Forums - Sony Discussion - SixAxis controller won't turn on

Has anyone else encountered a sixaxis that won't turn on, won't charge at all and basically looks broken?  I'm planning on trading it in for a new one but I just wanted to check here before I did in case the solution is simple.

can't help you if you don't respond to questions.



sorry wasn't at home. Doesn't light up at all even when I plug it in. I figure its dead, but thought i'd ask in case there was some forum voodoo available to save me the hassle of dealing with walmart.

Perfect time to get a dual shock 3.



I think they have a lifetime warranty, so you might be able to contact Sony and get it replaced.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
