Same issue, controller starts blinking 4lights & system sometimes freezes inbetween playing game.
Thankyou for the video, I need to get an official appropriate cable now😁
Glad it helped, hope the cable sorts this for you. Check batteries if you are dropping connection mid game too.
Yo did the cable work you
Thanks man, found another random cable and it worked.
Glad it helped.
My problem is my controller syncs but the moment i remove the cable the remote flash 4 lights and arent conected but it has power without the cable solution?
I had the same issue... Plugged it in while booting and work out fine... Thank u sir well done
Glad you got it sorted. 👍
what is booting?Loading?
This seems to have also carried over to PS4 controllers, had that issue over the last year or so and that was the cable also.
Didn't know that, what a nightmare. You think they'd make it as easy as possible to connect.
Just received a ps3 system in the mail and am having the same exact problem this video showed...just ordered the Ian cable you recommended so fingers crossed let’s hope that’s really what’s wrong with it
Good luck thanks for commenting.
Yo did the cable work for you? I am also having this issue
@@wyatt5984 no unfortunately it did not
this is very helpful actually. thank you!
Glad it helped. Nice simple fix.

Thanks for the tips bro, I changed my charger an it worked

Thank you for this! I was honestly at such a loss with where to go next! A decent cable is in my shopping cart! 👏
Glad it helped. 👍

I thank you very much for what you did I wish from God a happy life thank you I needed a USB cable when I bought it I worked as a control hand You're a hero, boy. ❤️❤️❤️
Сработала < translation
Я очень благодарен тебе за то, что ты сделал. Желаю от Бога счастливой жизни. Спасибо. Когда я купил его, мне понадобился USB-кабель. Я работал диспетчером. Ты герой, мальчик. ❤️❤️❤️

Solved with a reset. Never knew there was a reset button 😉😂.
Thanks
Glad you got it working. Thanks for watching.
brilliant thanks for this
Hi, my controller powers on the system but does not move across the menu if I press any of the arrows or the analog sticks. At some point it gets assigned a number and other times it flashes. Not sure why it has control over power on the system by pressing the PS button. Any suggestions?
Nice Video dude, nice purchase, with this model (fat ps3) you can easy jailbreak on any version
Cool thanks for the heads up. Want to do some of the retro pickup consoles first but will come back to this soon.
Thank you so much!! I have unfortunately ordered another controller already but there isn't anything wrong with a backup!
Yeah always good to have a spare. 👍
That was a rollercoaster. 🤩 Glad it's working.
Yeah me too. Time to find a time crisis gun.
And it's a dual shock control! Originally when they released the PS3, the controls had no vibration, so they didn't have dual shock 3 on it! I recommend modding it (use Mr Mario) for dynamic fan temperature, and then you can run PS2 games too! :)
Modding this is on the back burner until I take a look through those other consoles, just glad it worked and connected to the pads in the end!
@@GoodwinsPlace it's just software and a usb you need to mod it, don't gotta buy anything :p interested to see the original Xbox fix
Mine won't even blink when connecting it usb via PS3 system. I believe thay it could be a discontinuity issue or a short circuit?
Thank you took me 3 hours of research then found this god sent
Glad it helped. 👍
Yo did the cable work you
thanks the chord trick worked
Glad it worked. 👍
Will try to purchase specific ps3 cable and will comment if we have the same issue in synching
Good luck. Interested to know if it works for you.
I know this was over 2 years ago now but thank you so much! I was losing my shit wondering why my new controller I just bought won't connect to my ps3 and it was cause I had a shitty cord trying to connect it.
Glad it helped, great to know this video is still helping people. Thanks for commenting. 😁👍
Hey bro i have problem in my ps3 controller. My controller wouldn't charge or connect just like yours but i have a another controller which is working when i connect to the same cable i used for the 1st controller but this one the buttons dosen't work.
If u have a solution pls reply
Hey Goodwins Place I got a 3rd party PS3 controller im Jw how do I disconnect my 3rd party PS3 controller from my PS3 system..? And is it possible to pair a 3rd party PS3 controller to a firestick lite
Had same problem and tested 2 usb mini cables but i know why some mini-usb cables work and why others dont :) i had 2 cheap usb-mini and its missing the pins what also required to go to ds3. If you look closely. So now i need go find quality usb-mini whit pins finaly get ds3 work on ps3 again. Thanks for the video!
No worries, glad it helped.

