SIXAXIS Controller problem...?

I recently got a PS3 and two SIXAXIS controllers. One of the controllers works perfectly fine, but the other one does not seem to want to work. My guess is that one of them (the one that came with the PS3) came pre-synchronazed, while the other needs to be somehow configured into the system... or is broken. Whenever I press the button to turn on the second controller, the four lights on top just start blinking on and off for an extended length of time and the controller does not respond...

Any advice would be appreciated.

    if you have the usb charge cable that came with the ps3 you need to hook the other controller up so that it finds the system.

    Connect your "broken" controller to your PS3 using the USB cable charger and press PS button. Then disconnect it when the PS3 recognized it.

    you need to hook the other one up to the ps3 using the included usb port. don't worry, you can take it out after but it needs to recognize the controller

    Just plug it into your PS3. Problem solved.
