Bro you are a legend, thank you so much. I tried everything else - tried pressing the small button behind the controller, tried different cables, tried charging it, tried different controllers, tried to use remote control app but this is the only thing that worked for me. Leaving it wired to the PlayStation before switching it on helped. Thank you so much my man

THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING ELSE WITH NO ORIGINAL CORD OR SECOND CONNECTED CONTROLLER lol thanks dude I have three other controllers not connected 😂

[@austinofford9611]

After watching multiple videos of "tricks" to connect the controller, this one finally worked. It was short, simple, easy to understand. And not a 6 min. video of unnecessary explaining

thanks mate! after the reset it connected immediately! I tried for some minutes pair with none original cable with no luck. never knew there was a reset button!

To whoever having this problem i have found this fix by myself and i thought id share it to everyone who needs help since i’m surely nobody knows of this, but all you need to do is open your controller not hard it doesnt need you to do many big things just open controller and carefully disconnect the flex cable that is connected from the light to the motherboard and connect it back and it would work

If you are still having issues like this, shut it down from the power button. Wait for it to fully turn off. Reset controller. Unplug ps4 power cable. Hold power button down for 15 seconds. Plug ps4 power cable back in. Then turn on ps4 with ps button on the controller.

Have ones of your controllers (if you do ) and log in and go to settings and click devices. Then go to Bluetooth and do the Bluetooth flashing thing and after a little while it should say dualshock 4 in pairing click it and you got a new controller
