I'm having the same problem... Only when I click my PS button, it flashes, normally. Then again, it's faint, and very, very fast, machine-gun-like flashing. And it's really annoying. Who knows how to fix this problem? I've tried resetting, there's no way to connect the controller with the console it's self, I've tried using the wire to connect it... No luck, nothing's happening. Please help?

SOURCE: PS3 controller Problem

I just fixed mine. The controller itself needs to be reset. There is a reset button on the back of the controller, above the top right hand corner of the square with all on the information and barcode. Press it with a sharp tipped object while still connected to the PS3 via USB cable. Then press the PS button and you should be back on wirelessly.

SOURCE: PS3 USB ports won't work

Yes I have, a known good one. I can connect to my laptop and the controller charges.

I bought a new controller that connects wirelessly via the USB port. When I plug in the USB adaptor, I get a green light briefly and then it goes out.

Ps3 pad does not connect to the console

Hello,

The problem you described seems to come from your ps3 game controller (pad). You can try a different one and see if it works.

If the game pad is charging, the ports are ok.

Hope it helps

My PS3 controller won't go to the right. Help!

The problem could be as simple as a loose connection .. Control pads are fiddly and can get very frustrating I ended up buying a new pad as I figured that the stress wasn't worth the cost of a new 1 but 1 of my pads used to pull to the right constantly and the problem was solved by taking the pad apart and simply cleaning the inside and making sure all wires was connected .. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Ps3 controls not connecting

If they work wired and not wirelessly then you might have a problem with your wireless access module. Can you access the internet through your PS3?

Want to connect non wireless remote controls to console

No this is not true. you can purchase wired controllers for the PS3 usually at a greatly reduced price than the wireless models. Most larger PS3 retailers should have stock of wired control pads so it would pay to do some more ringing around

Hope this has helped
