Hi all,

I have a very weird thing thats happening to one of my DS4 controller and I apologize in advance if this is not the correct subforum to post. Note that I've scoured the internet, forums etc to search for a solution but i just cant seem to find any.

Issues:

- Controllers Bluetooth will NOT connect to the PS4.
- The controller can ONLY be used if its connected via cable on the PC. I use it mostly to play Witcher 3 on Steam.
- When connected to PS4 via cable, only the orange light is turned on.
- Pressing the PS button does nothing. Not a beep. No lights. NOTHING!


Failed fix attempts :

- tried resetting
- pressed PS button and options
- pressed reset button (5sec) in the back
- connected cable to ps4, did hard shut down to invoke database rebuild

If you sifu's know of any way I can fix this, it would be a great help! Also, is it fixable if sent to shop?

Thanks in advance!

Yes for tried different cable.
No for USB. will check it out tonight.

Is it fixable if the above doesnt work?

thats always the easiest fix sir. i most definitely can afford it, but i'm just more driven for the knowledge of fixing the controller.

noted with thanks. hmm.. odd. how can the USB be damaged...

oh, no LegendLee. My controller works fine when connected to my PC via USB cable.

the issue is it it's not detected at all on my ps4. i dont know whether its a battery issue or bluetooth issue.

cant. the controller doesnt even light up when i press the PS button. meaning that it wont be receiving or transmitting any BT signals.

I can't recall though i'm not discounting the possibility. noted on the quick charger.

i will try and do a battery swap and see if that works and possibly the USB board as well.

thanks guys! will update.

well heres an update.

i dismantled my controller, took out its USB charger board out and replaced it with another controllers (working) USB charger board. i also swapped its batteries and guess what: my controller still doesn't work!

how la liddat.

my thoughts as well. im still waiting for my USB board to arrive then i'll really make my decision. right now, even after swapping the battery and USB board, the controller still wont turn on. (yes, the swapped battery was fully charged.)

well i've swapped the boards for the USB board and it doesnt work. i guess i'll just use it as a wired set on my PC. thanks guys.
