I've literally no idea what's going on, but my guess is the battery. I was not able to power it back on last night, but it worked just fine this morning. I've cleaned it with alcohol, dried it, put back together and was able to play another 40mins when it died. I decided to disassemble it once more and inspect it, there are no visible signs of any burns etc. It worked for around 30mins when it died again, refusing to power back on. Yesterday I accidentally picked up the controller thinking it's the other, working one, and to my surprise it powered itself on and connected just fine. It randomly powered itself off and refused to power back on again, did not respond to charging whatsoever.Īt first I thought it might be an issue with the charging socket (replaced it several times on different controllers, always worked, but not this time). My DS4 (1st gen) stopped working all of a sudden around 7 months ago.
I'm facing a related issue (at least I guess so).

If you disconnect the USB cable, it will automatically switch over to Bluetooth, so BT still works, but I have gotten so used to just playing with a wired Dualshock 4 that I haven't played without a USB cable connected since the day the firmware update allowing USB communication was released, so about a year and a half now.
Selecting "Use USB Cable" tells your PS4 to always transmit via the USB cable when it detects that your controller is connected to the console with a USB cable. If you have the new ZCT2 model DS4, the one where you can see the lightbar through the touchpad, you can go to Settings > Devices > Controllers > Communication Method and select "Use USB Cable." Since I switched over from BT to USB-wired communication, I haven't had a single issue with my controller turning off. The only thing I can figure is that the problem is some kind of interference causing the Bluetooth connection to drop.

It wasn't until I got my PS4 Pro with the new model Dualshock 4, which allows for USB communication instead of Bluetooth communication, that I was finally able to get my controllers to stop turning off randomly. Sony sent me all new stuff and I still had the same problem. I had this problem about four years ago- mine would shut off and the only way to turn the controller back on was to turn the PS4 off and back on- and ended up sending my PS4 and two DS4s in for warranty service. Question: When your controller turns off, what happens if you try to turn it back on? Does it actually turn back on or does it just flash white repeatedly then shut off again?
