I’m having the same issue. Screen says, "Connect the DUALSHOCK 4 using the USB cable and then press the PS button." I’m using the original cables and they work on my friends PS4, so they are ok. If i boot in Safe Mode i still get the same screen message but with SAFE MODE in the top left. I can’t get past it no matter what i try. I have replaced the HDD but still everything is the same.
