My controller froze and the light won't turn off.?

May be...

I turned off my system and the controller light stayed on. Then i rebooted the system by pressing the button (not on the controller) and it won't respond to the controller. Even when i plug it in. HELP!

This has happened to me twice now. If you have tried the reset button with the paperclip and it still didn't work like mine then do what I did. Let the battery die (it may take two or so days depending on charge levels) once it dies plug it back into the ps3 via the usb cable. Let it sit for a few minutes to get some charge into it. During this time you should boot up the ps3 manually if it wasn't already. Then just push the PS button as normal. It should assign properly to the first available controller port.

Usually what i do is i put the USB cable in the USB port and insert it into the controller, and wait a second and it should re-appear as player 1.

But really when your going to turn off the system you should hold in the PS button and click 'turn off system'. then wait and both the PS3 and controller will go off.

Hope it helps

My controller is screwed too, it turns the ps3 on by itself. try finding a paper clip or maybe a thumbtack and reseting the controller by pushing the little rest button on the back. Note that you will have to re assign the controller to the ps3.
