Default PS3 controllers not working (they are new)?

So i woke up wanting to play some Cod, but for some reason, my controllers BOTH wouldnt turn on. I tryed charging them and again they wouldnt turn on. Then i called in where i bought them, and they told me to stick a needle in this really tiny hole on the back of the control for 5 seconds but STILL it didnt work. Finally i went to Best buy to ask for my warranty and sure enough they gave me two new controls.

They were working fine, until the next day when once again, one of my NEW controllers stopped I had made sure i got two different types and saw that the one that was working, was not the sony one that people usually buy.. This makes me think that, what the Manufactures are making, may have accidently screwed up a mass of controls. What could be wrong?

Plugged in Wired or using wireless?

If wireless, I wonder if it's receiving interference from another BT device. I'd try to see if it works plugged in. Bluetooth dongles, headphones, mice, etc etc. start removing them as a possible cause by unplugging them. It's highly unlikely 3 controllers are bad.

And when you say they will not turn on, do you mean that they are not working - or that the red light on the top of the controller won't come on either (no lights, no remote start, anything)?

Could be that the wireless reciever in your ps3 is weak or broken.
