PS4 Controller not connecting to PS4 and won't reset?

Solution 1:

I've had this problem a couple of times in the last year, and the following steps fixed my problem each time. I tried resetting controllers, PS4 database, and all the usual steps people suggest in this thread and others.

• If possible, use voice or another controller to turn on the PS4, and power it down completely (not rest mode)
• Unplug PS4 for 2-3 minutes
• Plug PS4 back in
• Attempt to turn on using the controller that wouldn't connect. It should now work fine

Solution 2:

Hold the PS-button and Share-button simultanously for some seconds while the PS4 is turned on. This will reset all connections of the controller and searches for a new one. If this doesn't help, try different USB-cables after resetting. If that also doesnt work, your controller is probably damaged.

Solution 3:

If you have another controller go in devices > bluetooth and delete all controllers except on with green dot by it and then press ps button and share button on controller that won't connect it will show up in bluetooth devices
