Sony BLU-RAY-REMOTE-CONTROL-PS3 user manual

There are several possible reasons why your PS3 controller may not be working wirelessly:
1. Battery issues: Your PS3 controller might not be charged. Try connecting your controller to the PS3 console using a USB cable and see if it begins to charge.
2. Sync issue: If your PS3 controller is not synced with your console, it won't work wirelessly. Connect it to the PS3 with a USB cable and then press the PlayStation button on the controller to sync it.
3. Interference: Sometimes other devices can interfere with the Bluetooth connection between your console and controller. Try to remove or turn off other devices to see if that helps.
4. Hardware issue: The controller or console could be damaged. Try using a different controller or the problematic controller with a different console if possible to identify where the issue is.
5. Bluetooth issue: The PS3 uses Bluetooth to connect with the controller. There may be a problem with the Bluetooth receiver in either the console or the controller.
6. Firmware/Software issue: You might need to update your PS3 system software or reset your controller's settings to default.
If the controller still doesn't work wirelessly after trying these tips, you may need to contact Sony's customer support or consider getting a new controller.

There could be several reasons why your PS3 controller is not turning on. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Ensure that the controller is charged: Connect the controller to the PS3 using the USB cable and allow it to charge for a while. It is possible that the battery is depleted.
2. Try another USB cable: The problem could be with the USB cable itself. Switch to a different cable and see if that helps.
3. Reset the controller: Locate the small reset button on the back of the controller (usually near the L2 button) and press it using a small, pointed object like a toothpick or paperclip. Then try turning it on again.
4. Sync the controller: If the controller is not synced with the PS3, it may not turn on. Connect the controller to the PS3 using the USB cable and press the PlayStation button (the big round button in the center). Once the controllers sync, try disconnecting the cable and turning it on wirelessly.
5. Replace the battery: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that the battery in the controller needs to be replaced. This may require opening up the controller, so if you are not comfortable doing this, consider contacting Sony customer support or a professional technician.
If none of these steps solve the issue, it might indicate a hardware problem, and you may need to consider purchasing a new controller.
