Controller does not charge, connect, reset, ps button plus share does not work... help [duplicate]

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

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.
