If your PS4 controller isn't discoverable, ensure it's fully charged. Press and hold the PS and Share buttons simultaneously until the light bar begins to flash, indicating it's in pairing mode. If this doesn’t work, try resetting the controller using the small reset button on the back; you'll need a paperclip to press it. After resetting, attempt to pair again. Also, verify your PS4's Bluetooth connectivity is functioning properly to exclude issues beyond the controller itself.
