From last 4-5 months I have not used my move controller but before that it working fine. Now 2 day ago when I connected it the sphere light is not on at all all other button are working fine. Please help me to get this correct.
Navin, try to use the reset button in the back with a pen or a paper clip. Also, you do want to check on the battery. Make sure that it is holding a charge. Use your multimeter to see if it has a charge. Check the ribbon cable from the light globe for any corrosion and make sure it is properly seated. Use this teardown to get to it. Hope this helps, good luck.
charge the control using your pc usb port for a few hours then plug it back into the ps3 console then it should be fine. remember it doesn’t light up until you start a ps move game!! its not lightning up because the battery’s have been 100% drained and take a good wile to kick start the battery pack again.
hi! were you able to fix it?
I haven’t used my move controller for a long time, a few days ago I decided to play a game the controller wouldn’t lit up and the buttons weren’t working. I put it on charge and left it for 2 days and it still isn’t working.
The reset button is a small button on the back of the controller. it is on the left lower side, just above the lower left screw. It looks like a small indent next to the label on the center back of the controller. Stick a paper clip in the button hole for about 10 seconds or until it resets.
I am having a similar issue. Haven’t played with Move Controllers for a few years. Lights were blinking steadily on the charging dock. But when it came time to connect to the PS3, the light at the bottom blinks rapidly, but stops after a few seconds and nothing. Tried resetting. Still nothing. Bought new batteries, installed them, charged them, same issue. Light will come on blinking rapidly for a few seconds on the bottom of the controller and nothing. Tried resetting, still nothing. PS3 Eye blue light is on. Set at wide angle. Any advice? It’s so frustrating!
Also looking for an answer to this. Didn’t use my controllers for a little bit because I moved houses and now the sphere lights will not turn on. Both controllers work and connect to the PS4 and function but the lights just won’t turn on. Tried everything suggested here too.
I can’t find a answer I have the same problem and people just say press the reset button with a pin or something and that doesn’t work even if it’s connected to your ps4 with a USB
