DualSense Blue Flashing Light, Does Not Start PS5 From Rest Mode – How To Fix
The problem is pretty simple. When you’re trying to hit the PlayStation button in the middle of the DualSense controller, it doesn’t register your input. As such, you will have to turn on your PS5 manually, and turn it off completely to fix the issue.
We should note that putting the PS5 in Rest Mode will not work either; you must completely turn off the console to erase the issue. Once you have done this, you will be able to use your DualSense to fire up the PS5 again from rest mode by pressing the PS button.
We hope that you have found this guide useful.
