PS3 Controller stopped working via bluetooth after sleep

I was playing with my PS3 gamepad yesterday, and I put my computer to sleep with the controller connected via USB. When I resumed the computer today, it doesn't seem to connect anymore.

I haven't updated since then, and I've tried some things. I've power cycled my computer several times, I've unpaired the controller and tried to pair it again (unsuccessfully, it doesn't want to pair anymore.), I've tried reseting the controller with a needle...

It seems like the computer recognizes the controller (blueman shows it and it shows as "connected" when the controller it's looking for a device, but the controller doesn't do anything and it just keeps looking)

The controller works perfectly via USB, so I don't think that it's a hardware issue that appeared this night. I believe that this happened me once some time ago, but I forgot how did I fix it.

I would like to avoid using xboxdrv as a final solution.
