Why is the PS4 controller’s light solid white and not connecting/responding?
There can be several reasons for this PS4 controller issue. It could be a problem with the PS4 controller itself, or it could be an issue with the PS4 console. Let’s take a look at each of these possibilities in detail.
PS4 Controller Issues
One of the most common reasons for this PS4 controller problem is a faulty or damaged PS4 controller. If your PS4 controller is not working properly, it’s likely because of a hardware issue.
You can try resetting the PS4 controller to see if that fixes the problem. To do this, you need to press the PS button and Share button simultaneously for about 3 seconds. This will reset the PS4 controller and hopefully fix the problem.
If that doesn’t work, you can try connecting the PS4 controller to a different PS4 console to see if it works properly on that console. If it does, then the problem is most likely with your PS4 console and not the controller.
You may also want to change the PS4 controller USB cable as it might be worn out and cause this problem.
PS4 Console Issues
If the PS4 controller is working properly on a different PS4 console, then the problem is most likely with your PS4 console. One of the most common causes of this PS4 issue is corrupt or damaged system software.
You can try restarting your PS4 console to see if that fixes the problem. If that doesn’t work, you can try reinstalling the PS4 system software. Be sure to back up your PS4 data before doing this so you don’t lose any progress or save data.
To reinstall the PS4 system software, you need to go to the PS4 Safe Mode menu and select option 3: “Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)“. This will delete all the data on your PS4 console and reinstall the PS4 system software.
If you’re still having this PS4 issue after trying all of the above, then it’s most likely a hardware issue with your PS4 console. In this case, you’ll need to contact Sony for further assistance.
