My PS4, randomly, will not turn on when I hit the PS button on the controller; the controller also doesn't turn on when the system is turned on manually.  I have two controllers that this happens with, so either I have had terrible shitty luck with controllers or they can safely be ruled out.  This happens when the controller is connected via USB or when it is wireless.  Usually putting the console in stand-by mode will allow me to, after a minute, turn the console on via the controller again.  At this point both controllers will connect and work just fine.

Anyone else ever run into this?  Was there something you were able to do to fix it that did not involve a conversation with Sony support?
