Ever since 3 days ago my controller will not sync with the PS3 unless I connect it with the USB cable first.

I have tried resetting the controller with the reset button in the back.

I have tried resetting my PS3 settings.

If I plug it in first and connect I can then use it wireless and it works fine, but once I turn the system off I need to do it all over again. Strange that I can use it to turn on the PS3 but without the cable I can't use it to do anything else.

 

I heard sometimes the file that stores the controller sync data can become corrupt, but how would I fix that without an update?

It is not a huge deal since I can just plug it in first, but it is kind of annoying.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
