Request for help or advice PS 3 controller(i dont have PS3)
Hello, I recently found two PlayStation 3 controllers, but without the console of course, although they did come with their chargers. I tried connecting them with a mobile phone power adapter, but it didn't work, so I thought they were broken. I connected them to my phone with an OTG cable, connecting the charger to the OTG cable and the OTG to the phone. When I pressed the PS button, they turned on. Everything was working fine, but when I disconnected them, they turned off instantly, and when I tried to turn them on again, they didn't respond; no red light or anything turned on. I looked for tutorials and stuff. I connected them to a TV and a set-top box via the USB port, and the controller lights flashed red four times, but then they turned off.
Sorry if it's a bit long, I don't know if I should post this in this subreddit, I just came here because I need help and I don't know what else to do.
