Plug the charging cable in and hit the PS3 logo that should work even if your battery is bad. You know most use the term controller and not remote when talking about a Dual Shock 3 controller. If you have some other brand or type of controller say so when you ask again

How to repair a dead ps3 controller..I used my controller turned it of the next day tried to turn it back on and it wont work.got a new battery and it still does not work?

The PS3 will not charge a controller while it is off. The controller will not turn off when you turn off the PS3 unless you change the PS3 settings. This can cause the controller to always have a dead battery each time you go to use it. Go to PS3 settings for the controller and click yes for auto turn off when PS3 is turned off. This may not be your problem and you can tell because the PS3 controller should work with a dead battery if it is plugged into the charging cable and the PS3 is turned on.

Even if the battery is low connecting the USB controller cable should allow the controller to connect when you press the PS3 emblem on the controller. Without another controller you can not tell if the PS3 or controller is the problem and does not work
