Right guys. So my ps4 is stuck on the update screen and my control pad has died. I have borrowed a neighbours ps4 control pad to get past this but my ps4 won recognise the control pad. I don't know how to resolve this. Can anyone help.

Plug controller into console, or put on charge for a bit

I have. I left it charge for two days. It's dead as a dodo

Try entering safe mode. Get to home screen and stop the update. Either turn wi-fi off or delete update. Try that

I can't do this as the control pad is absolutely dead. Broken.

Your neighbours control pad wired in safe mode should work
