Old controller not connecting

Old controller not connecting -  An Elderly Man Controlling a Robot

My brother gave me one of his PS3 controllers because he never uses it and I now can't get it to connect to my PS3. I've tried to charge it and also tried resetting it but nothing works.

What should I do to fix this?

ps3


Best Answer

Did you try to connect the controller and PS3 with a mini USB cable?

To make sure the controller still works as intended, did it work for your brother's device? If not, then the controller is likely to be faulty.

Why is my controller on but not connecting?

If your Xbox controller won't connect, you should first make sure the batteries aren't dead. You can also try updating your Xbox One controller and console to fix the issue. Check that there are no interfering objects or devices, and move or disconnect them if necessary.
