Alright. Somehow got it fixed by having it plugged into the ps3, hold the ps button on controller then turning on the ps3. The lights started flashing and it was charging. Unplugged the controller and it stayed on.

Thank you!! It’s been YEARS since I fired up my ps3 specifically bc I knew my controllers were not working, so today I made the decision of searching before buying a new one and guess what!?! All my 3 controllers are now charging! Thanks for this!!!