@@user-nh3hf1ql8x yes when you get the correct cable

Glad it's helped. Thanks for watching.
Thanks bro you're awesome
Glad it helped. Lots of people still having the same issue.
Both my pads fully charged but won't operate unless connected with leads. Both working fine a week ago. ?
Have you tried disconnecting one and reconnecting it? Does the pad doe as soon as you unplug or does it remain on with battery life?
This is my exact thing and they keep on living
Reset button does nothing. Turns off then I’ll turn back on but when I take out usb it turn off. I’m using the super slim ps3. Tried multiple controllers. It charges and works when plugged in but can’t sync it.
Have you found a solution?

I just did it and it works connect the controller with USB don’t switch it on click reset after that keep it plugged and press ps button until it flashes on a number then it will be synced
I have the ps3 phat with 4 usb port the 1st port is busted could I in theory use the other 3 because they won't work. Thanks
Yes think you can use any, they aren't assigned to specific tasks as far as I know.
Mine works with cable, but the PS3 is unable to find any bluetooth devices and/or connect to them. The wifi works okay. Any suggestions?
Mine doesnt work i have 6 controllers some of them arent connecting even tho i reseted it and some just randomly moving even if ur not touching it | pls help me
Look at PS3 controller drift. I don't have a video but can be fixed.
thanks mate
Hope the video helped. 👍
As others have said same issue with controller blinking 4 lights but not syncing
I hope a ne cable will be the answer
We’ll be back to let you know know
Thanks so much
Good luck. Hopefully new cable will sort it.

