PS3 controller won't hold a charge?

Another *dur hur* moment solved by fortuitous happenstance!

I would be laughing at you except this sort of thing happens to me all the damn time, and I've no desire to be that obvious a hypocrite : )

Well, like I said my PS3 is basically just a really expensive Netflix player right now.

I did charge my other controller via my computer a few times)

The other thing about the PS3 controller is that you have to plug it to a "smart" charger like your computer, the PS3, or the cable box. You can't just plug it into a wall charger.
