Thanks to the development of technology, the problem of entangled wires in game consoles was solved. Now, all modern consoles are equipped with a wireless joystick connection system. The gameplay on the PS4 depends on a stable and high-quality response from the joystick, however, even the most modern technologies fail, and many gamers are faced with the problem of signal absence or delay.
Why the gamepad does not connect toPS4
It is very easy to understand that the joystick was malfunctioning - there is a light indicator on its end, the color of which changes depending on the activity of the game mode. If the light signal is stable, then the devices are connected and ready for use. However, it often happens that the indicator light is on or flashing white. This means that there are problems with synchronization. After one or several unsuccessful pairing attempts, the color of the indicator changes to yellow. This means that the joystick is not working.
There are several reasons that prevent gamepad and console from syncing:
- Error in the synchronization process itself.
- Signal Lock
- An error or malfunction in the software.
- A technical error.
Based on the complexity of the problem, you can fix it yourself or contact a service center. The latter method will be relevant only if none of the above methods has led to a solution to the problem.
ATTENTION! If the problem is connected with the "brain" of the console, you should not try to solve it yourself or contact the "craftsmen". Technical work of this level should be carried out by qualified specialists in a service center.
Depending on the cause of the malfunction, there are several ways to resolve it.
If the signal is blocked, first of all, you need to check if there are any obstacles to its passage between the gamepad and the console. The cause of the failure can also be a large distance between the console and the joystick. For diagnostics and synchronization, you can connect them using a USB cable. If an error or malfunction occurs in the program, you must reset the settings by pressing the Reset button, and then start the synchronization process.
IMPORTANT! If the indicator light on the controller continues to flash white or yellow, it means that the cause of the breakdown is a technical malfunction. In this case, you must take the joystick to a certified service center.
It happens that exclusively safe mode is enabled. As a rule, such a malfunction occurs if the controller was connected to a PC. In this case, the gamepad may not synchronize with the console or work only in safe mode. There are several ways to fix such a malfunction:
- hold and hold the Hard reset button for 20 seconds;
- make a complete reset;
- replace the microcircuit that is assigned the functions of pairing the console and the joystick.
ATTENTION! The procedure for replacing the board should be carried out exclusively by qualified craftsmen in the service center.
It happens that a light indicator flashes on the controller, and the console does not work. To eliminate such a malfunction, you can perform a complete reset of the settings and download new software.
It happens that the device does not charge. If the battery is low, interruptions may occur with synchronization. In this case, it is necessary to replace the power battery in the joystick. If the replacement did not solve the problem, you can try changing the charger cord or the connector for connecting it.
Above were listed the most common reasons why the gamepad does not connect to the PS4 console, as well as troubleshooting methods. If you could not get rid of the problem on your own, you must contact the service center for diagnostics and repair of the console.
