Copied from the PSN forums:
Quote:Ive been having an issue with my controllers for a while, which sometimes seems to rectify itself, then comes back intermittentley (worst spelling ever i think).
I have both a Dualshock3 and a standard controller, and neither of them will sync to my console without me plugging them into the usb lead, pressing the PS button, then turning the console off, and then back on again with the controller still plugged into the lead. Only then can i unplug the lead and it will sync wirelessly. If i remove the lead before switching the console off then on again, the lights just flash a few times, then stop.
I recently got the console back online (long story), and after a system update, the problem seemed to fix itself for a day or two, but now they wont even sync after plugging in, switching off then on again.
Ive tried resetting the controllers, resetting the console by holding the power button for 10 secs, im at my wits end now, can anyone offer any other solutions?
Wondering if this could be a problem with the bluetooth receiver in the console itself, as im having exactly the same problem with both my controllers, so i dont think the controllers are at fault.
Any thoughts guys? I know this is a car forum, but i know there are some electrical/computer boffs on here, so hoping someone might have some idea.
And i dont want any "get an xbox instead" replies please, ps3 is mostly an entertainment unit now, i use my PC most for gaming.

Does sound bluetoothy toe, not that I know f*ck all
Take em apart, clean em up, see if anything looks broken?
Or borrow another controller and see if it does the same thing?

Sounds to me like it could be your bluetooth unit. As samass said try someone else's controller first. If still the same replace the unit.

Thanks Andy...
And cheers Kent, am hoping that it'll be an easy fix, not really up for buying a new ps3!
Did a"restore default settings" in safe mode last night, and that seemed to fix it, I've yet to find out if its still working this morning though, kids are hogging the telly! Lol

Good shout Jonny! Dirt cheap as well. Result. As you say, shouldn't be too difficult to change it, not afraid to open the console up, already put a 320gb hard drive in mine!

True...whats your psn then dude? Mines W1NgNuTz (some lady garden had already taken WiNgNuTz. )
Also, its kinda working at the moment (touch wood), so might not need to replace anything just yet, but might message one of you for a bluetooth unit at some point anyway.

Well you're to have a mixed blend. I'll make sure to take a laxative to make it appear like I'm applying a sauce to your poo already on your doormat.
