  2. Navigate to the System option and select it.
  3. On the System screen, go to the System Software Update and Settings.Update PS5

  5. While turn on Download Update Files Automatically and Install Update Files Automatically to update the PS5 automatically.

Your PS5 Console has one USB-A Port in the front and two USB-A Port on the rear side, and needless to say, there’s one USB-C Port on the front.

If not, then immediately plug the controller into the rear port and see if it works.

Charge DualSense Controller with Alternate Cable and Power Source

Sometimes the Console may not be delivering the thorough power supply to the Controller, due to a corrupted cable or power source. In such cases, I’d strongly advise you to charge the controller using an alternate cable and use a Laptop or PC as a power source.

Clean the Charging Ports

The dust and debris could block the power flow and stop the charging. Therefore, make sure the charging port of the DualSense Controller and the Console itself. Do it carefully using a toothpick or blow some air.
