I'm using my PS4 dual shock controller to connect to the fire stick on the tv so I can play games with it but whenever I try to turn my controller on all it does is flash white and I am using the USB that came with the console and it won't even charge.

Final answer:

If your PS4 controller is flashing white and not charging when connected to the Fire Stick, try resetting the controller, checking the USB cable and connection, and trying different charging sources. If the issue persists, contact Sony customer support.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flashing white light on your PS4 controller and the inability to charge it using the provided USB may indicate a connection or power issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Reset the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back of the controller with a paperclip or a similar object. Then, pair it again with your Fire Stick.
  2. Ensure that the USB cable is securely connected to both the controller and the Fire Stick. Try using a different USB cable or a different USB port on the Fire Stick if available.
  3. Try charging the controller using a different power source, such as a wall adapter or a different USB port on your computer.
  4. If none of the above steps work, your controller may have a hardware defect. Consider contacting Sony customer support for further assistance.

Remember, the PS4 DualShock controller is primarily designed for the PS4 console and may not be fully compatible with all devices. However, with the right troubleshooting steps, you may be able to get it working with your Fire Stick.

well i'm not gonna suggest you unpiecing your device because you sir probably lack the skills of doing so but what i will suggest to you is to press your share button and you p playstation button at the same time for at least a minute than try charging it again if that solution does work i would advise tring to unopiece the device but by doing carefully and slowly and remembering where each pieces are staying and i want you to take out the eos system and putting it back in and then piece back together and if that solutiuon doesn't work call playstation or email them or go ahead and go and try to repair it or you can  go and BUY A NEW CONTROLLER. hope i helped have a good day bro.
