Hmm.. sounds odd. Maybe it needs to be charged, if you have tried to do that and have not been successful through the PS3 usb port, try and charge your PS3 controller through a computers usb port?!
leave the PS3 turned on and change the settings to turn off the controller when the PS3 is turned off. You can turn the controller and the PS3 back on by pressing the PS3 emblem on the controller
If you are referring to the Playstation 3, Hold the PS button down on your controller and release it, then select "Turn off your Controller"
Just buy the amazon PS3 dual shock 3 for $40 in an assortment of colors. A wired controller is not even original equipment for a PS3 and is just some cut rate off brand controller that you want to try to adapt to an old PS2 controller.
Replace the filter, then turn off the light.
Yes when your controller needs to be charged you can use the charging cable and still use the controller to play the game. Always make sure your system settings automatically turn off your controller when you turn off the PS3. Remember the PS3 will not charge the controller when it is off.
They turn off automatically after some time of inactivity. Wave the controller to wake it up again (the red light will flash).
Hold the Playstation emblem and the PS3 screen will show choices chose turn off the controller and then yes. It may take you a few turns to learn how to move things on the screen using the move controller to actually learn how to move it to the turn off the controller and then to yes from no and then how to click it on the yes ( with the x button)
Starting up the PS3 with the controller instead of the button usually results in the controller being P2 (Player 2). Simply hold down the PS Button until the 2 options come up, Turn off System, Turn off Controller. Turn off the controller and turn it back on. You are now P1 (Player 1).
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.
your ps3 controller or the system is jacked up or somethin
You will have to turn off your vibration on the controller in the game options. You cannot turn it off in any system settings.
I think its broken
