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.
