This thread can either be used to ask for help with different electronics or advice on purchasing new electronics. Or it can be closed after I get my answer. I don't care.
My issue is with my PS3 controller. Over the past week or so I've had some issues with the buttons not working properly. Sometimes it's when I turn the system on and sometimes it's when I'm in the middle of a game. It's mostly the X and O buttons. Either they activate when I'm not pushing them (like when I play Madden it will change players) or when I push them they do nothing at all.
Just now I turned the system on with Madden already in the PS3 and when the system loaded it automatically started the game. Usually I have to select the game and push X to start it. Then in the opening video it wouldn't let me skip to the start screen. I hit the PS button to try to exit the game but when I pushed X to exit the game it wouldn't let me.
The controller has been dropped a few times and my dog has whacked it with her tail quite a bit. She's a big dog so maybe she broke something inside? It's just weird that sometimes it works perfectly and other times it screws up. I also tried to re calibrate it to see if that would do anything but no luck.
Should I just buy a new one?
