- 1) If you are playing, SysID LED(s) are on.
2) If you are playing and charging, SysID LED(s) blinking, slowly.
3) If the controller is off and not charging, no LEDs are on.
4) If the controller is off and is charging, all LEDs will blink, slowly.
5) If the controller is dying while playing, all SysID LED(s) will blink, rapidly.
If you typically have only 1 or two controllers then SysID will be 1 & 2.
But if you've replaced controllers and have had friends connect their controllers
your SysID's could be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc.
The bit about ie. LED 2 and 4 = channel 6 was good, but there are mistakes. The reason it LOOKED fully charged in the USB charger is because it already had three bars and it wasn't charging it, the DS was just showing a solid LED (Meaning connected, not charging, but charged enough status) and showed the same status on the console with the now un moving charge bars, solid red square, and 'Charge Level' instead of 'Charge Complete' text. Not all USB sources work with a DS. If they DO work, then when the console is ON and connected the corresponding channel SINGLE LED will slow blink on the DS and the console will display as if it was charging it, but If the console is OFF, and obviously not connected, then all four DS LEDs will slow blink. When fully charged by either console or charger the DS will return to it's respective single solid LED and if/when connected, the console will say 'Charge Complete' with a solid 3 bar graphic on the 'Turn OFF' screen, changing back to 'Charge Level' when you unplug. When you turn the console ON from the PS button there is also a rapid all four blink whilst the controller is connecting which changes to the corresponding single channel LED it is on when it connects, also short pressing the PS button will momentarily bring up a small charge/channel status panel on the XMB next to the clock etc. panel. You can set when or if the controller auto-offs in the 'Power Save Settings'. Interestingly the PS4 allows you to choose if the controller connects via blutooth or USB in the settings.
Wow! Thanks for all that info!
I wish I could redo this video with all the new found knowledge, but I sold everything a week after I created the bid.
This video is weirdly relaxing
ASMR?
8.20 the guy's wrong, the cable isnt just for charging its to play games too which you will need to do if the controller is dying and you dont have enough charge
0:19 Appreciate it, sir.
tysm for this!
Tbh it's just that all we want to know 😂😂
I have 2 controllers; different ages…
Last time I used them was a week or so ago. Didn’t matter which one I pressed the PS button on, the system would turn on with either controller’s PS button being used
Today I pressed the PS button on one of them and all 4 LED’s were flashing rapidly and the system did nothing (remained off)
Saw a video running down the whole plug in, reset controller, turn on system and press PS button to pair, but that didn’t seem to work for me.
Both controllers do this as of today
Both have been on a licensed charging dock, so unless there was an issue where they weren’t plugged in all the way, they SHOULD be charged (the indicator light for each port was green, so they ~should~ be fully charged)
But at the same time I thought that all 4 LED’s flashing rapidly meant that the controller was out of juice…
thanks,it helps a lot
That's sweet. So, my question, and the reason I watched for ten whole minutes, was what does it do when it is off, fully charged, and plugged in.
My controller is brand new out the box but all the LED's are flashing all at once at the same time but my brand new controller ain't working
Has it ever connected to your PS3? Could that mean it's searching for a connection?
@@R4idenXS it's brand new I just bought it today, its already connected to my ps3 it was working three times each time for like couple seconds hense why I was able to put a dvd on to watch but it's stopped working I've pressed the ps3 button on the controller but all 4 LED lights keep flashing slowly at the time and its still not working, I dunno if the flashing is means it's charging, but I watched another video and the person said if LED 1 is flashing means it's charging and its in use if all LED lights is flashing means controller is off and charging but it can't be off cuz I was using it
i don't think charging to a cell phone power brick works because there is no LED indication that it is actually charging. Your own example shows this both on the screen menu and the PS3s LED stopped blinking a charge. How ever, when plugged to a PC the LEDs indicate that it is charging.
edit: Wall chargers dont work because of the lack of USB hand shaking: th-cam.com/video/aMLUA5CBwyo/w-d-xo.html
Interesting. I did use multiple cell phone chargers to keep the controllers fully charged. My confusion might be that I only charged the stick controllers and not the Dual Shock controller. Can anyone else confirm this?
