I left on a business trip over the weekend and let my brother borrow it. When I came home it was dead. So I thought... No big deal right.

Well when I tried to charge it... it wouldn't charge.

Its been on the charger for the last 3-4 hours and when I took it off it wouldn't turn on AT ALL

When its on the charger it will blink for a few seconds and then it will stop.. and then it will start again.

Anyone know what is going on?

There is a tiny hole on the back of the controller, under the red light/numbers. Put a needle in the hole to activate button which resets the controller, should work then.

I suggest calling Sony customer help, I heard they will send a free controller.

Try resyncing with the PS3. Turn on the ps3 and use the usb cable on the PS3 connected to the dualshock3.

Press and hold the home button with the dualshock connected via usb to the PS3.

Take of the dualshock with the ps3 on.

If it won't charge up, then how is resetting it going to make it work?

What a convincing argument.

I just pressed the little button on the back we'll see.

But if it doesn't. You said Sony will ship another one?

I don't know about that. I've never heard of anyone being able to just call Sony up and then they send you a free controller, but I guess you can call and see what they say if your controller continues to not work.
