Hardware Controller Power Question

[Skeet1983]

Hi guys, I hope you all can help me out with a question regarding PS4 Controllers. Anyway, my nephew got a got a PS4 for Christmas last year and when he turns it on, his controller turns off and wont stay on. Thinking it was his controllers, he bought new ones, but they do the same thing. The game/tv/unit stays on but controllers turn off.. Suggestions? Thoughts and help greatly appreciated on this

Did you connect the DS4 to the PS4 using a microUSB cable?
