Playstation 3 remote just stopped working

First, you need to troubleshoot if it's your system, wire, or controller.

Testing the controller:
Try plugging the wire into another port on the PS3, or into something else to charge it. Try charging it on a friend's system, with his wire, to see if it's your system. If it doesn't work, your controller or battery is bad.

Testing the battery:
Put your battery into another controller, see if it will charge on your friend's PS3 to test it. DO NOT put another battery in your controller: If the controller is shorted, it could ruin your battery!

Testing the Console:
If your controller charges on your friend's PS3 with his wire, try to use their wire on your system. If that works, it's probably your wire. If not, try other ports as I said. If none of the ports charge it (but it charges on your friend's, there's a problem with the voltage or amperage.

If it's your system: It may symbolize a short life left of your PS3, not not for sure. I would still avoid plugging anything into USB you don't want to risk getting destroyed. You can still charge your controller with certain wall chargers, but only certain ones have the circuitry for a "handshake" the PS3 needs to charge.

If it's your wire: Get one from the dollar store should work.

If it's your battery: Getting one one eBay may be cheaper than replacing your controller.

If it's your controller: I prefer wired controllers personally, anyhow... for everything but the Wii, of course. You're going to need a new one for the PS3. You may want to save your battery for a later time or need.

You need a scanner hooked up then look at the sensors in the security system, one is defective and causing this problem.

see if wire hooked up to remote to charge it has went bad jiggle it and if you see light turn on on controller your wire went bad to charge it.

if u can charge this through the ps3 try pluging it in there to register

1.Take out charging wires. 2.turn off your heli and insert charging socket into your heli's socket. 3.the charging green light will light up while charging. 4.charging complete, the green light will turn off. 5.pull out the wires and you are ready to fly. Let the heli's battery cool down for approx. 15 minutes before charging.

not sure if this will work but sometimes when you plug your playstation 3 remote into ps3 you have the press the ps3 button again so that you have connected it instead of just charging it and maybe it just needs charging becuase you havnt used it in a while or you have used it for a long time try charging it for a while and try again hope this helps =]

Have same issue. Contollers only 2 month old and stopped holding a charge. The controllers flash 'dead battery' when switched on, if I plug up the charge lead they flash to say charging, and after 10mins or so they stop flashing. But no charge in battery. both my controllers have been charged less than 10/15 times.
This fault seems to have come about after the latest system update?
I think you should contact Sony.

If I remember correctly, the PS3 has 2 USB slots where you normally plug your controllers in to charge. Where that wire is connected to the PS3, if you disconnect the wires for charging. There should now be a place for you to plug in your microphone.

battery lleackeage?

The best thing is call Sony Technical support and explain to them and the ywill be very pleased to help you.
