darkrchaos Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) I have tried everything but it won't work. It won't connect, it won't even turn on my ps3 if it connected by the wire. I tried: - Resetting the PS3 - Resetting the Controller - Tried other Controllers I don't know what else to do Edited July 2, 2010 by darkrchaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjc0961 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The first thing I would do is try a different USB cable as well... The problem could be that your cable is broken, which would prevent the controller from being paired. If you know your cable is okay, try these articles from the actual Playstation Knowledge base which can help you find more help if it doesn't work, instead of some random ass website that leaves you up shit creek without a paddle.

Cruore Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Does your controller actually turn on? I'll give you three likely fixes: 1. (Your controller is turning on, but it's only blinking, searching for the console. Nothing happens.) Plug a USB- cable into the PS3, and connect the controller. Turn the controller on, and verify that it's working. Now turn your system off, unplug the controller, and try again. 2 (Your controller is not turning on at all.) It's been wiped of power. Take it to your computer/laptop, and plug it in using the USB- cable. Turn on the controller. Let it charge for a bit. Now unplug it, and try again. 3. (Your controller is not responding to any of these, or other fixes.) [Trade it in where you bought it, and ask for a new one/refund.[/i] Edited July 2, 2010 by Cruore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more easy than all of that LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
