Just recently I am having huge problems with my ps button, when I press the ps button, the menu comes up to turn of system, controller, ect. But when I get to this menu, I become stuck and have to manually shut down the system on the ps3 it self?????

I cannot hit circle to go back or hit x to shut down the system, all I can do is scroll up and down, any solutions out there????

I think you can get out of the menu if you press the PS button one more time

ive had problems with mine. froze up and would only work when plugged in.reset the controller and reset the system(holding the power button for like 5 seconds i think.) re-assigned the controller and works fine. hitting the power button on ps3 restores default settings-no real lose of data. look in manual to be sure...

i just read in another topic that there is a small pin like hole behind the trigger if you stick a pin in there for a few seconds it resets the actual controller OS so maybe try that it worked for the guy that was having batter problems and such with his controller not working right worth a shot

no i forgot, but I fully charged both of them and things are going ok. It just seems like the ps menu is alittle slow when quitting or accessing the resigning of controllers.

I know it will come back, and my controllers had 2 bars when this was happening!!!!
