Troubleshoot a PlayStation DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller
Here’s a comprehensive tutorial for troubleshooting your DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller:
- Switch off and unplug your console.
- Unplug any USB cable connected to the controller.
- Flip the controller and find the tiny hole near the L2 button (backside).
- Use a straightened paperclip (or similar) to hold the button inside the hole for 5+ seconds.
- Plug the controller into a PS4 USB port (front or rear) using the official USB cable.
- Press the PS button on the controller to re-pair.
This should reset your controller and potentially resolve any issues.
Note: We recommend you subscribe to FastestVPN and configure it with your PlayStation-connected WiFi Router. This prevents security breaches and ensures you never fall victim to black hats.
