I am having two major problems right now, first my sixaxis is not pairing upto my ps3, it wont turn on with the sixaxis, and when it is on it won't sync with the controller. I have tried two controllers
My second problem is that there is no signal coming from my ps3 to my tv. I am using HMDI, and it recognizes when the ps3 is unplugged by saying check cable source, but when it's on it says no signal. I have also tried composite cables and it still said "no signal"
I think the two problems could be rooted together from a power surge possibly, since everything worked fine an hour earlier. Does anyone have any suggestions at all???

first, you need to plug your PS3 controller with USB cable initially for your PS3 and your controller to connect. You can't just press PS home button and just use it right away.
second, if you just hooked your PS3 to your TV, chances are that your PS3 initial setting is set to RGB mode. Use the cable that came with PS3 and set your configuration to HDMI.
Have you tried holding the power button until the second beep when turning the system on, this will force the console into a auto-detect mode that will let the console select the correct cable. Once the connection is made then you should be able to pair the controller up after that.
just tried the auto detect mode, but still no signal. i havent tried the composite cables again yet, but when i tried them last night they didnt work either, thanks for all the help so far though !
Try resetting your PS3. I think if you hold down on the power button for at least 5 seconds, it goes back to the default mode. If you set it to HDMI before, that is why you can't use standard composite on the system. Try resetting it first..

Turn off your PS3 at the back ... Unplug the power cable ... Make sure you have Composite cables plugged into your PS3 ( the one PS3 came with ...) Wait 5 mins ... Plug it back in ... Turn the switch at the back - back on ... hold the "on" button down untill your PS3 beeps ... Now keep ignoring your controllers at this point - does PS3 work ? if no - then call SONY , if yes move on to controllers ...
Okay Press the HOME button to turn on your controller -- if its not turning on properly / find PS3ing PS3 hold the HOME button down untill the controller turns off ... Now their should be a reset button at the back - push it in ... See if the controller works now ...
Thats all the help i or anyone else can really give you mate -- ohh and if you think your PS3 is running but not outputing video (eg. you have a sound system hooked up via Optical / HDMI and you can makes PS3 run music u have on it or anything really ) then try different inputs on your TV ...
Other than that - if your PS3 is dead you are unlucky friend :(
I had this problem when i spilled pepsi all over my controller. Get some saftey pin and there's a little reset butting under the controller, i think it's under the "1" thingy.
