  1. PS4 Controller doesn't seems to work when connected


    I have a PS4 controller that has been working completely fine, I use it for games like Rocket League.

    This issue has been occurring since yesterday evening, I was playing in the afternoon and then I stopped playing for a bit, nothing on the computer changed e.g I didn't turn it off or anything, I just disconnected the controller and then I wanted to play again and to my surprise my controller wasn't functioning. The controller is connected via a USB -> MicroUSB cable. I found out that in the device manager I was getting an Unknown USB Device Device Descriptor Failed and I managed to get rid of that in hopes it would help me use the controller again but it did nothing apart from it going away.

    Here are the solutions I have tried:
    Unplugging and plugging the cable in both the computer and controller
    Updating USB controller drivers

    Restarting the computer several times during this
    Taking out the PSU plug and plugging it back in
    Using a completely new USB -> MicroUSB cable

    After all of this, each time reviewing whether the controller comes up in Devices & Printers, it just doesn't show up. The controller seems to charge fine as a yellow light comes on and then fades away but the controller itself doesn't really work.

    Nothing seems to work...

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

  3. PS4 Controller (bluetooth) connection issues

    My PS4 controller, which worked perfectly fine with my laptop until today, now won't connect properly. I try to connect the controller, and the controller just turns off. On my laptop it says the controller is connected, but the controller is obviously not.

    My drivers are all updated.

    I've already tried basic steps like restarting the computer.

    What should I do?

  4. PS4 Controller doesn't seems to work when connected

    Unable to connect PS4 controller to PC

    I can connect the ps4 controller just fine, my issue is that it wont show up at all after being paired. I have to unpair it, connect the device, enter the 4 digit code, it gets very tiresome. Method 1 didn't work because I had no greyed out devices. Method
    2 I have been doing, I am just trying to figure out a quicker way to connect it.
