    1. Power off the PS3 via main switch (Back)

    2. Plug the controller into USB (Front)

    3. Switch the main switch back on (Back)

    4. Tap the standby button to turn on PS3 (Front)

    5. Log in to your account if you need to

    Try to connect without using the USB cable - just a suggestion, probably won't work but try it anyway.
