Its crazy how this just starts happening right before ps5 this happens to me like twice a week and every single controller cant be detected just solid light blue light but i can turn the system on but nothing else

It just keep blinking white, and not connecting

I have found a method which requires 2 controllers (Including the controller that won’t connect) with a working controller go on to settings and Bluetooth settings and forget all DualShock controllers expect for the one you are using( the one you are using will have a green dot next to it) and with the other controller hold down the share button and ps button till it starts flashing and then it should show up on the Bluetooth devices then save the controller. I hope this helps

This just worked for me

Turn your PS4 off
Connect via USB
Hold PS4 power button ( on console)
Till it beeps twice ( you should load into safe mode)

Your usb controller should work

Updated software
Restart
///Update
If your controller is not working when your console boots in safe mode, try replacing your USB cable

If you are like me 30 minutes ago after playing on mobile through the remote play app you go ahead and try to connect your controller to the PS4 but suddenly there is a blue flashing light and your screen says press PS button but you are and it doesn’t work DO NOT go into safe mode unless you are sure your controller will connect through a wireless connection if not do what I did because safe mode was just another problem I had to get out of. So what you need to do is restart your PS4 by having it on then holding down the power button until the second beep after that don’t press anything it will turn itself back on once you have done that any errors preventing you from getting onto the app will be resolved once this is done open PS4 remote play and go to settings and forget all controllers once done hold down the share and PS button on the controller for 5 seconds then it will show up and through the mobile device register the controller. This works on all platforms. You’re welcome.

Been having this problem for over a year now, if your ps4 freezes and your controller is blinking white and won’t connect just turn off your ps4, wait until the ps4 light stops blinking . After that Unplug the power cord from the ps4, wait 15 seconds then plug it back in . When you have plugged the cord back in the ps4 make sure to connect your controller to the usb charger and wait until the ps4 turns on fully . It’s gonna say press the middle button once it turns on but instead of pressing the middle button make sure you restart your controller by poking the lil open hole in the back of it . After you have completed these steps press the psn button and it should work . It’s crazy how many people have this problem for it being a million dollar company

I was having the same problem my solution was to find every USB cord in the house and try every single one and eventually it worked

I was panicking because all the other videos didn’t work but you saved me ❤️

Boys, I tried doing the thing he said and it still wasn’t working. Did it 3 times and still no luck. Then I spammed the ps button on the controller out of rage and it works now 😂

[Exo-Manic]

Two years later still helpful thanks bro I just subscribed

[yaboizero.]

What I did which worked:
1.Unplug the ps4 while it's on
2. Do it with it plugged in a usb
3. Turn it back on and wait it reset
4. Once it tells you to connect, press the Ps button and it should connect and work

No problem :)
