    Bro thank you so much! I've been watching like millions of other videos already and none of them works. Everybody keep telling me to try to connect the controller with USB cable but nobody is telling me except you to try it with multiple different cables and it works! Once again thank you so much!!

    This will work 100% I tried everything! But didn't work.. I thought I was completely done for.. but my problem was the cord.. even if the orange light comes on, don't mean it will pair your controller but it will charge it. Wish everyone good luck! This man deserves more subs!!!

    there are 2 types of micro USB cables, one if just for charging/power, the other is a DATA cable, it charges AND transfers data, so your cables arent bad they are just "charge only" cords, Find a data cable and label it for future reference

      @@Scrobthe only thing that seems to work for me is to hard reset my console by holding the power button until it beeps 3 times and use the controller to turn it on after. It works sometimes for a day or 2 with no issues then it won’t connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices properly. I think it needs new receivers for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but I’m going to try to return it to GameStop and swap it for a different device because this one can’t be functional. I bought the ps4 April 9th not even 30 days and it’s been doing this non stop

I was looking through the comments because I was like surely I’m not the only one having this issue and so I seen a comment saying that even though my controller lights up when I put the usb in it doesn’t mean it’s able to pair it back. Ok soooo I found another usb cable that’s actually able to pair them and charge them, so glad I was able to find this cable because I was going to have to get new controllers!

    My controller has no issue connecting whether it's through bluetooth or USB (I have many cables that work just fine), my problem is that if I pair the controller to anything (PS4, PC, smartphone) and turn it off, after 5 seconds it'll brick up for over a minute, then it works again but it'll forget the last paired device. While connected it has no issues, hell I once played for 5 hours straight and didn't disconnect once or anything. I mainly play on PC, though, where it's particularly tedious to pair a bluetooth device if I have to do it every single time I want to use it, so I don't feel like using it at all if it has that issue, and I don't want to use it wired all the time either (I'm kind of fed up with wired controllers in general after having used them my whole life).
    My biggest annoyance with this whole thing is that I replaced the stock analog modules with hall effect analog modules over half a year ago, so just replacing the whole controller is even more difficult for me. Of course, I could just desolder those analog modules and use them with a different controller (theoretically they should work not only with PS4 controllers but also Xbox One and Series controllers since they have the same resistance) but, why do I have to do any of that!?
    Oh well, in the meantime I still have my trusty DualShock 3, which has never failed me.

    • @Scrob

      That's so weird! Might be a motherboard issue. Is it possible you may have damaged the motherboard when soldering? Even a stray spark of static electricity can cause a short, or so I've heard.

    • @inendlesspain4724
      @inendlesspain4724 3 місяці тому

      ​@@Scrob I don't think so, I hadn't opened the controller in months when it happened. Looking around, it seems to be an incredibly rare issue, but it's happened to other people who, as far as I know, never opened up and modded their controllers like I did, so it seems to be unrelated to anything I could've done to the board, plus it's the cleanest desoldering work I've ever done, so I'm sure I wasn't careless, and I further cleaned the board several times since this issue started. I've heard of at least one account of someone who claims their controller "decided to fix itself one day".
      When I got the issue, I was binging the main three Batman Arkham games and was 3/4s of the way into Knight's campaign (did a 120% run, which took me almost 60 hours in total), and my play sessions would sometimes last up to 5 hours. Maybe my controller hated being used so much in so little time, but then again, my friends use their controllers way more than I do and they never got that issue.
      Currently it's inside a drawer with its battery completely discharged. Besides that one guy who claims his controller fixed itself, I've also heard of flat TVs that wouldn't turn on or show any image, that remained unused for over a year and suddenly worked again just fine. Maybe if I don't use it for a while it'll "fix itself" eventually.