Thanks man..
Hope it helped. 👍
Thank you worked .....👍

I have the same exact issue and try to reset it and everything that there's but after seeing this I'm definitely getting a new cord. THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFO. CHEERS
Hope it works for you. 👍
Yo did the cable work you
my controller syncs up fine when connected with cable, but when cable is disconnected there is no sync only flashing.. any ideas?
Have you tried other controllers? My be the controller rather than the console.
Bro, I have a bigben blue led dualshock can you help?
me too, does it work for big ben wired controller is what i'm searching for the whole time? everyone commenting about sony controller .. i play with a controller ps4 on my ps3
i have 2 controllers that dont work without the cable and they turn off randomly. what can i do ¿?
I'd check the batteries to make sure they are holding charge.
Found a PS3 I'm my new home. Bought a new controller and charging cable, it won't even light up indicating it's charging. Any clue what my problem is?
Try plugging the controller usb in to a phone charger plug. See if it will charge over night.
Mi PS3 super slim was acting as if it has a broken WiFi module which was not the case because when i've upgraded (via pendrive) the system software to 4.89 voila! wireless internet conection was back... but and that's a big but... my perfectly functional and fully charged original controllers are not syncing (i'm using orignal USB cable)... any suggestions? i've already tried reseting the controllers with a clip.
Did you manage to sort this? Are other controllers syncing? And just the original ones not? It's unlikely that two pads have the same fault so close together.
I'd keep trying different cables just to be sure, but if they are working wired then it's likely not that.
@@GoodwinsPlace Bluetooth syncing is completely gone... and they are working wired
@@fex1984 Yo did the cable work you
I can imagine perhaps that the USB connector on the pad is dirty or not making contact very well. The cable might also have a break in it of course. It's always hard to spot the actual fault.
The PS3 is a great system with loads of games for it. Right now is a good time to build a PS3 collection. The games are really cheap.
It was the quality of the cable. I tried two pads, one being my brother's that he uses all the time. As soon as I switched to a quality cable both connected no problem.
Yeah loads of good games, not picked up many as yet.
It was the cable, thanks.
Awesome glad you got it working. 👍
Hi my ps3 is doing exactly the same , but .. works while connected to the cable and as soon as I take the cable off it just flashes. I have tried the reset button and even bourght a new controller but still have the same problem . Can you help
Think it's the WiFi/Bluetooth module, getting a lot of comments like this. I don't have a broken one to repair to do a video on.
Mine has the same issue. It started two days ago 😢
Have u fixed yours??
Great vid.
Now I have a different but similar problem.
As of 10 hours ago my ps3 super slim does not recognize my 3 different controllers. Even after connecting them with the ps3 through the cable.
When connected with the cable everything works just dandy. But when u plugged they are not recognized.
I am now doing the reformatting for approx the 4 hours.
But if that does not help how do I get them back up and running?
Start gathering all the cables you can. It's surprising how many won't work. I had to flash the firmware on some mini arcade games the other day and it took me 6 cables before I found one with data lines that worked.
Hi my problem is my middle button not working and turn off the PS3 and my controllers are still on even when the system is off and 5 seconds later it turns back on what to do thank you.
Might need to clean out those pads to get those buttons working again as sounds like they are stuck on and not going to let your system turn off unless you unplug it.
I have an original controller and 2 Class A controllers. The problem I have is it wont connect wireless. But when it is connected (wired) it is working. I have tried resetting controllers multiple times. I have tried everything i saw on youtube. I dont have any other ps3 to test out but im thinking it has to do with the console. What can you suggest I do to fix my problem?
Has the console been opened before? Wondering if it is a connector issue for the wireless antenna.
@@GoodwinsPlace it was working before. I bought it from a seller. Im not so sure on being opened but it has been jailbroken . I dont mind playing it wired. but when i do put my external thats when i have problem cause i cant play 2 players. But im waiting on my online purchase of dual female usb port so that i can plugged 2 controllers and my 1tb external. hope that works.
@@spidercarl-1695 a jailbreak wouldn't normally have an issue with control pads, was going to suggest a master reset but you probably don't want to do that if you have it setup custom.
See if you can get the controls to connect to another PS3 in the future, would be good to know if it is the controller or the console.
@@GoodwinsPlace I have done master reset before when i transfered playing from TV to monitor. Now that you mentioned it that might have caused it in the first place. well if you think that would help Id like to try that one. Thanks! ill update you if it works.
