Post: PS3 Controller Problem
06-29-2011, 08:05 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So i have a controller that won't connect to my ps3. The problem is that the lights constantly flash. Now i took apart this controller and swapped the battery with another one and the other controller worked and the battery was fully charged, that leads me to believe that the controllers motherboard or something related has a problem any suggestions? BTW the controllers warranty was already voided so SONY can't help

haha do what my cuzin did, he took the motherboard and battery out of the controler over christmas break then put it all back in the original packaging and used superglue to make it look all official, then went to kmart (very busy at the time) exchanged it for a colored one, then sold the insides on ebay for a bid of 80 dollars people should just take the time to check things
