To resync your PS4 controller, you will need to follow a few simple steps. I have personally gone through this process multiple times, so I can guide you through it.
1. Start by turning off your PlayStation console. This will ensure that the controller is not connected to any other device while you resync it.
2. Now, locate the reset button on the back of your controller. It is a small hole that you can find near the L2 button. To access the reset button, you will need a pin or something similar that can fit into the hole.
3. Once you have the pin ready, press and hold the reset button for a couple of seconds. This will reset the controller’s connection settings and prepare it for resyncing.
4. After releasing the reset button, grab a USB cable that is compatible with your PS4 controller. Connect one end of the cable to the controller and the other end to one of the USB ports on your PlayStation console.
5. With the controller connected via USB, turn on your PlayStation console. You can do this by pressing the power button on the console itself or by using the power button on your controller if it is already synced.
6. As the console powers up, press the PS button on your controller. This is the circular button with the PlayStation logo in the middle. Holding down the PS button will initiate the resync process.
7. If the resync was successful, the controller’s light bar should turn a solid color, indicating that it is now connected to the console. You can then disconnect the USB cable from the controller.
8. test the controller by navigating through the PlayStation menu or launching a game. Ensure that all buttons and functions are working correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to resync your PS4 controller and continue enjoying your gaming experience. Remember to always keep the controller charged to avoid any connectivity issues in the future.