@@spidercarl-1695 worth a shot, let me know how you get on.
I've had the same problem with both of my controllers. The controllers keep on blinking only when I connect them to the system and even then the PS button or any other buttons don't work. I've tried replacing the battery but they still have the same problem. I've also tried resetting my controllers and cleaning them from inside. I've bought the cable today and I hope my problem gets resolved via the cable. Wish me luck and do you have any solutions other than this?
Hopefully the cable should do the trick. Sounds like you've been through most of the other checks.
If it isn't the cable then I'd try another controller and last resort it could be the connector.
@@GoodwinsPlace thank you, this will be my last shot I guess since I don't have a friend who has another controller. I also don't want to spend any more money on the PS3, especially with the PS5 & Christmas coming this winter.
@@GoodwinsPlace If the connector is at fault, would I be able to fix it at home and how?
Hopefully it will sort it. Still loads of cool stuff to do with the PS3 if you look at modding it.
It would likely need a new port soldering on. Depends on your skills and kit. But I think that is a last option.
I kept resetting every controller on my nephews PS3 and the controller won't sync up or let him play wirelessly and I tested them on my PS3 and they worked so does that mean I need a new console for my nephew?
Sorry for the delay. If they work on your console and you are using same controllers and usb cable then it could either be a USB connector issue on that console or an issue with the wireless module but that would normally allow you to connect via cable.
I just bought a controller from eb games and they both don't work with any of the things
My 3 controler only blinking
When I reset it ots always blinking help me
Have you tried what's in the video? Different USB cables and charging the controller?
I change battery other controller and cant connect reset wont help using ps3 super slim . Not turn on with cable but with cable blinking four light without connection i need solve this its not first time i try .
Have to test that cable thing weird othervise any cable work. Where is my orginal hmm .
I can't believe this. The 360 controllers just work out of the box. This is a nightmare
Yep 360 uses the same approach as other modern consoles like Switch to detect and pair.
Not sure what to do with my 2 ps3 controllers they turn on and work with the wire. The lights flash then i press the ps button and the light goes to player 1 to say its connected. But soon as i remove the wire controllers just disconnect 🤔
Could be a faulty WiFi / Bluetooth unit.
Best thing to do is try those controllers on another PS3 to be sure it's not them.
Nice thankyou
Cool channel you got here by the way 🙂👌
@@mikekay4674 thank you. 👍
My second pad isn’t allowing me control it
It’s working by itself when I’m playing a football game
Check the thumbsticks and clean up the pad.
Crazy ypu had so many cables that didn't work i use a generic usb for my ps3 and all is fine strange to say the least
You must be lucky with that one cable. Still get it now if I'm not using the right cable it doesn't see the pad to connect.
My pads are fully charged but the light just keeps blinking when disconnected from the USB cable. When I put it on with USB cable it connects. It’s like the ps3 can’t connect through Bluetooth. Another thing, I used a PS4 controller before as well and it us3d to work through Bluetooth. And now, the Bluetooth won’t connect to it. So I think it’s the Bluetooth issue.
Edit: it’s definitely a wi-fi/bluetooth problem. It’s weird because it was working a few days ago up until now. All of a sudden my controller isn’t connecting unless it’s connected through a USB Cable. So now, I tested my wi-fi connection and it keeps failing. Which is weird. So I believe it’s affecting the Bluetooth as well trying to connect through sync.
Thanks for the post. I've heard a few people have this issue now. I've not had it so unable to make a video on it, but will do in the future if I come across one.
I bought playstation 3 controller but I can't use it wireless. If I pull out the usb connector, the playstation 3 controller shuts down. When I check the battery status, the charging doesn't look stable.
Sounds like the battery isn't getting or holding a charge. I imagine this is more the age of the battery rather than the cable.
Did you find out the answer Agya?
I’m having a problem close to this, only my controllers won’t stay synced after being unplugged from the USB.
I've seen a couple of comments with this problem. It could be a faulty connection between the console and the controller. I'd try different control pads and see if they connect, or your pads on another console if possible.
Could still be the controller battery not holding enough charge.
@@GoodwinsPlace that’s what I don’t get it works just fine when the USB is plugged in but as soon as I take it out, only thing I can guess is either the USBs are no good that I have or there is a bad connection on the inside maybe. Thanks though, so far it’s looking like I’ll have to get it repaired. 🤦♂️
@@GoodwinsPlace I did also just replace the thermal paste but if I would’ve touched and shorted out the controller port the whole console wouldn’t work I imagine?
Check the connection on the WiFi / Bluetooth module.
