You don't fix it you replace it if it does not just need the controller setting adjusted under ps3 setting. If the other dual shock 3 controllers work fine it is not the settings

Will the PlayStation 3 wireless controller still work if it's not charging connected via USB cable?

The PlayStation 3 wireless controller will still work even if it isn't charging when connected via the USB cable. It will not delay the charging time at all to use the controller while it is charging using the charging cable and should be fully charged within 2 hours for the Dual Shock 3 controller. If the controller will not take charge, it will eventually stop working .


Can you trade in ps2 controllers at gamestop for money?

You can only get $16 on an amazon trade in gift card for a PS2 console and controller trade in. Just how much do you think they will give when you trade in a PS2 controller at a store. Like new used PlayStation 2 Dualshock controllers sell for $8 on amazon including S/H and used PS2 analog controllers start at $.49 new generic analog are $6 up. If you still want to sell one try Gamestop it will depend on there current inventory


If your ps3 controller isn't working wirelessly what should you do?

If your ps3 controller isn't working wirelessly, then you may have to reregister it. To do this, you have to plug it into the ps3 with the special cord. If it still doesn't work, even if it is left plugged in, then you may have something wrong with your controller and you may have to purchase a new controller. You should also check the charge on the PS3 wireless controller. if you unplug a PS3 that battery is not charged it will not work. When you turn off the PS3 if you have not set the PS3 to also turn off the controller automatically in controller setting the controller will remain on and the battery will drain. The PS3 does not charge controllers when it is off.

How many contoler comes with ps2 console?

The PS3 comes with one controller unless you buy the PS3 320 GB + Move Bundle and then you get one move controller and one dual shock 3 controller. The Sony corporation can always release a bundle and the current bundles available offer a Uncharted 3 game, but discontinued bundles for other games are still found at retail and online stores.

Can you play playstation move compatible games just normally with the ps3?

No the PS3 move games only work with the Move unless they are not designed to be only Move games as many have been. You need to look at the information on the game box and read it before you purchase the game. Some Move games are merely games that have been changed to allow the Move controller to also be used and were originally designed for the Dualshock 3 controller and they can still be used. well yes but you will need the sub analog controller it dosent work with out srry hope it helped :)


What is the best controler for computer war games?

For strategic war games, the best controller is still a mouse and keyboard. For first person shooter war games, the Microsoft Xbox controller with the PC interface available at most major electronics retailers is the most durable and comfortable choice. Millions of people already use the controller for console games, so it makes sense to use the same controller for computer war games as well.


Can the ps3 move games be played without a controller?

No Some may only be move compatible, but they still need a controller even if it is not a move controller. Kinect does not use a controller for the Xbox 360 system. Some of the games require 2 move controllers and 2 navigational controllers to play 2 person split screen.

Can a GameCube Controller be converted into a Nintendo 64 Controller?

No. But sometimes, you can still use a GameCube controller to play Nintendo 64 games. Some Nintendo 64 games have been converted to use on the GameCube, so for those games, such as the Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition, the GameCube Controller is used. On the Wii, you can download Nintendo 64 games through the Wii Shop Channel. These recommend using the Classic Controller, but the GameCube controller will work in most cases. You cannot physically convert one controller into another, either. The gamecube controller cannot be used to play N64 games.

Is PS3 better than PS3 move?

The PS3 Move are optional items for PS3 and enhance the PS3. Your question could be is the Dual Shock 3 Controller better than the PS3 Move Controller, but still would not consider than it does not matter. The only way you can play the Move exclusive games is with the Move Controller and with the Move compatible games if you are skilled with the Move Controller it does enhance the games. It is different and harder to develop skills on any new controller, but the PS3 Move Bundle is a great addition to the PS3. The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Bundle for $79.99 at amazon includes the Move Controller, Navigational Controller, Playstation Eye Camera, and LittleBigPlanet Game and adding it makes a great addition to your PS3

Do PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games work on the PlayStation 3?

It depends. the only playstation 3 that i know of that can play psOne and ps2 games is the 60gb. The 60gb playstation 3 is the playstation that has the most features. It came with 4 USB slots, 4 memory card readers (located in the black overhang that is left of the disk drive), one sixaxis controller (not dualshock.. they are not as heavy because they don't have a vibrating motor so they don't vibrate), and the ability to read playstation 2 disks. i have not tried a psOne game, but i am pretty sure that it is capable of it. my friend has an 80gb playstation 3 and his cannot play the older playstation games. if you do have a 60gb ps3, then it will not play them unless you download something from the playstation store. you have to download "ps2 system data" or something like that. i have also tried downloading the system software on my friends 80gb and it still said that the ps2 disk was an unsupported disk. so all i know is that the old 60gb does and the old 80gb doesnt.
