Hi!
i’ve got a customer with an USB Stick that works wonders on ps3, he has a 80gb Fat PS3.
the problem is that when he plugs in his cellphone charger anywhere on the house, the usb joystick registers random inputs.
The PCB is a chinese ps3 pad.
Any suggestions? is there any way to get the pcb working properly?
Thanks!
So the problem is when his phone charges, his USB stick goes wacko?
That should not happen by FCC guidelines
Are you sure the 2 devices are on 2 different circuit breakers? That what would be the only thing that could have a impact.
Also what brand joystick were talking about? Whats the make of the PCB inside?
That’s really weird; like turning on the faucet and your toilet flushes. :razzy:
this reminds me 3 years ago one of my coworkers’ computer monitor screen “danced” when the toilet next door got flushed.
It is possible electrically, but it is hard to reproduce the same problem elsewhere. As in I can’t just go to some home and do the same thing with just any cell phone, PS3 and joystick. An exact set of conditions need to exist for this to happen. I didn’t think wired controllers are effected by RF from the cell phone so I am thinking this is noise on the power lines.
Torta, its not that the PS3 and the Cell needs to be in different rooms, just different circuits; different outlets that is going to 2 different circuit breakers/ fuses in your circuit breaker/ fuse box. See if you can get a quality surge protector for your home entertainment system for your Television, PS3 and other entertaiment devices.
And I do not mean a $10 power strip, I mean a actual surge protector with a obviously market Protection rating. They will run you about $30 and up msrp. Not saying you have to spend $30 to $80 just that the device have to be worth that in the market ;).
Hopefully what this will do is clean out any line noise on the power lines.
You might want a 2nd smaller surge protector for the phone.
I also have to ask do you have Ethernet over electrical lines/ mains adapter where the home network uses the houses electrical wiring as the network connection
Here is an example of such a device for those who I have lost