@@GoodwinsPlace thanks, will do and appreciate you reaching out.
is there another way or is it the only way to solve it
It is normally the cable missing some of the connections inside, so not any other options I can think of and it's a cheap easy fix. Try all the cables you can find first of all.
@@GoodwinsPlace so must have to use the official ps3 charger?
Mine isn't connecting wirelessly and I doubt its the battery because its both of my controllers having the issue
Same here
Hatte ein zweites kabel mit dem es dann geklappt hat liegt woll echt am Kabel
Thanks for the comment. Sorry my Google Translate isn't clear. The second cable has more of the cables connected internally whereas the basic just has charge and basic data transfer.
ive a problem where the controllers works with the charging cable but when i remove the cable the controller doesnt sync with the system
Is the controller still powered up when you disconnect?
And have you reset the control pad?
@@GoodwinsPlace yeah I've done everything
No It doesnt stay powered on
@@virajshah4387 could be a battery issue.
@@GoodwinsPlace ok should I try using another wire for the controller?
Where can I get a vable
Link is in the description of the video. 👍
When i plug my ps3 controller even if i didn't turn it on the 1 red flash will start blinking but the controller won't work and when i remove the cable the controller won't turn on
Sounds like a battery charging issue
@@GoodwinsPlace how could i fix it
Try another pad or this on another console first. If it's still not working you can get a new battery on eBay.
Doesn't work my controller still wont connect wireless no matter what usb cable i used even if its charged
Do you have any connected? I've seen a few with a faulty Wireless unit that connects the controller.
If the unit is working, your controller is working and your cable is a fully connected this will work. But each system will have different issues.
@@GoodwinsPlace It only works when it's plugged in together to the ps3 but once its unplug from the usb even if its fully charged it automatically turns off and will not turn back on. I wanna play it wireless not wired together.
Mine works wired but not wireless
I’m having an interesting problem with mine at the moment. My controller connects when it is plugged into the console, but once unplugged it doesn’t.
Mine looked like yours did, when it was connected the player 1 light flashes and I can select things on the menu, but it doesn’t work wirelessly, does yours work wirelessly after all that?
Mine is working fine. Could be the battery in your controller or possibly the transmitter in the PlayStation, do other controllers work?
@@GoodwinsPlace my other controller works with it just fine. I have been testing a bunch of things and would agree that it’s likely the battery.
Though I have to admit, I don’t exactly know how to go about replacing it.
Same problem here
My controllers can turn on a ps3 wirelessly but after that it just cant connect through wireless, I tried using a different ps3 cable just like the vid but its still the same. Currently stuck using cable :((
@@fatkid6389 you got more progress then what I can do, my controller won’t turn on the ps3 wirelessly. Seems like yours has paired in some way for it to do that.
Bro, I have an blue led controller but it still doesn't work. Can you help please?
Solid blue light but no interaction might suggest controller fault. Can you try on someone else's system?
Hi pls help me my controller is not working when i on the ps3 it says to press on the ps button but when i do it doesn't work it use to blink several time pls help me my Friend and also before it use to work but i had use the ps3 after a long time and this is the issue pls help me
Sounds like a battery issue. Needs charging or swapping out then try again.
What should I do my friend ?
You need to charge your control pad with a usb cable. Or buy a replacement battery if it doesn't hold charge.
Can you borrow a working control pad off someone to test?
What’s a control pad
Cause I bought it 2nd hand
when i conected tow controler
the second controler dosnt work insaid any game
but in menu it work
why??
plz anser
Does that controller work as 1 player on its own?
Same issue here. Still struggling.
Yo did the cable work you
When I turn on my ps3 slim it says connect controller useing a usb cable then press ps button an I get nothing it won't cut off I have to unplug it an turn it back on an same shit

Yo did the cable work for you
Yo did the cable work you
So i have to buy new USB cable right??
Yeah some USB cables don't have all the data connections. Go for one that is designed for PS3 if you can.
Mine is not working
Have you tried different cables? Might be and if possible other control pads with those cables to double check it's not a faulty pad
i have the same problem
Try the different cable or should help 👍
Not working
Do other pads connect? Or this pad connect on another console? Does it work on the cable before disconnecting?
If it's not the cable then it could be the antenna or signal.
I TRIED SIX CABLES MATE WTF
It needs to be a cable with all connections. I have loads of older budget cables that mainly connect the charging and basic data lines.
Lol it worked now wtf weird
@@ClintyFN haha. Good stuff, glad it's working.
@@GoodwinsPlace thx

Agree two words. But for search it was giving best results one word. In the description I have it as control pad or controller.
