PS3 Controller not charging or syncing with ps3

controllersps3

The last time i played a game on my playstation 3 was in February 2014. Now, its August 2014, and my controller can't seem to sync with my PS3 Console.

Whenever I connect it using the charging cord, nothing happens, and when I press the round button, it syncs with the console, but doesn't blink (i.e doesn't charge). And as soon as I disc my charging cord with the PS3, it loses the connection. Its like a ps2 controller, whenever I connect. one light turns on but doesn't blink.

I won't charge on my pc as well. I am running windows 8.1 and i tried everything i read online but nothing happened! Also tried pressing the reset button but no luck! Its been two days now.

Boot to main menu, plug the controller in charging cord, sync controller with console, and then press and hold the PS button for few seconds, the console should show you controller menu, showing charge level as well. If it shows "--" instead of charge level (bars inside battery icon) then that means that battery in controller is dead.
