so yes obviously coming here isn't a great solution if i'm having a problem with a playstation but you guys are more likely to give me an answer faster and if nothing here works ill register on a different forum.
i have a playstation 3 and two controllers, one which came with the thing and one i bought a week later, both connected fine and immediately to the system.
today my friends came over (about a year after i got the ps3) and one of them brought a third, dualshock controller painted red, he says it isn't custom or anything.
what i've tried:
first
1. press ps button
failed
then
1. plug friend controller into a two-controller charger i bought for those original two controllers that connect fine
2. press ps button
failed
then
1. plug friend controller straight into ps3 with the original charging cord
2. press ps button
failed
then
1. turn off ps3
2. turn on ps3
3. plug friend controller straight into ps3 with the original charging cord
4. press ps button
failed
then
1. turn off ps3
2. plug friend controller straight into ps3 with the original charging cord
3. press reset button in back of controller (held for 10 seconds)
4. turn on ps3 (controller is still plugged in)
5. press ps button
failed
nothing is loving working, this is absolute grade a bullstuff.
