Sony PlayStation DualShock 4 Controller - Glacier White

Product Information

Finally, test the new controller via PC to check if all the buttons are working via the 'Test' tab of the 'Game Controller Setting'. If it does not blink like an SOS light, you might have a different issue and can be resolved by resetting the controllers or changing the USB cables. Driver Easy will detect the drivers condition in your computer, and install the correct drivers for your PC. Moreover, if your PS4 controller light bar color is stuck on red then it has nothing to do with any of the reasons illustrated above. I am currently at my wits end trying to figure this out, I have tried all the steps to pair my PS4 controller back to my PS4 after using it on my PS3.

There are two main reasons you might see the flashing white light on your DualShock controller: either the battery is dying, or the controller failed to connect to your PlayStation console.

When I plug it in using the USB it does the slow orange light blink but after when I press the PS button it's dead again. Although it doesn’t really matter, I’m wondering if the controller is failing or if something else is at work. Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software): Wipes the entire content of the hard drive, including the system software. Some games though use all PS4 controller light bar colors as a notification of the level you’re playing in the game.

I have the same problem ive had two controllers and a charging port for two controllers and have alternated in between when one dies I have never used it while charging but it won’t turn on and when I charge it the orange light blinks once. If the button 13 is highlighted, this means your PS button register is corrupted and your conductive film is damaged.If you have checked your USB cable is plugged correctly and it doesn’t lose when connecting, you can try another USB cable to see. You can use a few different methods to fix this problem, stemming from swapping out the USB cable you're using to resetting the console itself. This solution allows the PlayStation 4 to update the system software via Internet, USB Drive, or Disc, so that the problem in your system can be fixed. Playing on your controller while it charges slowly lowers the time that the controller can hold a charge. One of the most straightforward fixes is replacing your old USB charging cord and replacing it with shiny new ones.
