    I've bin having some problems updating the system software on my ps4 and now all that comes up is the black screen that says "cannot start the ps4". The people in gamestop that when you press the ps button to start the ps4, keep a hold of it and a rebooting options menu will come up but unfortunately my brothers friend also has a ps4 and my brother brought the controllers over to his house and connected them to his PS4 and now my ps4 wont recognise my controllers. What should I do?

    If you use the cable, the ps4 will recognise the controllers

    Is there an error code? Try searching for it if there is.

    Try also pressing the tiny reset button on the ps4 controller with a paper clip then plug it into your ps4 and press the ps button on it.
