@@Cloudszephyr Couldn't Figure it out definitively. I dissected everything and did power flow/battery testing and everything checked out. My best guess would be that some sort of voltage surge (probably related to a dirty, 12 y/o console) nuked the board. If your console or cables are old or damaged I'd suspect them. I have also caused this issue using a cellphone charger in the past. Good luck
I literally dont understand what is happening to my devices. 1 day its perfectly fine, the next, it just stops working completely. I have literally never dropped it.
Same here. I literally just got a new controller last year since my old one stopped working due to controller drift and I couldn't do anything to fix it now the new one is having troubles. I was just charging it one day and it kept turning on and off when I wasn't pressing anything so I thought It was being hacked but a few days later, it didn't want to turn on properly. I had to keep pressing it. Now it won't turn on at all and it won't even charge. It was charging just fine the other day and it wasn't drained. Sony must be on some bs Edit: it just turned on somehow but I'm not keeping my hopes up lol
@@Milio196 I'm sorry this reply is so late! I just now got a notification for it 😭. But yes, I just pressed the ps button and it turned on but that was literally the last time it turned on lmao. It stopped turning on completely but would charge? I ended up getting a new one and since then, I had to go through 4 controllers that literally stopped working(mainly drift) within a month of me using them. If I didn't have a warranty on them, I would have blew up since the previous one didn't have one. The most recent one I got had drift within like 2 months of me using it and I sent it to Sony. Since then, I haven't had any issues luckily but it's only been like 2 months so I'm not holding my breath lol. I kept them clean and played gently(didn't even play games with a lot of movement in the first place like cod) yet they still messed up on me. They're definitely being made to have problems because I NEVER had any issue on ps3 and one of the controllers I used was literally cracked open lol
Thank you so much! My controller was connected to the console because the power button on the controller would still turn on my PS4, but none of the buttons would work after that. None of the other videos I came across offered any solution until I came across yours. For those experience the same issue, Fix #4 should help!
Hi HZZV! Sorry you're still having troubles with your PS4 Controller.

I tried different usbs and keep it on charge but says it’s disconnecting because it has low battery my speaker audio doesn’t even work which is weird but probably a issue with the circuit and the micro USB port looks the same as my other controllers
FOR ALL, all you need to do is to connect a usb keyboard to playstation, to go on settings>devices>bluetooth devices>dualshock 4 and press on keyboard f3 and press "forget device" and then press ps button and share button at the same time and that is
Im not sure whether youll answer or not but please help. I connected my controller to my brothers ps4 to use it but because i left my charger with him my controller wont connect back to my own ps4 I've tried using my nephew controller charger to connect back. It charges tho, but it doesn't pair up when i turn it on. What should i do?
For the power cycle processure you say to have the usb pluged in to the control and system before unplugging but the say after to plug it in very confusing seeing how it should be plugged in already
My controller charges but when I hit the PS button it doesn't turn on, when I plug it in yellow light glows and it charges. I even hit the reset button multiple times it doesn't seem to work. Any clue on how to fix this?
What if your controller only connects with one cable, like literally it only works with one singular one and that one only? More in depth to it being that charger being the only one the controller will be turned on by, my controller is very loyal to a charger of mine.
My controller randomly stopped working one day. When I plug it in the console, the LED pops up for a moment, then shuts down (like when you just charge your controller but the batteries are full). Then, when I try to turn it on it does nothing. I've dropped accidentally once or twice in the past but it worked just fine. What should I do?
This didn’t solve my problem so PLEASE help? As I’ve got two official PS4 controllers that display a orange light when I press the PS button to turn them on. I’ve tried the hard reset using the hidden button you’ve mentioned MANY MANY times but neither of my pads will even turn on?? When I connect them to my PS4 using the usb cable on one the light flashes orange once then completely disappears on the other it doesn’t show any colour light at all? I Which is driving my 3 kids, me & their mum crazy as no one can play multiplayer! PLEASE help me fix them ASAP?
my controller charges and works fine except it refuses to connect even though it has connected multiple times before and it still says its connected in the devices tab in settings on my ps4
I have a bit of a problem. I just got a brand new PS4 controller and I plugged it in to let it charge, I let it charge for about an hour and it won't turn on, so assuming that it's the charger that's not working I change it but it still won't turn on. Any tips or ideas as to what I should do?
@@hal0ismyt all the comments show different, everybody just say “Yay Yay Yay Thank you” no one actually say what part of the video helped and was originally wrong with viewer controller
When I plug in my ps4 controller, it turns orange then shuts of. I hit the button to turn it on then it just blinks blue and shuts off. Does anyone know how to fix it.
Thank u bro I was about to play the game and it wasn’t working and my controller was off and I pressed the button and it didn’t turn on and then I reseted it and it turned on

idk y but my controller charging and everything i but it’s like my ps button in pressed down even tho it isn’t so it’s turning off on its own and turning on on its own ,how do i fix the ps button area
I just took apart my controller to fix a joystick problem, cleaned out with alchohol and blown with soft air and when i put it all together it didnt start or charge, maybe i destroyed the power with alchohol 😕
@@eepyviper i still have not. i'm not actively looking for solutions though lol, i guess we have to trace the contacts from the output of the battery, but i have not seen an indepth guide on it
My ps4 controller only works when plugged into the console. When plugged, everything works fine, controller says it’s at full battery. Unplugged, I press the power button and no lights are on, nothing is working. Is it a battery problem? Please help
My controller is working when only pluged on a charger and when i removed it, it turns off Also it doesn't open without charger plugged in. How can i fix this?
Well doesn’t work , mine is like a different kind of problem it does charge but it just doesn’t turn on but, if I try an turn it on using the Bluetooth pairing method it does work and connect but after a few seconds it turns off by itself and yes it shows that it has a full charge too so IDK what the problem is.
Bro nobody gets if my ps4 is weird I can't connect a controller to it and my others are broke but when I try to plug in a USB to connect it the controller will not turn on but when I unplug it then it turns on so I can not connect it no matter what help
Here is my problem: My ps4 dosent turn on but when it does it shows me that I need to plug in my ps4 controller with a USB cable, and when I do it the controller blinks once then turns off. I tried to hold the small button on the back for 10 seconds but still the same problem. Please help.
My controller was working fine this morning but wasn’t turning on at all when I got back. It was even flashing white like how it does when it’s simply not connected the the console. Solution #4 fixed it immediately. To turn the console back on I pressed the ps button on my controller while it was on the charger after I unplugged & replugged in the the power cord from the ps4. Thanks!
Mine sometimes it doesn't turn on and doesn't charge but most of the time it does it's just for like afew hours where it doesn't work then it works for days
@Tamim13R Basically you plug both controller and console/pc via cable and restart the device. After the device starts, remove the cable and plug again multiple times. Then the connection was established in my experience.
