My ps3 controller keeps moving down with out me pressing anything

I'm 13 and i enjoy playing games like call of duty 4 and 5. It is very hard to play when your player keeps backing up without you pressing anything. i have tried everything i could think of. I also reseted my controller it did nothing. I'd rather not buy a new controller. Please help me fix this.

I’m sorry to say that you might need a new controller, unless you want to risk destroying it by opening it like some videos on YouTube recommend. Also, try contacting Sony for a replacement controller.

You probably need a new controller. I've had the same issue with a few of my xbox controllers, but I'm sorry to tell you that you can't really fix it without potentially destroying it entirely.

SOURCE: My ps3 controller just keeps scrolling down

The buttons are sticking inside the controller. The only thing that will fix this problem is a good cleaning with isotopic alcohol and a Q-tip.

SOURCE: My ps3 controller can't turn

Have you tried hitting the reset button on the controller? While it's plugged in via USB, get something small and hit the reset button on the back. (Right next to the front and center screw)

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. Heres how you can connect your controller to your PS3.

1. Press the tiny Reset Button on the back of the controller

2. Plug in the USB Connection wire

3. Restart Console

4. When loaded, Press the PS Button

5. Disconnect the USB wire

Then it should have recognised the controller and auto-assigned, hope this works for you


Rate me if it works so that i can help other people like you!

Thanks for using Fixya

Trying to play Call of Duty 1 playstion2 on PS3

Some games will do this if you are holding the control-stick any direction while starting the system.

Next time you play it, try holding the stick just slightly in the opposite direction to compensate as you start the system, or unplug the controller-hold the stick down, then plug back in ( while playing )

If that doesn't work, it might be time for a new controller. Or you could open it ( disconnect first ) and check around the stick for anything that might be pushing it up.

Problems with call of duty 4 and call of duty world at war

i guess it's a problem with your Hard Disk . please try the following :
  • re-updating your system by an USB device (download the update from sony ps3 website)
  • reinstalling all game data files
  • restoring your system (don't forget to backup all your important files such as game saves !!)

Only one controller can work at a time

You will need to pair the second controller. To do this power on your ps3 as normal with the controller that works, then plug in your second controller via usb and press the "PS" button. The red LED's should flash and then the second led should stay on.

You should be able to play normally.
