If your PS4 controller (DualShock 4) won’t connect to your PlayStation 4 (PS4), you can try several troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue and reconnect it. Below is a concise guide to fix the problem and connect your PS4 controller to your PS4, based on common issues and solutions.

Troubleshooting Steps to Fix PS4 Controller Not Connecting
Check the Basics:

Charge the Controller: Ensure the controller has enough battery. Plug it into the PS4 using a USB cable (the one that came with the console or a compatible micro-USB cable). Let it charge for 10–15 minutes. A flashing light on the controller indicates charging.

Inspect the USB Cable: Use a known working micro-USB cable. Some cables are for charging only and don’t transfer data, which is needed for pairing.
Restart the PS4: Turn off the PS4 completely (not Rest Mode) by holding the power button or selecting Power, Turn Off PS4 from the menu. Then turn it back on.

Reset the Controller:
Locate the small reset button on the back of the controller, near the L2 shoulder button, in a pinhole.

Use a paperclip or thin object to press and hold the reset button for 3–5 seconds.

This resets the controller’s connection settings, clearing any pairing issues.
Reconnect the Controller via USB (Wired Pairing):

Turn on the PS4 and sign in to any user account.
Connect the controller to the PS4 using a working USB cable.
Press the PS button on the controller. The light bar should light up (usually blue), indicating it’s paired.

If it connects, you can unplug the USB cable to use it wirelessly (if charged).
Re-Pair the Controller Wirelessly (if USB pairing works):

Go to Settings, Devices, Bluetooth Devices on the PS4.
With the controller connected via USB, press the PS button to register it.
Disconnect the USB cable and press the PS button again to connect wirelessly.

If the controller doesn’t appear, press the PS button and Share button together for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode (light bar flashes rapidly).
