Just got home and turned on my ps3 for about ... 2 hours without playing a game on it. Was talking with a friend.. had my phone... a controller plugged into USB slots and then when i turned it on i was all the way to right on the XMB and sitting on my message box.... i can't move ANYWHERE!!

 

No button on the ps3 controller is responsive ... i was playing god of war 2 last night and i already took that out of the PS3 ... unplugged the cable and power cords out of the back of the system and tried both controllers i have. Nothing.

 

I have no idea what might be happening. This is perplexing me to no degree... Anyone.. HELP!!

Your PS3 does not get on anymore at all? even with the "button" on the console?

It will turn on .. but as soon as it comes to the XMB it rolls all the way to the right and sits there.

And as i said .. the only button that works is the PS button. The rest of both controllers are unresponsive.

I don't know if it will help but here's what I would do:

Closte the switch behing the PS3 for 30 sec and move it back on.

Then plug one of your controller in the PS3. Do not open a controller yet

Press on the power button of the PS3 and hold it down for 5sec until it make a beep sound

When asked for the controller press the PS button

And hope for the best =(

I had the exact problem, the way I fixed it was I turned the system right off and unplugged all USB's. I then turned it back on with no USB's connected and it worked fine. After that I reconnected all the USBs (keyboard) and that was it.

 

Works fine now. Try it and let me know if it works

well i have a similar problem going on now as far as the controller acting weird...for some reason whille playing Oblivion, my character tends to spin around on his own, almost seeming very possesive, not allowing me to pause the game or do anything...then it'll just fix itself...my guess would, probably all of the wireless devices i have in my room?...maybe over the air  wifi inflictions? who knows..i hope it's not  a major issue

The unresponsive controller thing seems to be a big issue that no talks about. It happens to me once and a while.  The reaons its not a big deal is becuase the controller fixes itself most of the time. However, its annoying when it does for like 20 seconds and your fighting a boss or something...
