LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have a slim PS3 and 2 Wireless controllers for it. For some reason, They cannot connect wireless. I AM able to turn on the PS3 with the controller then the 4 lights just blink quickly on the controller and it never connects. I can connect it using the wire and it will work however it will not work wireless. I have done the following which i read on the official Playstation forum. However it does not work Connect the controller to the cable. Hit the reset button on the back of the controller. Hit the PS button Wait for it to tell you Controller 1 Disconnect the Controller from the cable Turn the PS3 off and then back on again. However it does not work and the controller still will not connect. The batteries are fully charged if that helps. Any help would be amazing Thank you.

richardsim7 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 You sure you pushed the reset button long enough? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/853064-ps3-controller-not-connecting-wirelessly/#findComment-591941922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That happened to my single DS3 controller. I did some of the things mentioned but i don't recall the order. I may have booted up the system with the controller wired in. It was frustrating.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 7, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2009 You sure you pushed the reset button long enough? I have tried from a single quick push to a ten second push to a 30 second push still to no avail.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 7, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted December 7, 2009 I am on whatever the latest update for the system is. I always keep my system up to date and they are also the Dual Shock 3 Standard Black official Sony Controllers if it matters.

ienhz Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Are you on PS3 Slim? If so, there are tons of problems with 3.10 and controller sync.

JackBauer87 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Same problem here. Its because of the slim and 3.10. Only way it works properly is by turning off the system manually (pressing the power button) and turning it back on manually after resetting the controller. Pain in the butt, but it works.
