Sony PS4 DualShock 4 Wireless Controller - Sunset Orange, Special Edition

Product Information

Although starting your PS4 in safe mode overcomes a lot of firmware issues of both the controller and the console itself, you need to remember that if your console’s USB ports are flawed, then it is not possible to start your PS4 in safe mode. Because Mac OS and Windows systems are slower, we encourage downloading the app on Android or IOS devices.

To do so, you’ll need a Windows PC (must be Windows 10/11, 64-bit) and the DualSense wireless controller app. Yellow represents that your PS4 controller is up for charging, while white light indicates that the PS4 is not connected or the battery is low. Just like your PS4 your controller has it’s own software that can get corrupted, doing the above method will set your controller back to factory defaults and hopefully fix your problem.Testing the input signals is required to figure out why the PS4 is not recognizing your DS4 controller. If resetting the console and controller did not help, you can try turning the PS4 on in safe mode and check if it works.

An orange flashing light on your PS4 controller could indicate charging problems, firmware or hardware problems, or a malfunctioning controller. To find out what is causing your PS4 controller to flash an orange light, begin with disassembling the controller. But if the light remains orange as you play, or if it turns steady orange, you may need some troubleshooting. In that case, you have to replace the conductive ribbon film strip of the DS4 controller, it only costs 2-5 USD, but you will have to open the controller to replace it, if you can do it by watching a youtube tutorial, go ahead else get it replaced by an expert.If you don’t own another PS4 controller to implement this method, you can temporarily use your android/iOS phone to remote control your PS4. Playing on your controller while it charges slowly lowers the time that the controller can hold a charge.

PS4 controllers were the first to introduce the DualShock technology and had many advanced features not found in older controllers. It’s a course packed full of different courses that teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know about becoming free by starting an online business, with tons of testimonials on YouTube, plus an exclusive community, weekly podcasts, and much much more. Now is the time to turn your console on and wait until the screen says ‘Press the PS button to use the controller.When the PS4 controller flashes orange light, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem unless it blinks.

As mentioned before, a flawed conductive ribbon film strip can fail to register some or all the button inputs, so we need to check if the PS button is working or not. All PS4 controller light colors have a particular meaning; however, the PS4 controller orange light is a little bothersome. And watch out for other signs the controller needs attention, like if it keeps vibrating unexpectedly, or if it simply won’t stay connected to the console.

Note the light, and if it changes to blue or orange color, it indicates that the cables were faulty, and now the controller is charging. You have to turn off your console again by pressing and holding the power button, as mentioned earlier in this guide.
