Thanks Mundus,
I figured it out last night. The controller was fully charged . I had used the mfg cable from PS. I totally shut down the Ps5, unplugged the usb cable, restarted the Ps5, plugged the usb back in, then powered the controller on and it synced up at that time.
Controller works great as expected. Thank you for the reply. I was going to delete this because the issue was resolved, but your timely reply beat me to it. LOL
Thanks Again
