Wont Synch I am stuck on the connect the controller using a usb cable and then press the ps button screen and I connected the ap.2 controller and it starts flashing like its charging

This screen is the reset/recovery screen, you can make this occur manually, with the system in standby hold down the power button until you hear 2 beeps.

If you connect a controller using the USB cable can you continue? when you connect a controller and press the PS button it should take you to this screen?

1 Hold your controller like you normally would when playing a game, and then flip it over. 2 Use a paperclip to hit the Reset button on the back of your controller. The button is located to the right of the screw found above the sticker on the back of the controller. 3 Connect your controller to your PlayStation 3 using the USB cable. 4 Press the PS button on the front of the controller. The system will boot up, and your controller is now reset and synced with your PlayStation 3. Tips & Warnings: If you use the same controller for multiple PS3 systems, you should do this whenever you notice problems with your controller, since it could resolve the issue. Don't press the reset button on the back of the controller too hard. Otherwise you risk damaging your controller.

if you have tried to connect the controller using the usb and that didn't fix it try to rest your controller and reprogram it for your system make sure it is fully charged

First of all dont panic!

it happens to everyone, we have 3 playstation 3's in our house.
basically all it has done is either run out of charge.
or has lost sync with your console.
all you need to do is connect it with the supplied cable and press the ps button.
all 4 lights will flash momenterally and it will re-synch or start charging.

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

Sounds like the controller knows it belongs to the other PS3. It has already "paired" with one console, so that's why you're having a hard time trying to get it to pair with console #2, comprende?
Make sure console #1 is a "hard off", like switched in the back. Now flip your controller over & put a pencil or pen tip in the reset hole. ( Just to the right of the center screw hole.) NOW connect said controller with the USB to console #2. Hold the PS button for two seconds. All 4 lights will flash 5 times, then the 1 light should stay on, Boo-ya! You're PAIRED!

-Press the tiny reset button on the back of the controller
-Plug in the USB Connection wire
-Restart Console
-When loaded, Press the PS Button

Hope it works mate :)

make sure your controller turned on

Try resetting your Controller. Using a paper clip, there is a small reset button on the underside of the SIXAXIS. Press it.

While your PS3 is still on, press the PS button on the controller.
