Something like that would be nice to know about if it exists. Maybe the gamepads charge circuitry is easy to replace and readily available or maybe there is a fuse or fusible resistor that is usually the problem with this. To restore battery function I plan to add a a Module like this to replace the circuitry in the controller that dose not work, pull power from 5v+ usb to the Modules power input then connect the Modules output to the battery in then the Modules ground to ground and that should work.īefore I do this I was wondering if there was a better way to go about this. Thought it was just the cables I had or something.but it must be that handshake.
Ps3 controller charged drivers#
It appears that generic AC-to-USB adapters won't work, possibly because the controller requires device drivers on the host or some kind of 'handshake' in order to charge. Compatiable with all Mini USB 5-Pin device like GoPro HERO HD, HERO 3, HERO 3+, HERO 4, Digital Cameras like Canon, Sat Navigation, Garmin GPS Receiver, Zoom Mic, Dash Cam etc and other devices with Mini USB ports. Kind of annoying as the Charger is 2A and charges stuff quicker than the PS3. Yes the PS3 controller can be charged from a USB port on a computer, and there are also specialised controller charging stations available. 2 Pieces Pack 10ft Charging Cable for PS Move/ PS3/ PS3 Slim Wireless Controllers.
If I externally charge the battery it works correctly till the battery runs out.Īs a temporary solution I removed the battery and even though its a little higher voltage than it should be I soldered a wire from the usb power to the battery terminal to directly power the controller. Interesting, I was always wondering why I couldnt charge my PS3 controllers off my 10 port anker charger but I could charge all other controllers like PS4 and Nvidia shield. My PlayStation 3 controller will not charge its internal battery anymore, the battery is fine and it works plugged in except if the vibration motors gets set off it will then draw too much current and the controller shuts off.
