My Intec PS3 Turbo Shock Wireless Controller wont sync to my ps3. it is useless. i dont know what else to do. i have never dropped it. it was working fine one day and the next day it did not sync to my ps3. i have tried to hold the sync button and the home button. please help me.

Had a similar problem with an official Sony Dual Shock 3 recently. Turns out the solution was a very small pin hole sized reset button on the back of the controller. Have a look and see if yours has something similar, then try connect the charging cable again and sync. Worked on the official one for me anyway :/
Best of luck!

I have the same problem. I disconnected the key, plugged the controller with its original cable. Turned the PS3 on, turning controller on, pressing Sync, connecting the key in PS3. At that state, the 4 leds start to flash slower as it detects the key. Problem is I can never connect to console. I mean I press Home and it never connects. Its been working fine before I updated PS3 to 3.5 version.

Put new batteries in the controller, turn on the PS3,
turn on controller and then press the sync button. The LEDs will flash rapidly. Now insert the USB that comes with the controller, The LEDs flash slowly
Press the home button on the remote and you are ready to play

hello,
i believe all you need to do is use the usb charging cord and plug the controller to the cord and connect it to the ps3.
i hope i have helped and i hope it works, let me know how to goes!!!!

Remove the USB receiver from the ps3 console usb port. Turn OFF the ps3 console and the controller. Turn on the ps3. trun the controller to on. press the sync button on the controller. Insert the usb receiver to the usb port. Press Home button. Now I had two controllers one I had to return because no matter what i did it did not link but the 2nd one did this way

Here's how to connect it tou your ps3. Mine works perfectly guys.

1. Turn your ps3 off without the USB key given with the controller
2. Make sure your controller is off.
3. Turn on the ps3
4. Turn on the controller
5. Press on the sync. button of your controller.
6. Plug the USB key into one of your ps3's port
7. When the light above your controller starting to flash slower, just pess the home button and your controller will be sync.

You can't turn on the ps3 with this controller. So turn it on manually than press the home button of the controller to turn the controller on.

If my post doesn't solve your problem, I really don't know how to solve it. I managed to connect mine so I hope it'll be the same for you!

Sorry for my bad English folks! You know... french people =S
