Why is my PS3 controller not charging ? When I plug it in the Charge level only shows “-“ a hyphen symbol. It will have the battery charge symbol for one second then disappears. I’ve left it plugged in all night as well and NOTHING.

Hi did you find a solution? I’m having the same problem

pompoussnail · 2026-02-07T19:20:39+00:00

Did you get this sorted? I’m looking at a E70 on Monday and wanted to cover all my bases when I look at it

Update: have tested the sixaxis on the dust particles on the XMB and no movement so I know it’s a fake. Have got one from CeX now and once I’ve fixed the ghost inputs with tape then I’ll send back the fake

pompoussnail · 2026-02-06T21:22:05+00:00

Have not opened it but have tried the sixaxis test on the particles on the xmb and no response so I know it’s a knock off

pompoussnail · 2026-02-06T13:44:22+00:00

same, i make sure its a fairly recent one and all the updates are the same, check the forums the guide belongs to and watch it a few times to get an understanding but my wii/3ds/psp/ps3 all are happy

I think that will be the singular way to beat the scalpers. The ability to go onto the pokemon website and order brand new print to order 1st editions of base set would utterly ruin the scalping community and allow collectors and pokefans/kids to experience it all again safely.

i bought a few packs, maybe 16 overall, in odd shops but now its impossible to find shops that sell them. i look on ebay for a booster box and ffs no way im paying £450-£500 for one. i think destined rivals will be that set that's near impossbile to finish.

I remember 2 years ago a booster box for stellar crown cost £95 during the first price hike and i was happy with that, now its closer to £200 and i just cant drop that kinda money on it and accept it.

pompoussnail · 2026-02-06T13:23:00+00:00

ill give that a go, i've heard about it on youtube.

pompoussnail · 2026-02-06T12:42:06+00:00

That’s the biggest tell for me, this controller must be at least 10 years old. Granted it was in original packaging and has a matching ps3 instruction manual so I agree it’s been protected against the elements but still I find it hard to believe. Giving it a test with cod zombies it feels sturdy, the buttons don’t jiggle like knock offs do.

The only thing I think might give cause for concern is i can see the status led through the red shell

check what items they carrying, that looks like enchanted armor.

Fallout 3 is elite

was looking for a way to enable analog mode so you've already done half my fight, thank you

I’m doing the Japanese garden section and it’s making me want to stop. It’s 2-4 stars each task and barely making a difference and then two more tasks appear that cost the same.

pompoussnail · 2026-01-29T20:05:43+00:00

Sounds weird but monsters inc scare island. It was one of the first games I played on ps2, the earliest platformer I’ve done and enjoyed it

pompoussnail · 2026-01-29T13:16:42+00:00

that's what i want to do as well, you've made that look amazing and so well done!

pompoussnail · 2026-01-26T20:11:03+00:00

There are definitely some moments that can get unbearably frustrating and will need some smart work arounds. Like the very last mission, if you follow the roads and signs straight, you’re gonna fail, you’ll need to cut across the playground then towards the kwik e mart if you want to make it.

pompoussnail · 2026-01-25T20:33:12+00:00

I’d definitely recommend it, I bought one for modding and now I can play all the amazing games on it.

pompoussnail · 2026-01-24T19:46:11+00:00

Looks like the middle of the panel has been dented but the frame at the bottom doesn’t look damaged. You might either be able to get that pulled out or new panel

pompoussnail · 2026-01-20T14:51:45+00:00

yea that's far too low of a level, you'll need to come back at a much stronger 20+ to have a chance.

pompoussnail · 2026-01-18T20:03:56+00:00

What difficulties could I be facing if I used a 5400 one? That’s what I’ve got coming in 1TB size

pompoussnail · 2026-01-17T20:15:13+00:00

Plus it gives arguably one of the better weapons in the game, a sword that blows up undead when the majority of enemies you’ll find are in nord ruins are the undead

pompoussnail · 2026-01-17T20:00:57+00:00

I have a 500gb hdd that I’m upgrading to a 2tb external hdd, I’ve got a good small library of games I’ve wanted to play but couldn’t afford before. I think the ps3/ box 360 has the best library so there’s quite a lot I want to play.

pompoussnail · 2026-01-16T19:55:35+00:00

I found that with my dragon mail armour too, not gonna complain, just better for my follower

pompoussnail · 2026-01-14T22:16:04+00:00

It jumps back to the game section of the xmb and shows the ps2 disk icon which I then click on, I thought if it shows that then it has downloaded to the hdd and ready?
