a couple days ago i tried charging my control with the charger it came with but it didnt work and i didnt really care since the battery was kinda full. But know the control only has one bar and it wont charge!!! i plug it in but the lights dont turn on or anything. does anyone know whats wrong with my control/cable/ps3???
It could either be the USB cable, or it could be the USB port. Try plugging another USB item into the port, and see if it's recognized. If it is, your port is fine. But if it doesn't come up, your port is probably gone bad. Try plugging the cable into the other ports on the front of the PS3. Either that or it could be that your cable is defective, in which case you can buy a new cable at any electronics department in most stores. If it's the USB port, call Sony Tech Support and they'll fix it for you.
You do have the PS3 turned on when you plug in the controller to charge, right?
why spend money on a playstation 3 when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you one - at no charge!
try getting a new usb cable in gamestop and if that dont work get a new controller.
