Either the controller is broken, or your battery is dead. Try plugging in your controller to the PS3 to see if it will turn on.

How to repair a dead ps3 controller..I used my controller turned it of the next day tried to turn it back on and it wont work.got a new battery and it still does not work?

The PS3 will not charge a controller while it is off. The controller will not turn off when you turn off the PS3 unless you change the PS3 settings. This can cause the controller to always have a dead battery each time you go to use it. Go to PS3 settings for the controller and click yes for auto turn off when PS3 is turned off. This may not be your problem and you can tell because the PS3 controller should work with a dead battery if it is plugged into the charging cable and the PS3 is turned on.

If your ps3 controller isn't working wirelessly what should you do?

If your ps3 controller isn't working wirelessly, then you may have to reregister it. To do this, you have to plug it into the ps3 with the special cord. If it still doesn't work, even if it is left plugged in, then you may have something wrong with your controller and you may have to purchase a new controller. You should also check the charge on the PS3 wireless controller. if you unplug a PS3 that battery is not charged it will not work. When you turn off the PS3 if you have not set the PS3 to also turn off the controller automatically in controller setting the controller will remain on and the battery will drain. The PS3 does not charge controllers when it is off.
