Solution to Flashing Blue Lights on PS4 Controller (How to Reconnect to Console)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2024
  • IMPORTANT: Buying a new charging cord is not required for this to work. However, you will need an extra controller that does work and is still connected to your PS4. If you don't, see the pinned comment down below. Also, if this method does not work, try getting your friend to forget the device on their own PS4 console as well. Otherwise, this method should always work.
    This was a problem I experienced after taking my ps4 remotes to my friend's house and then bringing them back to my house, only to find that they wouldn't connect back to my console. When I tried to look up the solutions on Google and TH-cam, I couldn't find any. If you were like me, hopefully this video will help...

    For those of you who don't have a second controller, I didn't either and just used the second screen controller on the PS app ☺️

    After days, weeks and months of trying, I came across your video whilst traveling through possible resolutions.
    By following your method, it’s worked! I can not believe it.
    My other control appears completely dead but a new one I just bought worked through your method.
    Thank you so much!!!

    This video is really good and he is very good at describing all the issues but if you don’t have another controller I know it’s probably not good for the software lol but just unplug the power cord plug your controller into the ps4 and press the ps button to turn it on and it automatically pairs. But now I know how to fix it when I have a second controller lol. Super useful fs!!

      Justthatblackgu Yeah, idk what to tell you. I'm assuming you tried shutting off your PS4 and then trying to turn it on with your remotes? Some videos say that will help. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of would be to go out and buy a new charging cord, but I still don't know if that is guaranteed to work.

    I transferred data from an older PS4 to a N.O.S PS4 going cheap using a controller wirelessly. Exact symptoms u described with controller........For the info and appreciate I am late posting here to your video, but its the only one that works for anyone else needing to confirm. Furthermore the toothpick reset is not required, I just deleted or FORGET device, press Share and Home 5 second duration and a new device pings up. Accepted and back to normal. Thank you for the up-load and hope it helps others that will run into this problem. I am unsure if a cable is required for this operation but I used one anyway as you described.
