First you could try turning off the console then turning it back on. Secondly push the reset button on the back of the controller, you should be able to press it with toothpick or something like that. Also you could try re-syncing the controller may help. If none of that works the battery could simply but dead. If all fails it could be a system problem, and I'd just suggest keeping your eye out for any system updates. Hope you get it fixed.
Not a Dual Shock 3 PS3 controller
Get the PS3 controller and connect it to the other PS3 using the USB recharger. Turn the controller on and after about 10 seconds you can take it out, turn on the controller, and use it wirelessly. All of this is done while the PS3 is turned on.
PS2 do not play PS3 games and if your PS2 controller is being used on a PS3 then you are not using normal PS3 equipment. Sony support and my sources do not have information on using some unknown controller that might be able to work on a PS3 read your manual that came with the controller. Better yet buy the better Dual Shock 3 PS3 controller
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.
To reset a PS3 controller to a different PS3 connect the controller to the PS3 you want to connect it to with a charge cable. Press the PS button and wait for it to connect to the new console. After it connects your controller will now work with the new PS3.
Try using the connection cable that came with the PS3 and then press the Playstation emblem on the controller

If your PlayStation 3 controller ceases to function, first check the LED indicator lights on the front of the controller to ensure that it is still connected to the system. If the lights are off, first attempt to connect the controller to the PlayStation 3 or a power source with the USB cable. Press the PS button and the controller will reconnect with the system. If all four lights on the controller are flashing simultaneously, the controller is functioning, but cannot connect to the system. In this scenario, move the controller closer to the PlayStation and wait for the connection to complete. When connecting the controller to the PS3 via USB or Bluetooth fail to suffice, contact Sony eSupport for assistance.
The Previous answer was incorrect. The gamestop ps3 controller should have come with a usb reciever for the wireless controller to connect to our ps3. When you plug it in it will start flashing a red light. just hit the "HOME" button on your controller and it will connect to the PS3 via that wireless usb connector.
