PS3 Pads Blinking Red Lights And Not Coming On. PLS HELP by willidaine(op): 10:14pm On Aug 06, 2020
Hello gamers

Trust you are doing well

please I am having an issue with my two controllers. I lent my friend both of them to use over the weekend. When I got them back. The lights kept on blinking when I press the PlayStation button. I charged it but still the same issue.

Please any suggestions on how to make it work will be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

I just bought a cable now. I was asked to get an original one because the ones I was using before did not work. I'm just waiting for light now. Fingers crossed. Thanks

Mine was having same issues.

All of a sudden it started blinking red lights, i had to reset it by using a pin to press the reset button at the back of the controller.

Then hooked up the cobtroller via USB to allow it charge for a while during gameplay.

Then when battery was fully charged, i unplugged it from the usb cord and it started working well.

Then i noticed the chargin icon keeps popping up on the tv screen almost every minute with out pressing the PS logo.

Just had to dismantle the damn controller and then cleaned the entire panel. Coupled it back and VOILA, it stopped displaying the Ps charging icon on tv screen...

Pls note this a fake ps3 controller...

It should work this way, if it doesn't then your game console has refused to see wireless but am certain it's from the USB chord

Does it connect wirelessly? If not your ps3 wireless is faulty and needs to be replaced. Does the game load well during boot, i.e xmb logo + sound?

If its a new pad..get an original cable connect to the PS3 while the console is on
OR
You can reset the pad..turn the pad to the back you would see a tiny hole, use a pin or something point then punch in..
One of these should definitely fix the pad
