To fix a blinking PS4 controller that won’t connect as of March 25, 2025, you can troubleshoot the issue step-by-step. A blinking light (usually white or blue) often means the controller is trying to pair, has a low battery, or has a connection problem. Here’s how to resolve it:

Check the battery by pressing the PlayStation button. If the light bar blinks briefly or not at all, plug the controller into the PS4 with a USB cable. Let it charge for 15-30 minutes, then try pressing the PlayStation button again to connect.

Reset the controller by finding the small reset button on the back, near the L2 trigger. Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold it for 5 seconds. Then plug the controller into the PS4 with a USB cable and press the PlayStation button to pair it.

Test the USB cable with another one, as the original might be faulty. Connect the controller to the PS4 using the new cable and press the PlayStation button to see if it syncs. Ensure the cable supports data transfer, not just charging—some cheap cables don’t.

Re-pair the controller manually if it’s still blinking. Go to the PS4 home screen, navigate to Settings with the left thumbstick or D-pad, and press X. Scroll to Devices, then Bluetooth Devices, and press X. With the controller off, press and hold the Share button and PlayStation button together until the light bar blinks rapidly. It should appear on the PS4 screen—select it with another controller or the synced one and press X to connect.

Turn off nearby devices like routers, phones, or other controllers that might interfere with Bluetooth. Then try pairing again using the Bluetooth Devices menu or USB cable.

Restart the PS4 by holding the power button on the console for 7 seconds until it beeps twice. After it reboots, plug in the controller with the USB cable and press the PlayStation button to reconnect.
