Meta Quest 2: Why does my meta quest show boot screen but then go to blank screen

So when I turn on my headset it shows a booting screen (the one with the meta logo) and then it spins around 8-12 times and then it goes to a grey screen. I’ve tried side-loading updates and everything in the menu that you get to with vol down and power. Nothings working.

Meta Quest 2: Power light turns on, but no audio or display

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:35:22 -0700

I have a Meta Quest 2 that suddenly stopped working during use. I looked it over, and there was a decent amount of sweat on the device which I suspect was the reason it died due to no other physical damage and not having been dropped, etc.

After wiping it down and drying it off as much as possible, I tried turning it on again by pressing the power button. The power light turns on, and after some time the front of the headset gets warm. However, nothing shows on the display, it remains black the entire time and no audio can be heard.

I have disassembled the device down to the midframe and didn't see anything concerning on the mainboard or any connectors. There was a bit of corrosion on some copper tape stuck on the backside of the display assembly on the top.

I'm wondering whether the problem is likely with the motherboard or the display assembly and how I could test it without another set of parts to verify. There are some relatively cheap display assemblies available on eBay but it would be nice to know for certain before buying anything.

Meta Quest 2: Why is my headset showing a cooling fan issue notification?

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:09:21 -0700

I followed the steps above, including rebooting and performing a factory reset, but I still encounter the notification:

"SYSTEM ALERT
The cooling fan on your device is not functioning properly. Your headset may become warm or behave abnormally.
Please try rebooting. If the issue persists, contact customer support: https://meta.com/help/support/"

I tested the device and the fan is still working, but the headset only lasts 20 minutes before turning off. I would appreciate any support, as I am considering repairing the mainboard, though I don't have experience with this product.

Meta Quest 2: Controller won't stop pairing

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 20:45:38 -0700

My left controller wont stop pairing and disconnecting after I took it apart to repair the stick drift. It no longer drifts. The light on it goes on and blinks then stops for a while then blinks again and the controller disconnects. I've tried new batteries.

Meta Quest 2: Replace a broken clasp on a motherboard

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 04:17:50 -0700

Two of the black plastic clasps on the motherboard are broken. (Proximity and one next to it).

Can these be replaced or the leads attached by another method, or does the motherboard need to be replaced?

Appreciate any reply.

Meta Quest 2: Oculus quest 2 not charging been plugged in for 24 hours

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 19:12:16 -0700

My unit has been plugged in for roughly 24 hours now. It alternates from a red solid light to a red flashing light. I've tried dozens of steps to force charge the unit. Everything from different plugs or charging cables. Cleaning the ports and trying to both soft and hard reset the unit. I am unable to turn the unit on even when plugged in and am at the stage that I would factory reset the unit if I could. Is there anything I can do to resolve the charging issue?
