Alright, here's the magic trick: Get a paperclip or a similar pointy object, press and hold the tiny reset button on the back of the PS3 controller for about 5 seconds. Plug it into the PS3 using a USB cable, wait for it to sync, and you should be good to go!

Honestly, just plug it into the PS3 with a USB cable. It usually resyncs itself automatically.

Just press the reset button on the back with a pin, then reconnect it via USB to the PS3. Easy peasy!

From personal experience, I found that pressing the reset button with a toothpick and then connecting the controller via USB worked like a charm!
