My DualShock for is stuck on a yellow charging light after I set everything to default. It’s not pairing to my ps4. I tried EVERYTHING. I tried every usb wire in my house but nothing would work. I watched YouTube videos on how to fix this but they wouldn’t work. Any solutions?

@RogerRoger I also tried my second controller it seems it doesn’t work either. It worked perfectly fine before. I bought the magma red controller in 2019.

@Kredient Try holding down the power button on the PS4 when you turn it on and doing the 'rebuilding the database' thing

Google 'rebuild ps4 database' if you're stuck

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Ugh. I had this ps4 for a long time. It’s the first version. I did have these problems before but I fixed it. But this isn’t solving.

@RogerRoger is it possible to do it without the controller? If so, how?

It’s alright. Ugh. I can’t afford to replace my ps4.

@Kredient Right, sorry, didn't realise both your controllers were on the fritz. You could try and borrow a controller from someone, although that might not work either. You could get a USB keyboard from somewhere and take it back for a refund/exchange when the job is done, but then you risk being stuck with a broken PS4 and a keyboard you didn't need

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Thanks for all the help guys. I might try to take it to the geeks at Best Buy. I am not sure.

@RogerRoger I have a question do I need a specific usb cable to pair my controller? Such as a data cable.

If you haven't already, try plugging the USB cable into a mains adapter, like you probably have for your phone, or a USB port on the PC. You don't actually have to charge them from the PS4 itself.

Edit: wait, I totally misunderstood the problem 😅

Have you put a pin or needle into the hole on the back of the controller by L2? You probably have but just checking.
