    Hi all,

    Hope someone can help on this or had experienced same.

    I have a ps4 since just before xmas, I got a second controller for it too. The ps4 got pretty low usage it until I got bloodborne recently, and no drops / falls with the controller. Ran out of juice today and tried to use the second controller and it won't charge or work over USB.

    The strange thing is firstly when I plug it into the USB on the ps4 it flashes orange once then nothing, ps button won't work, wont let me get into the PS home screen etc, but the one flash means it's getting power right.. There is no flashes when I press ps button

    Also, if i use the working controller while the dud is plugged in and go to device settings, it shows the second controller there, but no option to connect,its greyed out.

    I've tried resetting the controller, safe mode, restarting while plugged in / out. Different USB leads, charging from phone charger, the works.

    If it was an issue with controller Bluetooth then it should still work when plugged into the console... If it was a ps4 USB issue then the second controller wouldn't work.

    It's doing my head in! As if bloodborne wasnt enough of that already :) . Anyone any ideas? Any input would be hugely appreciated.
