In case the methods above did not work or you have some buttons not responding at all then you have to clean or change the ribbon board and the key rubbers.
Step 9-In case one of the L2/R2 buttons fell off, this is how to put them back on (sorry the pic is taken from the wrong angle). Step 8-Now put the shell back on starting from this side (without pressing the L2 and R2 buttons this time) and push down, put the screws back on, your controller should now work perfectly!. Still wont work but sure gets your anger out after trying to find a reset button that doesnt exist, replace batteries that work in everything EXCEPT the controller (brand new second package) has no USB attachment (doesnt take one). Step 7-Now take a look at the back, there is a small,thin piece of black foam, sony thought they can just put a piece of foam there to push the board against the ribbon cable (instead of adding an extra screw on the board),this also gets compressed over time, add a nice thick layer of foam ontop of it, this will push the board against the ribbon cable and ensure contact. The best fix it for the afterglow controller is place it on the floor and start stomping.

Step 6-now install the battery back on but i suggest adding a few layers of electrical tape on the top right leg of the battery so that the extra pressure wont damage the board. You may also be able to use your PS3 controller with the pc (wired). Step 5-If the steps above did not fix it then remove the board again, slowly and very carefully remove the ribbon cable, you will see a small piece of foam under there, this gets compressed over time which causes it to leave a small empty gap between the ribbon cable and the main board,buy a thin layer of none soft foam(or 2/3 layers of electrical tape) and glue a it on there, now put the board back on and tighten that screw(not too tight tho).
Step 4-You will come into these connectors,use alcohol to clean them and put the board back into place,put the battery back on and put the screw holding the board back on, before you put the shell back,connect your controller to your pc, go to start menu and type "controller" in the search bar, then click on "set up usb game controllers" you will see the ps3 controller there, click on it and click on properties, from there you can easily test the buttons one by one and see if they are responding well, if it works fine then great! skip to step 8 on how to close the controller. Step 3-Once you are inside there is only 1 screw that holds the board in place(which is incredibly stupid because that's the whole reason that causes this problem), anyway unscrew that also and lift up the board slowly. Step 2-When you are done, push the L2 and R2 buttons simultaneously and life up slowly from the other side and the shell should pop up easily. Step 1-Start by unscrewing these 5 screws. This guide was prepared using my phones camera and ms paint. Also, depending on version of Motion joy some have a bug which doesnt remember your options so make sure you uncheck 'Auto disconnect' and check 'Placing in system tray upon close'.Hello guys,here is an effective guide for fixing the random button press most people get from their ps3 controller when the cleaning with alcohol method does not work for you, before you begin i suggest being very delicate as breaking things inside the controller is too easy, i also don't take any responsibility in case you make it worse (which shouldn't happen anyway so don't worry). If you login at one point and the controller seems to be behaving weirdly then first make sure DS3 tool is running and go to the 'Options' tab, from there press the 'default' button and save changes. In PSO2 select the Xbox 360 controller in the options.Save settings, hit close and you should be setup from there. Now go to the 'Options' tab and check 'Auto run' 'Auto Check update' and 'Placing in system tray upon close'.From there select 'Xbox Controller Emulator' and open that up to make sure all values are default. Once you successfully install that go to the 'Profiles' tab.From there select your PS3 controller and press 'Load Driver'. In the DS3 window go to the 'Drive Manager' tab.
