A blinking white light usually means your controller is trying to connect to your PS4 but can't find it. Try resetting the controller with the tiny reset button on the back or pair it again using a USB cable.
Been there! For me, the blinking white light happened when my PS4 was having trouble recognizing the controller. I fixed it by resetting the controller, and it worked like a charm. Use a paperclip to press the reset button on the controller’s back, then reconnect it with a USB cable.
Your controller might be low on battery, so plugging it in to charge could solve the problem. If not, it could be a connection issue - try using a USB cable to re-sync with the console!
It can also happen if there's interference from other Bluetooth devices. Try turning off other Bluetooth gadgets nearby.
