aHaZaRd2UrHeAlTh Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Could someone please tell me what in the world is wrong with the ps3 controller when all 4 red lights on top are blinking at once? I doubt it would be low battery, because even with it being plugged in, its still blinking and you are unable to move anything on the screen, as in the controller died or something. What can I do about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would be low battery, because even with it being plugged in, its still blinking and you are unable to move anything on the screen, as in the controller died or something. What can I do about this? Thats your controll pad trying to sync with the PS3. Sometimes, the pad can have an internal brain-fart and not be able to connect properly. On the back of the control pad is a tiny button. You'll need a pin or something to press it. Pressing it will do a hard reset on the controler. Then, just connect it via USB and give the PS button a press. If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware fault that would require taking it apart to fix, but it hopefully won't be.

addmanrcace Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That is really good to know, Labreya. I will use that because me and my brother share controllers... therefore we have tons of connection problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take no credit for the knowledge of the button! i only know because it was posted in another thread. After I read it I was like "There's no button back thOMGABUTTON!!!"

Chapel Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The reason this happened was because the PS3 controllers are bluetooth and can only be synced to one device at a time. If you use them on another system, you will need to sync them to your original system again to make them work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
