How can I charge my PS3 controller without the console? Plug your controller into a computer’s USB port and turn it on. While you can’t charge a PS3 controller on a computer, your controller will still light up if you press its power button while it is attached to a computer. If the controller doesn’t light up, the problem is with the cable.
