Problems w/ PS3 BD remote control

[JayAuritt]

Anyone having problems keeping their BD remote control connected to their PS3? I've had the remote about 2 weeks and have had to re-configure the PS3 3 different times to accept the signals from the remote, which is getting pretty aggravating. Anyone have this problem, or does anyone know what the cause could be?

I have the same remote and i've had no problems. Since you've had it only 2 weeks exchange it for another one to see if its a bad remote.

Yep, zero problems here too. I would also suggest returning it for a replacement.

No problems here...

No probs here, in fact I would say it's a great remote, well worth the $

Works good for me.

my ps3 bd remote was not working at all (ensured fresh batteries) and controllers only worked while plugged in. i also tried re-pairing, but that did not help, either. i've had my ps3 and bd remote for about two years.

here is what i did to fix the problem:

1. put the ps3 on standby either via the button on the front or thru the interface via the controller (while plugged in)
2. switched the ps3 off from the back
3. unplugged all cables (HDMI, power and USB cable for controller)
4. left the house and came back a few hours later
5. sprayed compressed air through all the vents on the ps3 and waited until all moisture from the compressed air dried
6. plugged the power and HDMI cable in
7. turned on the ps3

the bd remote began working as expected.

i then charged my controllers and confirmed that both worked after unplugging the cables.

i think the key was shutting down, unplugging and waiting a while before starting up. i sprayed the compressed air for safe measure (and my ps3 was pretty dusty.)
