There's nothing wrong with the port because I can charge my heaadset all the time.

[URL=https://www.playfire.com/]PSN Gamercards[/URLIf your trying to charge the controller when the system is in standby it won't work that way. The PS3 has to be on when it's chargeing the controller. I am one of those people that never turns the PS3 off anyway and have never had a problem with chargeing the controller (unless I forget and leave it on or not recharge it when the battery is low) when this happens I will use any USB port close by to charge the controller. - Mar 15, 2008 12:37 am GMT
Dead , done get another one .
Controler that is ...
- Mar 15, 2008 12:43 am GMTI tried charging the controller via the PC usb ports, but it wouldn't charge? ALL the number light were blinking instead of just one when it's charging on the PS3 so I assume that it didn't work or am I wrong?

You can charge your controller on your computer you know...
If you have a USB port, you can plug in the controller from there. I charge mine like that all the time and my controller is always charged.
- Mar 15, 2008 2:11 am GMTYou may have a faulty battery. I read somewhere that SONY will replace any faulty batteries or you can simply crack it open yourself and replace it. Check around the web for instructions or if you kept the instruction book that came with your PS3 there are instructions in it. Of course I could be wrong and your controller just freaked out, but I would call support and see what they can do.
- Mar 15, 2008 4:02 am GMTWithout lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom.This maybe a daft question but have you pressed the PS button and is the ps3 on. I often manage to run at least one of my controllers completely flat and you get all the lights flashing when the controller is not paired with the PS3
- Sep 1, 2008 9:23 pm GMTSomething is wrong with one of my controllers. One works ok but the other one doesn't. When I tried to put the one that doesn't work on the charger it doesn't charge. The lights won't even come on. But when I put the other controller on the charger it charges just fine. Then when I push the PS button on the broken controller the lights still won't come on. What should I do?
bah I've been havin the same problems with my controller. I'm going to order a new charger and new controller and figure out if its either the controller, the chord, or the ps3..and I just boughtthis ps3 a couple weeks ago.. got the slimothy.:|

i had this happen before.. the recharge part that goes into the controller might be flimsy so it can move around a bit while it's plugged into the controller.. you have to work with it to hit the hot spot!..
or buy a new recharge cord..
