If after following these steps, your controller still doesn't connect, try unplugging the AC power cord for 30-60 seconds. Check out this video for more context: czcams.com/video/IUDtuOHVqFM/video.html&feature=shares

[@susanemmerich7409]

"Power cycle", while the PS5 is on, doesn't seem to power cycle while off, did the trick, thank you.

[@BearSwiftly]

Yea, your console needs to be powered on to be able to properly cycle it's power supply. I don't know why they call it power cycling by the way; makes me think of cycling fsr.

[@shrimpserm]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER

[@eunicehernandez9124]

[@taslimasalim1739]

Hi there. Please help me going crazy.. my PS5 switches on like normal but the controller has that flashing blue light. It works on the screen for a few seconds and then it either goes white or orange and then stops working. Can't do anything on the screen. Although there are animations on the screen, I can't do anything because my controller not allowing me to do so.

[@Josh-sj1tc]

Did u find a way to keep it on working

[@yamezzy6727]

Thank you this worked great

[@ixrare1466]

I got scared for a sec. 😂 I thought my controller will never connect. Thanks for the video

[@bkjenkins09]

I have been dealing with this issue since November. Unfortunately I haven't been able to circumvent this issue because I have to hard reboot every other time I play my console

[@kamel_toah7480]

Bro it literally worked. Thank you so much

[@nexuscamcam3062]

This worked for me I had just gotten my ps5 6 months ago and I thought that I had to already get new controllers but using this method fixed it for me

[@zafirgaming755]

Yo this helped so much bro thanks

[@kaidengervais]

Thanks bro this helped so much

[@danielaghedo9551]

For anyone that is stuck,
Just get a keyboard to sign into the ps account then go to the Bluetooth option and connect. It worked for me so I just thought I would share that

[@BearSwiftly]

Nice, that's the kind of info we need shared around here, well done!

[@erfaneslamloo2342]

Where is the bluetooth option

[@BearSwiftly]

@@erfaneslamloo2342 go to settings, accessories, and it should be under General. You can connect, disconnect, or delete your controllers, turn off accessories and Bluetooth from there.

[@Braldyy]

it doesn't let me disconnect the controller and when I leave the Bluetooth settings it doesn't let me go back

[@Braldyy]

I can't even connect to the wifi because it immediately says "something went wrong

[@alexranieri6111]

Worked here! Thanks

[@BearSwiftly]

Happy to help, I know it's pretty frustrating for a lot of folks, especially since we don't even know why it's happening. Mine started the week I got a brand new controller direct from Sony, so I figured it was a software glitch.

Right? "Sony, what happened, my $70 controller is acting like it don't know me...Let Me In!!!"

[@haydenford420]

If this still isn’t working the way I did it was download the PlayStation remote play app and connect to your console then go to settings, accessories then Bluetooth then delete your pad off of the ps5 then hold in the ps button and share button on the controller at the same time then the pad will apper on the Bluetooth devices go down to it then just re connect it and that should work

[@tay44.]

when i do that it just takes a screen shot and takes me off the accessories

[@UnfadableConnectTV]

This works thanks

[@xopv4833]

I did both and it didn’t even work

[@Ninjagojay508]

I tried to click on it but on the right side x and other buttons dont work can someone please help me or should I send it to repair

[@BearSwiftly]

Just an FYI to everyone who finds their way here, there is supposedly an update that has just been released, as of 5/3/2022, that is going to fix the majority of these controller issues. I'll do some research on this patch, and if it's warranted I will do an update and share my findings with you all.

[@jorgearathtames769]

Bro the issue is still going on for me, would you happen to have any updates towards the situatuon

[@BearSwiftly]
