MW2 Combat Controller for ps3, need help

[IgiTang]

I picked up the ps3 mad katz MW2 comabt controller and am having issues getting the gamepad to work when wireless.

When I connect the gamepad to my ps3 with the cable provided, no issues. The lights turn on and the usb adaptor lights up. When I disconnect the cable to try and activate wireless the gamepad just dies. I have left the gamepad plugged in thinking it needs to charge and still nada.

Does anyone have one of these gamepads, any thoughts on what im doing wrong(aside from buying it in the first place), or a site that can help me troubleshoot this issue?

I have looked quite a bit for a site with some help but no luck. But im not the saviest in finding help sites for things like this...

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like the internal battery is kaputz.

Ya... went back to best buy, they tested another one right there, same issue. We then tried 6 more, all of them toast. Their entire batch turned out to all have dead internal batteries. I got my money back. lol

Too bad, cool looking controller and felt great when wired...
