Hi. I turned on my PS3 just a few minutes ago, and have discovered something really messed up. I thought it was a trick from someone else, but it doesn't seem so. On the XMB 'something' keeps going up and down in a selected icon on the bar. Right now both of my controllers are off, yet it is still doing it, so it can't be that. Could this be someone from another life?! What is going on!!! Is my PS3 busted? Please help! Thanks.

Never heard of this .. shut it down and turn it back on, if it keeps doing it call Sony ..

Sorry for being unclear. I can't merely post a picture, because it'd just look like a normal PS3 screen. All it is doing is going up and down. I am on settings right now, and it keeps going up and down through the options, stopping every once in awhile.

If you can't post a pic, tell us how the thing looks like. Square? Alien lifeform? Chicken? The saying * Yellow ring of death* ? Circle?

It's not hard to understand .. his XMB is moving through the settings itself, without one of his controllers on .. so going from game to dvd to settings, by itself.

Maybe his neighbour accidently signal to his ps3 with his tv controller?

Yes that would be funny when he suddenly sees his friend pushing his remote controller at the window

I used both of my controllers, and when I had one on, I turned on the other. If someone else was controlling it, my other controller would have gone to the third player, but it went to the second.

Just connected my controller to the PS3 and it is charging, though it is still doing this. Could it be going to a certain icon on the list and trying to spell something? It is trying to talk to me?! lol jk...But seriously.

I don't know. it has to be some kind of Bluetooth problem. PLus if the controller is really really low you could be getting a really bad signal, I dunno. Charge your controller fully (may take a while) turn off your PS3 fully(front and back)

turn it back on and pray

do you use a bluetooth headset? if so what model

i experienced this problem with an old headset of mine, it interfered with the signal of the controller because the frequencies were too close together which caused buttons to press them selves ad stuff. if not sorry idk

I have a Flamingo.

It isn't on, so I don't think that could be the cause of the problem.
