PS3 controller sync

We recently got new controllers for our playstation and we tryed syncing them to the system but no matter what we did they wouldn't work

I tryed hitting the reset button in the back of the controllers but it don't help.

If you have any information that would help me please share it. I would be in your debt.
 
They are wireless controllers correct? Controllers that aren't wireless need the USB cable connected first before they can be synched.

Disconnect all the controllers (USB cables too). Then the first controller that you use to power on the PS3 would be considered controller 1.

Once that first controller is synched, go ahead and push the PS button on the second controller to mark that one as controller 2 (connect the USB cable if it isn't wireless).

Repeat for the remaining controllers you want to sync with your system.

The controllers are wireless when I tryed what you said all it did was blink. I heard there wa a certain USB cord you had to have but I'm not sure. Do you have any other ideas?

You need any mini-usb to usb cable. If the controller only blinks it needs to be connected to the system directly in order to be recognized. If all else fails try holding the power button for about 10 seconds while the console is off until it beeps twice. Then connect each controller that needs to be synced with a mini usb cable after doing that.
