Afterwards I tried setting it to pairing mode once more, and voila the controller was detected by Windows.

I tried removing the battery and removing a small ribbon behind the battery slot (a Youtube video suggested it), but both resulted in the same behavior as above.įix Set the controller into pairing mode and connected it to my Android phone. I tried resetting the faulty controller using the small reset button on the back of the controller several times, but it didn't change the behavior of the issue (flashing light, solid, then off) Trying to change the driver of the controller to that of one with bluetooth working wouldn't work because Windows categorized the controller as an audio device (wired, only tried on one PC) Removing the controller in Bluetooth & other devices or removing the driver's for the controller in Device Manager would make device reconnect using the same drivers as before Turning on the controller results in a flashing blue light, followed by a solid blue light lasting about 10 seconds before turning offĬontroller could enter pairing mode (Holding the Share button and PS button), but wouldn't show up in Windows's bluetooth device scan on either of my 2 PC's (built with different bluetooth/wifi combo adapters)Ĭharged the faulty controller with a different cable to make sure it was fully chargedįaulty Controller could make a wired connection to both computersĬontroller was categorized under Audio in Bluetooth & other Devices and not under Mouse, Keyboard & Pen like the other controllers (both PC's, wired)

One of my 4 DS4 controllers stopped connecting to my PC through bluetooth This is a post for anyone who might be experiencing the issue I was going through.
