Mine does when it s charged via a wall.
Wall charging ds4 does the light turn on.
If this issue persists your ps4 may need to be serviced.
And the freezing the light stays there all the time the only way to turn it off is pressing the reset button.
Powered off the ps4 is powered completely off.
Found this video online and tried it.
My pc don t have bluetooth if i right click the usb icon i does nothing and if i close ds4windows the controller flashes the orange light but it didn t charge.
I have tried resetting it and i have tried it with multiple charging cables which definitely still work as my other ds4 controller still works and charges fine.
The controller didn t charge it does nothing pressing ps button after disconnecting.
Are y all aware of any tips or tricks that make use of the ds4 with the ps3 easier.
When powered off the system cannot charge controllers via usb download content or install content.
But outside of a few particular instances i generally find it to be quite a nuisance.
Plus you don t have it reflect off your screen when gaming.
Working as a grown man s night light this is one instance where i actually appreciate the light bar on my playstation 4 s dualshock controller.
It s late and dark i m playing dying light and admittedly i m a little creeped out.
I ve never done it but i m not sure the lights will come on because that s a firmware thing i think.
Verify power to base by removing bag from base.
Controller was sitting on a table for a week not charging definitely no contact with any liquids or anything likely to wreck a control it just won t turn on or charge.
After charging has completed the light bar on your ps4 controller will turn off.
Clean base led will not turn on until robot placed on base.
My ds4 charges pretty fast when plugged into the ps4.
Cover the first 4 pins if you don t want to.
Worked flawlessly for me.
Maybe it s because the ds4 can be used on pc and it s waiting for a sync that s why it doesn t stop pulsating when plugged in.
If you push the power button and the system does not turn on please double check your power connection.
Why would it be different i wonder.
Fyi cover the first pin to remove light when in use but still see it when charging.
Now my controller lasts 1 3 longer.
The light goes away after fully charged i haven t tried charging with a pc yet.
Red led will light up.
