Forums - Sony - Help needed! Weird controller problem

JOKA_ on 17 January 2008

I have two controllers for my PS3 and one of them has a very low charge so i hooked it up to the PS3 with the USB cord, but the controller won't charge!  I hooked up the other controller to see if it was the cord but the other controller charged fine.  I tried all 4 USB slots on the PS3 but i still have the same problem! 

Any ideas?  Gotta run to class I'll check back soon though.

Have you tried talking to it? Sometimes sitting down and simply having a heart to heart talk can help you get connected again, and go a long way towards putting that charge back in your relationship.

Yeah, sorry, I got nuthin.

Could be a defective battery. Get it replaced via warranty. Check sony's site for solutions.

@Super
Yea I'll check the site, but after I thought about it this gives me an excuse to buy a DualShock 3

Plug it into your computer and see if it works there. If it doesn't... get it replaced

I tried plugging it into my computer and it also didn't work.

On another note, I tried resetting the controller by pushing that little button with a paper clip, but the controller refuses to de-sync (is that a word?) with my PS3.

I think my SIXAXIS is possesed

if you plugged it into your computer and nothing happens, then the battery might be bad. Usually, it should start to charge when you plug it into your computer.
