(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I bought a new dualshock 3 controller because my old stopped working wirelessly. But this new one has the same issue! I tried resetting it but it still does the same thing. I plug it the controller, it blinks twice and shuts off. I don't think its the wire because it charges my Sixaxis controller just fine. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to get a new one?

Right this is a long shot, Is the controller that wont work set as Controller 1 or higher? if that is fine then maybe the controllers bluetooth chip has broken
