Your DualShock 4 controller should work fine most of the time. It can be frustrating when your PlayStation 4 controller doesn't respond or disconnects randomly. Let's take a look at how to fix a PS4 controller that isn't working so you can go back to your favorite games.
PS4 Controller Will Not Connect or Pair
Normally, when you press the Putton on the controller, it will turn on and connect with your system. If it isn't connecting, the light bar will flash on your controller for a while before turning off.
This happens often if your DualShock 4 is paired with another console. The PS4 controller attempts to connect to that device. If you ps4 controller flashing white light won't connect, the controller will try to connect to that device the next time it turns on.
You will need to repair your DualShock 4 and connect it to your PS4. You will need to connect your controller with your PS4 via a micro-USB connector. You should ensure that the cable you use is of high quality and works well.
After they are physically connected, press and hold the PST Button on your controller. The light will flash briefly, then turn blue. (Or another solid color, if you have a controller already connected). This indicates that the PS4 controller is successfully paired and connected.
You can pair your DualShock 4 with another device nearby, such as a phone or PlayStation 5. If this happens, you will need to turn on the other device to connect the controller. Turn off the other device that your DualShock 4 is currently paired with and unplug it.
You can now use your controller wirelessly after you have repaired it. The PS4 will keep track of it until you pair it with another device. In the meantime, the PS Button should automatically connect as soon as you press it.
You can only have four DualShock 4 controllers connected to your PS4 at a time. To make space for four more controllers, disconnect the ones you have already connected.
