Hi I had faced similar problem once after not using my controler for long time the battery drained and it failed even to charge again as controller becomes dead even fails to start,thus it will not be detected. So simple solution I tired.... which worked for me. Plug it to your PC install drivers for ps3 controller first. Plug it out after 5-10 secs and again plug it in repeat this until you see controller's light blinking, it will give a small charge just to turn on the controller and it will be able to detect by PC and will charge successfully . Certainly the battery has drained and should can be replaced but charging and regualar use it can go still 2-3 years easy. Leave a comment if it worked for you . Thanks .....
