Double-check that your DualSense controller is properly charged. Plug it into your PS5 with the USB cable and wait a few minutes. Sometimes, the battery is just too low to power on immediately!

Try a different USB cable or port! Your cable might be faulty, or the port on your PS5 might be acting up. Happened to me once, a quick cable swap did the trick!

Make sure you press the PS button firmly for a couple of seconds. It can be a bit finicky sometimes.

It could be an issue with the controller's internal hardware, though that's kinda rare. If nothing works, you might need to contact Sony support for help.
