I took my console over to a friends to update files as he has a quicker connection. When I got home none of the controllers will connect. It says to use usb and press the PS button... doesn’t work. I have tried using safe mode but once again the same issue.
I have unplugged, waited, reset the controllers and none of it works. I can’t get to any of the main menus to do anything it’s just a screen that says to connect using USB and to press the ps button or reregister the controller...
Even when going into safe mode you have it’s says to plug in usb and press PS button.. it just doesn’t work... no safe mode menu at all just the message to connect and press ps button.... the controllers are fine... no issues... I have tried 4 different controllers... @Kidfried
Found out what the issue is (even though I don’t why this happens in the first place!) Most cables you can buy are not DATA cables, they are purely charge and play cables. In order for it to send a message from the controller to the console, you need a DATA cable... generally those supplies when you get with it... however, my console is over 4 years old and cables replaced.
Sounds simple, and it is... when you have the answer!!
