I was organizing and cleaning my bedroom the other day, and noticed my PS3 controller had 2 lights that stayed on solid and it wouldn't connect to the console, so I unplugged it from the charge cord, and left it unplugged for 36 hours thinking it would eventually drain itself. Then I saw this video and hit the reset button as you showed, and the 2 solid red lights started flashing then turned into 4 lights flashing for 20 seconds, then it went back to normal operation. Thank you for this video.

That was my problem anyways i dont know about you guys. try looking at it and if youre unsure compare it to another ps3 controller

You don't need to do this sometimes. Its a bluetooth problem,it's the controller trying to communicate with the console. if the battery is ok all you do is charge the controller by ps3 to full then turn the console off with controller or the power button,then reboot the console with the charging lead in using the controller or the power button on the console,then when the single light starts flashing as if its charging again pull the lead out quickly whilst its doing this and everything will work perfectly again. I did all this when my console started to turn itself off after it fully charged and getting the 4 flashing lights and in doing all the above cures all these problems and gets everything back to normal again.

*IT WORKED!* I ended up with a bit of a dilemma. I've started playing the Dead Space series for the first time on my PS3. I finished the first two, and booted up Dead Space Extraction before finally settling things with 3. Unfortunately, this entire time, I've been playing with a 3rd-party controller with no SIXAXIS functionality, leaving me softlocked in the tutorial, as there's a point that requires you to use it before it lets you move forward. And unfortunately, my original PS3 controller is busted in such a way that if it's activated, it will send random multidirectional inputs at warp speed. So, I had to buy a whole extra controller... and ran into this!

Sadly, it doesn't work for me. I can only use it wired, so the cable is not the problem. It's odd because even if I don't use the PS3 since march of this year, 2 weeks ago I turn it on and it was fine. Edit: after a little research I came to the conclusion that the problem is in the motherboard (wifi/Bluetooth module) because wifi doesn't work either. So if any of you guys still have this problem, it might be that.
