(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've been having this problem for the past 2 days now. When I plug my controller into my ps3 for charging it charges for about 10 seconds then stops charging and the battery level goes to "-". I can still play like that with it plugged in, it works like a ps2 controller Yesterday it started charging again randomly, charged to a full battery but today it won't charge again. I have tried searching google for solutions, I have tried resetting my controller, using a different usb cable/port, restarting my system and a few other things but none of them work. I would really prefer to not have to buy a new controller seeing as how they're $60 where I live, and even after buying new controllers some people online still have the same issue. I just got off the phone with sony and they can't repair my controller for free because I don't have my receipt anymore. So if anyone has any solutions please post them i'd really appreciate it, thanks.

it could be a problem with power going through your ps3, try charging it in the wall or a computer:y:

do what he said ^ and if that doesnt work turn the controller off and hold the reset button on the bottom of the controller for 45 seconds. same thing happened to me and holding the reset button for 45 seconds fixed mine

really good answers guys but ill add if this dont work buy a preowned controller from a game shop there only like 25 usd at my local gamestop