One other thought is that the handshaking he's referring to is just the attempt to initiate an ID Number setting for new controllers. Possibly if the specific cell phone charger you use is out of tolerance by 1% then it won't charge?!?
@@hgodtx Can confirm my ds3 doesn't charge up with chargers (all lights are off). I have to insert it to a usb port (pc) for it to charge
same with mine..
Im plugging im the charger while in the menu,1 light is blinking but fast asf help
obtained an unused ps3 controller with origin cable today, guess its sitting dry for very long time, plug-in play no problem, unplug wont sync, charging status show complete but would go into charging again, let it sit alone plug into usb charging to the wall no light blinks, either fully charged or battery dry dead. Please help.
Thanks man. Aug. 2024
Is there a signal for a fully charged controller while being plugged in?
Yes! If it's not blinking then it's fully charged! 5:10
Thanks a lot using my ps3 my bro gave me years ago lol it’s 01/30/2023
All 4 lights are blinking on boot then, if I press the PS button again all 4 lights are on, not blinking.. What does it mean? My ps3 came from Norway..
I think I better ask Kurt or Joan what really happen to all those gadgets (playstation, psp, gameboy, tablet, telpad, cellphones) and ask them WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED (it took 3-5 days).. Those gadgets are not broken.... I think it was replaced, they only install the contents..
Hi mate, when i plug the controller in, it blinks twice then stops. I assume this means that it's fully charged, however, when I unplug it and start playing wirelessly, it says that it's about to run out of charge. Any ideas?
"System id to the controller" xD the 7 ,1, 2 or whatever shows which controller you use. Don't explain if you don't know exactly.
Hey i kinda need ur help and ur video is the only one that looks helpful, so my ps3 controller blinks on all 4 leds 2 times and wont charge, the charging on ps3 show "-". I have changed the battery still didnt work.
Its probably the bluetooth on ps3 that is no longer working check if u can connect to wifi if u cant. The bluetooth and wifi antennas on your ps3 are no good
How we know when controller is fully charged ?
Two ways: 1) go into the menu system and view the charge level, 2) when it's plugged in and the LEDs are not blinking!
Thank you, I can't ever understand that shit
Honestly I use ds3 only for the xmb menu, you can play games with a ds4 or even a dualsense
ok, so I'm a bit Confused. how are the lights supposed to look like when it's fully charged?
It's definitely confusing! If it's plugged in and the LEDs are not blinking then it's fully charged. From 5% to 99% the LEDs will blink when it's charging and will be steady (not blinking) when it reaches 100%. Here's the confusing part: let's say it's 75%, yes, it will be blinking while charging, but if you unplug the cable the LEDs will be steady (at only 75%).
is Ps3 controller compatible whit pc emulatoring ?
and other games
Do you need the standard PlayStation cable to charge it
my major problem rn, it just turns off randomly, cleaned the ribbon cable, cleaned the board, everything else is cleaned, tried other solutions but none worked :( can you figure a way? I cant buy a new one
Right now I've just got my controller from ebay, and the system...I still don't have another HDMI cord or AV cord yet to actually bring up the PS3 menu to even tell if its working. But I've had it plugged in to charge now for over an hour, and its still just the one light blinking...Aren't the other lights supposed to light up as it begins charging? Please help me! I really don't have enough money to freaking buy another controller if this one is somehow faulty. Also, I reset the controller with a pin before I began attempting to charge...I've still gotta wait a few more days to get a freaking AV or HDMI cord to actually ATTEMPT PLAYING!! Again, please help me! ;_;
Thank you in advance!!
Any updates???
One LED blinking means that the system ID is #1 and it is charging. I vaguely remember empty to full was about 2hrs. Once it's fully charged the single LED will go steady (no more blinking). The other 3 LEDs will always be dark unless you bring it to a friend's house and pair it with his console. The number of LEDs lit up have nothing to do with charge level, they only represent the ID number. Blinking or not blinking represents the charge level. If after 4hrs it's still blinking I'd say you have a faulty battery.
hey, I haven't used my controllers in a while, here's the thing: I plug the controller into the ps3, the 4 lights blink slowly for a bit, and then they stop. Is it charging?
