press the PS button and you should see the red lights come on in the back and it should show you which port it is assigned to. When the controller charges the red light flashes and when its fully charged the light will stay on.

Not sure what else to tell you other than that. Does it work when you have it plugged in with the usb cable? Hopefully someone else will chime in here soon

Hey did you try rebooting the system?
Turn the system off. Press the button to turn it on and hold it for 5-7 seconds. Maybe that will work.

if you plugged the controller into your console and it doesn't sync up you might have found a dud.
