How can I reboot my PS4 joystick?
To reboot your joystick, you need to do the following: Connect the joystick to the set-top box via USB. The process of new synchronization with the console will be activated, and your joystick will return to normal operation.
If the first method did not work out for you, then try resetting the settings of the equipment itself. Place the joystick with the back side facing you and find the hole with the L2 button on the body. Insert the needle inside and press the hidden button. Hold it down for a few seconds, and then you will need to sync the controller again.
Important! The joystick uses a Bluetooth connection to connect. If it is connected to some other device, first disconnect it before connecting to PS4.
Possible problems when rebooting
It is quite possible that after the console is rebooted, the PS4 will no longer see it and connect to it. However, do not be alarmed ahead of time, because solving this problem will be very simple.
Troubleshooting
To resolve the above problems you will need:
- Enter safe mode and proceed to install the latest version of ps4 software.
- There is also another method for which you will need a working controller. It’s good if you have a spare one, but if not, then take it from your friends. Use it to go to settings>devices>Bluetooth devices. And then click “remove all non-working devices.” Then, on the idle joystick, click on “Share” and hold it for a few seconds, and so on until you see that it lights up. Then two devices appeared on the screen. Use a working joystick and use it to select the second one, then the connection will occur with the set-top box. Then you will see a notification asking you to link your device to your account. Click "yes" and you'll be done.

In reality, the joystick was still working, until the moment you had to enter the game and press the “X” button, it didn’t work! I pressed the reset button in the garden and connected via the cord, everything started working! Thank you.
Thanks for the help! I didn’t even know about the hidden button)) The joystick froze after turning on the pc. I pressed it once with a needle and it turned off, and then turned on normally. This is the first time this has happened in many years))
