Dualshock 4 was connected to an old ipad.
Next time it would be used with the PS4 console it couldnt connect to it.
Found a solution guide which said press the little reboot button on the DS4 with a pin, and followed the guide several times. Have also rebooted the console but without success.

Is the controller dead as a doornail?

I believe the ipad is to blame but I cant figure out how. It works fine with the ipad, but even if I turn the ipads bluetooth off, the controller still wont connect back to the ps4.

If it doesn't work by plugging it in with USB then switch your console off, switch it on by keeping your finger on power button with it plugged in USB.

Yeah probably.... I dont want to spend another 40 bucks on a controller though :/

Ah will try that! But I doubt it will work :/

I sometimes have to do this when I've used my controller on something else.

If you have another controller, you can get your ps4 to forget the old one and start again. Devices, Bluetooth, then forget the old controller.

You desynced it . Connect it to console via usb cable, then try without. Does light comes up? If so it works just desynced

I'll try it again tonight after work, it seems I've done everything and that stupid ipad bricked it haha

 

[scalman]

Dont believe you bricked it.

Same thing happened to one of my controllers. Have no idea how to fix it

It should work with the usb cable -repairing method. I had similar "problem" when paired one with my phone.

It just works as intended = you pair it with one system = it wont reconnect to another without using the cable first

 

[Mista]

Plug the USB cable in it and it’ll work again. That should’ve been done without any guides

 

[obin_gam]

Starting it with usb cable connecting the controllern and console doesnt seem to work.

Use the reset pin on the back, reconnect via usb, press ps button

Apologizes for the typos in the title hehe, too little coffee today

Use the reset pin on the back, reconnect via usb, press ps button

Also this is tried, was in one of the first guides but it's the same. He controller just doesnt exists in the world of the console.
Will try the Safe Mode video when I get home today.
