Ps3 – Playstation 3 – controller connection problem

controllersps3

I've bought new PS3 and I can't connect my cotroller. I've tried reseting the controller using the reset button but this didn't work. I've also tried reseting PS3 system – again, no result. I'm trying to connect the controller using following steps

  1. connect controller to PS3 using USB cable
  2. start console
  3. Press PS button to sync controller with PS3

but after I press the PS button, the controller doesn't sync. I also have another controller that sync with no problem. I've found many discussions about it but it all recommends reseting the controller.

Thanks for any ideas.

To me seems like controller is either dead, or for some reason incompatible.

You said that you bought new PS3, is controller that comes with PS3 working, and the one that you have from old console (?) not working? Is the contoller that is not working an original Sony controller, or a compatible one from some other brand?
