awesome! Thank you so much, you explained everything like we were having a casual conversation rather than speaking nonsense. Thank you man much appreciated, you earned my sub!
I'm so stoked that this helped you. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment about your experience. Makes this channel worth wild. Let me know if you have any ideas for content you want to see and thanks for the sub. -Sage
You saved me money but, more importantly, you saved me from my little brother's whining that his ps4 wasn't working. Liked and subscribed and forever a fan.
OMG, your video was very helpful in a way! My controller wasn’t connecting and I don’t have much cords so I knew I was fk’d. But I just held down the power button and it bypassed this message and connected plus turned on :)
11 months later and your still helping people. Thanks again
The work is never done. Just glad it's helping.

Glad it worked out. After Horizon Forbidden West, I'll play Elden. Tell me how it is though.

Changing the HDMI port? That's new. I'll test it out and see if it works. If it does, will add to the video. Thanks!