I heard when the controller light turns off when it’s plugged it’s done but it may be ur cord if it still doesn’t feel fully charged
Mine were charging, but after a 20-30 minute it’s start making a pop sound and the blink disappear, after that it won’t turn on anymore
When charging from pc it will blink 11 times stop then 9 and repeat
You're wrong about using pc or a random charger to charge ps3 controllers, this video didnt prove anything. You used the console to charge the controller then when you plugged it to the pc it was ALREADY charged and synced to your console hence the solid light. If you charge it without the console ALL the controller lights flash at once
You are right, kind of. See further notes below about this issue in discussion with davidglobex189.
Also interesting:

i have a problem with mine. So when i plug the controller into the charger, its charging but sometimes it doesn’t and when it doesn’t charge my charge level shows a minus (-). What does that mean??
I had that issue because my cord was going bad. You'll need to get a USB mini-B cord that charges and syncs.
@@DingDangJon So actually, i restarted it when i thought it was broken. But now it works perfectly fine. Thanks for the solution tho!
How do i know if my controller is charging when there is no indication that its charging? No lights no nothing. When i turn on my TV my controller thats plugged into it has all 4 led lights blinking but my other 2 in my outlet that are plugged in have no LED indication that its charging.
I've found my controller won't charge from anything other than the console. Well I don't know if it's charging, maybe it is but there are no lights on unless it's in the console.
But mine is not charging, even when I'm playing nothing is charging 😢😢
Would you know if all indicator should be on when fully charged?
No. The 4 LEDs represent the controller system ID# 0:50. If your controller is #1 then you will only see 1 LED go solid when plugged in and fully charged. If it's not plugged in then there is no way to tell the charge level just by looking at the LEDs. You have to go into the menu system 5:11. You can see the battery level with a three bar indicator.
I have 4 solid lights when I put a charger in. If they won’t connect to my ps3
did you ever get this fixed? i have the same issues
My ps3 controller charges but wont turn on and its connected to the ps3. What do i do?
please help me !, when i plugged in my ps3 controller to mac , the controller is showing only 2nd & 3rd lights onn and 1 and 4 are off . what does it mean and how to get it connected with mac for the first time (i brought this controller today).
That just means that the controller is the fifth
My ps3 controll ehile charging dorsn flash its just stays red on id 1
mine is number 2 playing and charging. however it shuts down as soon as i remove the USB. whats the solution ?
I'm guessing the battery is at death's door! What does the battery indicator show in the menu system? Check out this video:
th-cam.com/video/PBUcwkN1DnU/w-d-xo.html
New battery
@@hgodtx I have the same issue and the console says "charge level: -"
@@galphie5997 Sounds like it's time for a new battery! Check out this video:
th-cam.com/video/PBUcwkN1DnU/w-d-xo.html
@@hgodtx Thanks, but it actually was my charging cable hahaha I bought a new one yesterday and it charges perfectly. But thanks, anyway!
Why can't i charge my controller i plugges it in but theres no lights ??
Get a thicker cable and plug it in your console directly. Amazon has a two pack of 6’ cables for like 15 bucks
how I know when controller is fully charged?
When the LEDs stop blinking.
How to get that controller checker app
App? Where did you hear about an app?
@@hgodtx i mean how are u checking those flashes and.. i want to activate my ps3 controller but i dont have ps3 console
Great video! I’m testing my controllers and console before selling them. I am an Xbox player and always have been so this was confusing.
I was trying to charge my controllers via wall outlets, brick, and cord but no lights were coming on at all. So maybe they had to be synced first, I have no idea. This is setup in such an annoying way.
Yeah I had to find out the hard way that it only charges through either pc or ps3 for my ps3 controllers
I have 2,3 what's meaning
Your controller is ID #5
Pls full meaning 👏
2+3=5
You gave a lot of unnecessary information.
I know. I hate it! I usually do well thought out or scripted narrations and this one I just started recording before I boxed these up and sold 'em on ebay. I wish I could redo it. I guess I could do voice over video cuts from the original. Maybe some day. Life got too busy!
Look this #ps3controller
This video is for toddlers
Good god why is everything so dirty? clean the controller at least
