i bought a new dualshock sixaxis ps3 controller yesterday. i have 2 controllers already and didnt have a problem pairing them with ps3. for some reason though, it wont pair with my ps3. i dont know what to do. i plug it into the usb cable and all my controller does is flash. i hit the ps button and nothing happens. i have tried the reset button but still get flashing. i feel so stupid that i cant get it to pair. can you please help?

There is a hole on the back of the controller to reset it, try it. Else it's probably dust in the USB or a defective USB wire, but I would doubt that since both of your controller can't pair with it lol. Just try reseting the controller. Connect it with the USB, turn off the PS3, turn it back on with the Power button. Disconnect your controllers while its on. It happened to me once and I just did that. Strange but yeah, so frustrating.

What do you mean by "pair" i have a ps3 as well if you try to answer my question i will try my best to help you btw you are not stupid
