I've been using a ds3 controller on my PC for a few years. Yesterday it stopped responding while having the #1 light on non stop, so I reset it with the button on the back. And after the reset it can't even turn on, nothing I do gets any response. PC doesn't see it, connecting/clicking on doesn't turn the lights on, neither charging more or resetting it again does not do anything. I even got my ps3 out and connected it there, hoping that it would help somehow, but still no response.
Most of the online discussion points to battery issues, but like I said, it was on just fine before I reset it, so I doubt that's the issue.
Anything else I can try? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Get a new one or a different controller

If a light comes on, it has power. You try like, hold down ps button and unplug?

It was on before I reset it, it doesn't now. Yeah I tried that.

Some chip on the controllers board is probably fucked somewhere. Replace it with a $30 PowerA controller (Xbox layout) or get it repaired
