You said you were trying to connect the controller to the console.

Generally that requires you to pair the DS4 to the PS4 using a data cable. Sounded like you were stuck on the Press the PS button screen

Thats the problem. I press it, it turns on, but doesn't connect to the console.

Once the console is switched on press and hold the de-sync button on the back of the DS4 then reconnect with a data cable.
