PS4 Controller Won’t Connect? Fix It FAST in 2 Minutes!
5If your PS4 controller (DualShock 4) won’t connect or pair to your PlayStation 4 (PS4), the most common issues are Bluetooth interference, desyncing, low battery, or a faulty USB cable. Below are step-by-step solutions to fix the problem and successfully pair the controller.
Steps to Fix PS4 Controller Not Connecting
Check Battery and Charge:
Plug the controller into the PS4 using a micro-USB cable (preferably the original or a data-capable cable).
Let it charge for 10–15 minutes. A flashing light on the controller indicates it’s charging.
Press the PS button to see if it connects via USB. If it does, the battery may have been too low for wireless connection.
Inspect the USB Cable:
Ensure the micro-USB cable supports data transfer, not just charging. Some third-party cables are charge-only.
Test with another compatible cable if possible. A damaged or low-quality cable can prevent pairing.
Reset the Controller:
Locate the small reset button in a pinhole on the back of the controller, near the L2 shoulder button.
Use a paperclip or thin object to press and hold the reset button for 3–5 seconds.
This clears the controller’s pairing settings, resolving desync issues.
Re-Pair the Controller via USB:
Turn on the PS4 and sign in to any user account.
Connect the reset controller to the PS4 with a working USB cable.
Press the PS button. The light bar should light up (e.g., blue for player 1), indicating it’s paired.
If paired, unplug the USB cable and press the PS button to test wireless connection (if charged).
