If your PS5 controller is lighting up blue but not functioning, it's often a sign of a connection issue. Try resetting your controller: locate the small reset button on the back, use a pin to press it for about 5 seconds, then reconnect by plugging it into the PS5 with a USB cable and pressing the PS button. If this doesn't resolve the issue, the problem might be with the console's ability to connect to controllers, and restarting your PS5 or rebuilding the database from Safe Mode might be necessary steps.
