Try restarting your PS4 with USB cable attached. If it still doesn't work you can try restarting in safe mode.

It has lost its sync with the PS4, only option is you need a 2nd controller to reactivate the 1st. I had a similar issue few months back. Tried everything. This is the only option.

I dont think so, I read somewhere the controller has a reset switch on the back, near one of the screw holes. Must be clicked to reset. Mentioned in this video:

Could remote play work? Like on android you get these onscreen buttons. Maybe that could work.

Im not sure if this could work, but if you a PS3, the PS4 controller works with that as well. You could connect it to the PS3 first....

Are you sure you're using the right cable with the PS4 controller ? There are some USB cables which only charge your controller and some cables which charge + transmit data. Make sure you're using the latter. Same thing happened with me, changed the cable and it worked.
