So, just yesterday, I went to Walmart and got me a new Playstation 3 DaulShock 3 controller. Camo color. Light. Pretty nice overall. But, I can't get the dang thing to charge! I don't have a PS3, in case you're wondering. I bought it for my phone so I could play my emulators more easily :/ . But that's beside the point, which is, I need [HELP] (which is why I came here, it is the "help"/tech support forum after all, and my problem just so happens to fall under both categories >:D). My original problem was that I that I didn't have the appropriate type of USB Mini B cord that would fit the controller (the one for my phone is Mini B, but it's a different shape). So my friend gave me one, and I have it plugged into the PC, but it's not doing anything! The only thing that happens when I plug it into the computer is that the top red lights will flash on for about a second, then they will go right back off again! It's so annoying!!! I tried resetting the controller. That didn't work. I tried to use a different PC, THAT didn't work. I read somewhere on some forum that the thickness of thie USB cord mattered somewhat, but I don't know if that's entirely the case.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. After all, I have a Youtube Channel to run (@ClassicGameReviewsVI), so I need to start making/uploading some videos ASAP. |
