If your PlayStation 3 controller ceases to function, first check the LED indicator lights on the front of the controller to ensure that it is still connected to the system. If the lights are off, first attempt to connect the controller to the PlayStation 3 or a power source with the USB cable. Press the PS button and the controller will reconnect with the system. If all four lights on the controller are flashing simultaneously, the controller is functioning, but cannot connect to the system. In this scenario, move the controller closer to the PlayStation and wait for the connection to complete. When connecting the controller to the PS3 via USB or Bluetooth fail to suffice, contact Sony eSupport for assistance.

Why isn't my ps3 controlller working wirelessly but is works with the usb cord and the controller will turn on the ps3?

Look this is the worst thing that can happen than other being broke. When your controller needs charging put it on the charger. It happened to me i kick my every day for not listening and watching the battery power status, the next one you get listen to it that's how your contoller stops working you killed the battery. That's why they give u chargers. The controller will always discharge if you do not set it to automatic off when the PS3 system is turned off on the settings menu. That when you go to play again the battery will be discharged PS3 does not charge when turned off and the USB cable will charge if plugged anything with USB port


Your sony flat screen was working fine with your PS3 but now when you turn your PS3 on it says no signal What is wrong?

It is your TV that is saying no signal and not the PS3. When it happens to me it is when the TV is not switched to the correct source. For me this is when the HDTV is still at the PS3 source of HDMI or HDMI-3 plug and not the cable HDMI plug or HDMI-1. It can also happen when you purchase a cheap HDMI cable that stops working or when something is just disconnected from either end of the PS3 A/V or HDMI cable
