Thx bro this actually helped I was trying to play with my friend and it wasn't working until I watched this video. thx bro

[@danielbaldry3931]

Thankyou so much i just bought a new controller and no matter what i tried it wouldnt connect,thanks so much man!!!

[@aligaming4267]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I ALMOST BROKE PS4 TY TY TYSM!

[@thajuicemane]

I was so close to giving up !! All the other videos didn’t help. I finally got it thanks

[@TheRealTakeDown]

Glad I could help!

[@duzoone3838]

it can also be your TV, modern TV's has a setting with the ps4 making the remote controll the dominant one making your ps4 not the main one, you turn this off in the systems settings and un check ENABLE HDMI LINK DEVICE, that is what is causing the problem, you put the tv in hdmi mode and turn off the tv and turn it on again, it should start your ps4 with the controller working, then go to system and uncheck, worked for me and it was the only thing out of all the " fixes " that worked. i hope this helped !

[@thegreatgentleman]

Your a savior 👍🏼

[@hotrodavery]

Why would my controller disconnect and give me a blinking blue light, it will reconnect after turning off the ps4 but then it disconnects all over again.

[@planetsypherrecords]

You deserve as award for real!

[@arayan_skywalker8888]

My controller is on a different level. It won’t turn on at all but your advice could work for other people

[@Tai_kehn]

Explain again please?

[@dom9366]

You Are A Legend bro, thanks so much it actually works.

[@lust4248]

I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with my console.
FIX: Download the app “ps remote play” turn on the console and in the app click search and it’ll connect to your PlayStation. It takes a while so be patient. Once your phone is connected go to the console settings, Bluetooth and then on your DualShock controller hold down options and the home button until it starts flashing and it’ll pop up in your Bluetooth settings to connect. Hope that makes sense? Once it connects it should be back to normal

DO YOU THINK SONY learns a lesson with wireless controllers? Major headache with ps3 wireless controllers that cannot turn on or charge, now PS4 controllers have problems too? WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT= BRING BACK WIRED CONTROLLERS PLEASE because there was never a problem with PS2 wired controllers not turning on or not connecting. AT LEAST have wireless controllers with 2 inputs, one input wired normally like a ps2 controller where it doesn't rely on a stupid rechargable battery inside, then if you want that wireless, remove that wire and plug it into the other input on the same controller with the battery inside to fully charge the controller so you can make it wireless if you so desire to get the headaches. GET IT?

[@TheRealTakeDown]

Wired controllers will never be back. They are out dated. Wireless is the way to go. I've never had an issue with the wireless feature. Only analog drift which PS2 had as well
