Find the gamepad’s charging cable. PS3 usually comes with a USB cable to charge the controller, this cable has a large end that plugs into the USB port, the other end plugs into the PS3 controller.
- If you don’t have a PS3 charging cable, you can buy it new on Amazon.
- You need to make sure that you use the original Sony charging cable and not a third-party, as cables from other manufacturers provide unstable performance.

Plug the USB end of the charging cable into the PS3. The USB end will fit into one of the narrow rectangular ports on the front of the PS3.
- If the USB don’t fit into the PS3’s port, rotate the plug 180 degrees and try again.
- The plastic piece inside the USB cable should be below the plastic piece at the top inside the PS3’s USB slot.

Reset PS3 controller. To proceed, you need to insert a pin or a paper clip straight into the small hole on the underside of the gamepad, just below the L2 button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c9/Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Charge-a- PS3-Contrpler-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Connect the gamepad to the USB port on the PS3. If the controller is not charging, we will identify the problem with the USB port.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Charge-a- PS3-Contrpler-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Charge-a-PS3-Contrpler-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Connect the gamepad to your computer’s USB port and turn it on. Although the PS3 controller cannot be charged on a computer, the controller will light up if you press the power button while the device is connected to the computer. If the gamepad does not light up, the problem is in the cable.

Use a different charging cable. In some cases, the problem can be caused by a damaged or faulty USB cord.
- Third-party USB cables usually don’t work with PlayStation technology, so if you’re buying a new cable, buy the correct Sony cable.
Advice
- You can play games while charging the PS3 controller, but the controller needs to be connected to the game console via a USB cable to maintain the charging process until the battery is full.
- To check the current battery level of your PS3 controller, press and hold the PlayStation logo button on the controller for at least two seconds. The current battery level will be quickly displayed on the TV or computer screen.
Warning
- The PS3 controller will only charge if the PS3 is connected to a power source. If the controller is connected to the PS3 but the console itself has no power, the controller will not be charged.
