If your PS4 controller isn't connecting to your console, try these steps to troubleshoot and repair the issue: --- ### **1.

Restart Your Console** - Turn off the PS4 completely (not in Rest Mode). - Unplug the console for 1–2 minutes, then plug it back in. - Turn it back on and try reconnecting the controller using the USB cable. --- ### **3. Check the USB Cable** - Ensure the USB cable is functional. Test with another cable to rule out a faulty one. - Use an original or high-quality USB cable for better results. --- ### **4. Re-pair the Controller** - **On the PS4:** Go to *Settings* > *Devices* > *Bluetooth Devices*. - Locate the controller in the list, then select it and choose "Forget Device." - Turn off the PS4, connect the controller via USB, and press the **PS button** to re-pair. --- ### **5. Update the Controller Firmware** - Connect the controller to the PS4 via USB. - Check for any system updates for your PS4, as they may include fixes for connectivity issues: * Go to *Settings* > *System Software Update*. --- ### **6. Test Bluetooth Functionality** - If the controller works via USB but not wirelessly: - The controller's internal Bluetooth module might be damaged. - Try connecting it to another PS4 or device to confirm. --- ### **7. Inspect for Physical Damage** - Check for visible damage to the controller's charging port or buttons. - Use compressed air to clean the charging port. --- ### **8. Replace the Battery** - A faulty battery can cause connection issues. Replacing the internal battery might resolve the issue. --- ### **9. Try a Different Controller** - Use another controller to determine if the issue is with the PS4 or the specific controller. --- ### **10. Factory Reset PS4** - As a last resort, reset the PS4 to factory settings to clear any software issues: * *Settings* > *Initialization* > *Initialize PS4* > *Full*. - **Warning:** This erases all data, so back up your system first. --- If none of these steps work, the controller may have a hardware issue requiring professional repair or replacement.
