My brother gave me one of his PS3 controllers because he never uses it and I now can't get it to connect to my PS3. I've tried to charge it and also tried resetting it but nothing works.

What should I do to fix this?

Did you try to connect the controller and PS3 with a mini USB cable?

To make sure the controller still works as intended, did it work for your brother's device? If not, then the controller is likely to be faulty.

  • I can't recall what I was trying to do, but I can confirm you need to connect the controller directly to the PlayStation, to synch up.

  • as @Timelord64 says the PS3 controllers must have been connected at least 1 time to the PS3 over USB to get it then work wireless
