Years later and still useful content. Thank you for taking time to add a few facts along the way such as the blinking lights, how you know it's charged etc. Thank you sir.
Thank you fir your video. It helped my son out a lot. He gets confused but always uses RUclips torturiols videos to help him get out of tight spot. Thank you again.
You have helped a number of people with this video. I am borrowing my cousins ps3 and I was hoping there was a way to sync my controller without the cord, but your video has corrected me. Thank you sir.
@NeoV2 my friend bought me the controller they used in this video from Amazon and it came with cables, so if you want a cheap alternative I would recommend those 👍🏻
1:20 when I press that button it blinks like crazy like it is unplugged. [Edit: I'm buying new cables and reformatting the console. I will let you know if this works] the co sole is refurbished and the controller is brand new. I found a corrupted file on the PS3, but I dont think that's the problem
I have the original and it’s not turning on without the cable and I can’t use that with the cable connected to the ps3 and it show me that on 1:14 and I don’t know what I do
when i unplug the usb cord from my ps3 controller the lights just go out and when i press the playstation button in the middle there are no blinking or solid lights on the controller
Thank you this fix worked perfect after my controller was dropped and would start messing up after about 5 mins of play. To everyone asking about the four blinking lights when you unplug the USB cord. All you have to do is unplug it and hit the little reset button on the back of your controller then hold the PS3 button down and your controller works wirelessly again!
bro when im trying to do this with my new controller it doesnt works.I conected the controller but when i press the p3 button the 4 red numbers doesent stop to light only the red no 1
Hi there, i assume you mean you are trying to sync the controller by connecting it with your USB cable. Try shutting down your ps3 console, and then try the steps again. If it still doesn't work, it is likely that either your cable is faulty, the controller is faulty or the USB port is faulty. Try connecting to the other USB port. You can also test if this controller is faulty by trying to sync with a controller u know that works. Then change the cable if it doesn't. Hope this helps! :)
Not that I know of. Look around your house and see if you have a usb cable, one side of it is the normal usb head and the other is a mini-usb head. That'll work. Otherwise, you can buy a new cable from Amazon or your local IT store.
As soon as I take out the PS cord all red lights turn off str8 away. Can't turn on controller without wire an should be full bat by now but still flashing when cords in. Thanks
Hi, try pressing the PS button when the PS cord is attached to your controller and the PS3 console. When the lights stop blinking, pull out the cord. If the 4 lights blink continuously, it is usually an indication that the wireless feature is unable to connect with your console. In that case, you can only play with your cord attached. You may want to go back to the vendor to check it out.
Nope. Just any cable with a USB connection on one end and a mini-USB connection on the other end. www.amazon.com/AC01-Charge-Cable-Controller-Black/dp/B0032GVCBA
When u sync ur ps4 controller on the ps3 does it work for all games,i sync it and try playing terminator salvation but only some buttons work and the othes didnt,i wasnt able to shoot just walk run
I bought 2 older ps3 controllers. official Sony. both of them are having the flashing problem. I get it to sync. but when i turn it off I have to resync it again. and I won't let me sync both at the same time. it's like the ps3 doesn't remember them
I picked up a DreamGEAR Phenom PS3 controller in the box but realized later it doesn't have the USB dongle with it. Can this still be used using the USB charging cable that it came with? Can I get a different dongle? Or do I just trash this?
i have the same controller but when i press a button for a second, it is pressed as if its held for like 2 or 3 seconds.. for eg, when i play fifa, i press a shoot button for a second and it shoots it way too far because it drags it for longer.. help me if you can.. thank you great video
Does that occur when you connect your controller to your PS3 with a usb cable? Try playing with your controller with the cable. If it works well when connected via a cable, then it is likely that you have problems with your wireless connection. Try to resync it, if it does not solve the issue, then you have to report this to the vendor to get it fixed, if it's still under warranty.
i been had my black controller it was synced into my ps3 before but when i wasn't it for awhile it won't sync in again even when it just shows the blinking red light's
Hey bro. Just bought a new controller and when I connect it to the ps3 nothing happens. Would it be a bad USB cable or would the ports on the ps3 itself be bad.
@ABONE1 First, connect it and then wait for a while (~10 seconds) to see if the blinking lights comes on. If it doesn't, try to charge with another controller that is known to work using the same cable and port. If it works, then you new controller may be faulty. If it's not working, it's likely that the cable or the port. Try charging with another cable and different ports. Hope this helps!
+baypio I have the same issue as before. my ps3 is the original 8 pound one. one usb is broken but I know the other works. when I plug it in the charging lights come on for about 4 seconds and goes off without anything. when I press the middle button it doesn't do anything. but I know it's charged enough to work.

Ya
Do you have to charge the controller fully if it is new? When I unplug the controller, it just turns off.
Same for me
Do make sure that the controller is charged. Otherwise, it'll just turn off because there's no charge left in the battery.
+Pika Chiu (formerly baypio) how do i get the motion control stuff to work
same!
The Tonberry's Lair you hold the Centre button and then select settings
1:20 when I press that button it blinks like crazy like it is unplugged.
[Edit: I'm buying new cables and reformatting the console. I will let you know if this works] the co sole is refurbished and the controller is brand new. I found a corrupted file on the PS3, but I dont think that's the problem
Did it work?

That means your battery is low or out if you hold your usb cable a little bit longer in ur ‘new’ controller it will charge the battery
Thank you so much man. I really needed this video.

why buy an expensive controller when you can get the same thing for less????
Sabrea Dillard no its way diifferent sometimes the analog sticks get stuck and the buttons get stuck to after 3 months
its called cleaning it.
@@BoojeeUniversity Because the joysticks on fake one are useless. And they sometimes just glitch and stop working, you can,t even turn it off.

No, as far as I know, you cannot sync without a cable. Time to get a new cable! :)
Does it work for Third Party Controllers? Because my controller is a Power A with a USB Charger and a little stick you use for connection!

so if all the 4 lights are blinking then does it mean that the controller is charging pls reply
