blitzkreiig Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Its not working mate, i tried the whole thing.....But it chooses slot 1 again n again(even if there's already another controller assigned to that slot)....never functions though. I cant buy a new controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastAvenger Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 damn! Sorry to hear it but the controller quality sucks to be honest. My DS3 is not charing anymore after it was idle for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzkreiig Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well while i was finding solutions for my query i read up a few probs similar to yours, here's what u can try: Charge it using a PC Charge it on the charging station It seemed to work for them, no harm in trying.

Kazekage Gaara Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 This is just a theory, but is yours an original one or a fake ? May be Sony figured out a way to barr the fake ones. I heard there were a lot of them making rounds in the grey market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have heard a few ppl claiming that their DS3 stopped working after the fw update. Problem Mostly exists with japanese DS3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard there were a lot of them making rounds in the grey market. I bought it box packed from Palika...How to recognise if its fake or not? I have heard a few ppl claiming that their DS3 stopped working after the fw update. Problem Mostly exists with japanese DS3's There aint any Japanese language on it, just english n what seems to be like french(am no expert).
