If it's a battery issue, the new one will have the same problem, as the batteries are the same age. They probably sold it because they didn't want to change the batteries.

18500 can be used as replacements. Just keep the original plug attachment, when you detach it from the original battery cell.

But at least they could have told that. This way they're fooling customers.

Unfortunately, it's very hard for me to change the battery.

I'm guessing it's something wrong with the xregistry. I think that file governs bluetooth connections. though, I don't know that for 100%.

But I only have problems with these controllers, not with my DualShock 3 and PS Move Motion controller. Also, I had this problem on my previous PS3 which had another HDD.

my suggestion is to go into the recovery menu, then select the option to go through initial setup again, don't sync any other controllers, then try to sync the move controllers.

well, the xregistry is on the hdd with slims. it's either that or something is wrong with those move controllers.

Well, I think I may have downloaded xregistry from one HDD and uploaded it to another. Also, could you lend me a hand here?

Which setting is that? I have a PS Move Charging Station and when I put the controller, the red LED doesn't constantly blink unlike the PS Move Motion controllers' so does that mean it's really the battery that's screwed up?

could be the battery. it's restore factory defaults. it will recreate the xregistry, but you'll have to go through initial setup again as if the system was new. it won't delete stuff on your hdd.

So, will it reset the settings? If so, I already did it to try to fix another issue I was having and it didn't fix it. What if I simply delete the xregistry file using IRISMAN?

I'm not sure. even if you format the drive, the xregistry still remains, unless it's done on a computer. the system just writes over the previous xregistry with new information.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
