PS3 Controller question

[Mark TKO]

Ok so at the weekend I spilt about half a glass of wine (if that) over the PS3 controller - it now doesn't switch on at all. Can't imagine that would cause it to short but it seems that way ?? Anyone any ideas if this can be fixed or should I just buy a new one ?

Another thing - the ps3 controllers only seem to charge up when the PS3 is switched fully on. I am damn sure that it used to charge when the PS3 was on standby Can anyone confirm this please. Its maybe me just going bad - its not a problem charging when on its just that i am sure it used to do it on standby

cheers

My PS3 has been sitting there unused for about 2 months now, the only ones that use it are my little bros. when they come over.
I rarely have time to sit and and play a FIFA game.

Alright they bud.I wish i got to you sooner!!!Soz to hear about yeah ps3 controller getting wet.What a waste of good wine my friendha.Have you give the controller enough time to dry out?If i were in your position i would place the controller face down for a while so that the excess wine drips out of it.If that does'nt work then try drying it out with a hair dyer.If that fails then im afraid that your ps3 controller is dead mate.For the case of charging your controller while it's plugged into the ps3 you'll have to have it switched on i think
