Hi

I bought a new console, unpacked it yeasterday and i'am having really tough time with it. The problem is Sixaxis DualSHock Ps3 controller.

When i pair it with the console via USB it starts working, wheni unplug it - the 4 light starts sparking on the controller and it is not working.

I restored the defult settings
I restored the PS3 system

And still the controller is not pairing with the console


AND another question
When i leave the controller connected to the console when powering off the console, the Console Stays On (green light blinking on the console) and i cannot do anything with the console - i cannot start it up again, nor turn it off totally (red light ON). Console can be frozen like this for number of hours until i do a hard reset to it (pressing 10s of the power button on console)
Any idea what might be causing that?
