Help Needed: Can't Connect My Controllers to PS4 After Using on PS5

-

Hey everyone! I’ve got a bit of a problem. I connected my Gioteck PS4 controller to my PS5, and ever since then, I can no longer connect it or any other controllers to my PS4. I’ve tried resetting the controller and have followed pretty much all the fixes I could find online. I’m hesitant to buy a new controller since it might be an issue with my PS4 instead. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Quick check: Are you using a USB cable that actually supports data transfer? Sometimes the cables can just charge and not connect for data. That might be the issue here!

I’m not entirely sure, but I’m using a USB Type C cable with the PS4. The controller lights flash, but it doesn’t seem to connect.

I remember that holding down a couple of buttons on the controller can put it into Bluetooth setup mode again. If you’re looking for more instructions, I found a helpful link that might guide you through it. Hope that helps!
