PS3 controller turns off if I unplug it

Hello,

Can I unplug my PS3 controller? It shuts down immediately, I can only play with the cable, and I tried turning on the console with the controller but that doesn't work either when it's unplugged. I don't know how to get the controller recognized.
Configuration: Windows Vista / Safari 533.4

    Hello,

    Normally, connecting it via USB and pressing the PS button is enough to have it recognized later via Bluetooth.
    Does this happen with any controller or just one?

      I did it 15 times, it doesn't work, it still turns off when I unplug the cable.

    It seems like a battery problem, do you charge them enough before disconnecting them from the USB?

    No, I don’t think mine does that either, and it does the same with my mic and my keyboard; I think it’s the Bluetooth.

    Yeah well I'm fed up too, I hope I'll find a solution. If I do, I'll let you know, but it's not looking good.

    I found it, I plugged in my microphone and my controller at the same time, it reactivated. I hope this helps you.
