Controller won't sync to system..

Archive: 9 posts


Sometimes I will turn on my system and my controller won't sync up. The 4 red lights just flash. When I connect the controller using the chord it works. But when I unplug it the 4 red lights flash again.

I usually have to restart my system and then the controller works.
This doesn't happen everytime but it has happened here and there.

Just wondering if other people have had this same problem

It has been a problem since the last update for some people.

Sony has a optional system upgrade being released this weekend to fix it.
See playstation blog below.

Are you using a Sixaxis by any chance? That controller had a weak receiver and there was synch problems.
The Dualshock 3 however received a better one and the problem is gone. (at least for a large majority of people).

That just started happening with one of my controllers... I plugged one of them in and turned on the other one. Then I went to controllers assignment option and switched them. I just turned the other one off and it worked after that.2009-12-13 16:19:00

I've had this too, really bugging me!

I have reset all of my controllers and resyncd them (including DS3s) to no real avail (fix is only temporary). I turned my PS3 off at the plug a couple of days ago for the whole day and that (so far) seems to have fixed things... Don't really want to jynx it though!!

Hope this helps for you too

Well, it's not just the Slim model. I have an 80GB from last fall and this just started happening to me out of the blue.2009-12-13 20:56:00
