Thank you in advance

Current unit followed same flow except I’ve been able to get it partially working but not usable after multiple restores and software reinstalls.

it will boot but shows Finding Position in Room. Then without interaction it will show the menu bar at the bottoms, then flash back to Finding Position. Pass through works intermittently. When it does work the room has waves, jumps between zoomed to unzoomed views, sections of the room to sides flash in front of me, the view has fractures in it, there are what are best described as lightening bolts across the screen with combined views of what’s in front of me and to the sides. Menus, if I can get them to come up, slide in and out of view or change distances and positions, controller functionality is intermittent…the list goes on. I’m sometimes able to get it stable enough or click fast enough to get to some menu choices so have cleared and tried to reset the boundaries although redraw may not have completed. No experimental features are on so “lie down” is not enabled but I’ve been able to reset the experimental features (none were enabled)

No external damage to any of the cameras. The device has never been dropped. If i try long enough to work through menus the top front gets very warm/hot which I think is where the heat sink is located.

Is this all due to a failed tracking sensor? Bad mb? Both?

The meta quest forum and the reddit community offered the idea to factory reset and to update using the side load update through the official meta quest web and the original problem of the menú just appearing and the controllers bring useless i reset it and the result was that the proximity error disappeared but the black screen is still there

Soy dueño de un casco Meta Quest 3S y el problema que ha ocurrido es que la pantalla del casco se queda en negro pero aún emite sonido se puede escuchar el abrir y cerrar de menús y se puede ver qué la pantalla sigue funcional ya que se pueden ver la animación de inicio y el menú de booteo es funcional se ve y funciona pero los menús, opciones de apagado y avisos de apagado no son visibles al igual que las cámaras

La comunidad de meta Quest en reddit y el foro oficial me han dicho de formatear el casco y utilizar la opción de actualizar a través de side load desde la página oficial de meta Quest una vez actualizado el error original de la pantalla de buscando posición en sala no fue un problema pero la pantalla en negro sigue siendo un problema constante

When I plug it into the provided USB-C charger, it connects and disconnects intermittently. Initially, it struggled to maintain a stable connection for about an hour before it finally began charging. After my next use, the battery drained completely, and now it won’t charge at all. Occasionally, it briefly makes contact, but it immediately disconnects again.

It's been 40 minutes and it isn't charging. I've tried multiple adapters, cables and outlets.

I'm in Argentina, and Meta Support say they can't send replacements.

Any idea how I could go about fixing it?

Thank you!

Here's an image of the USB-C port.

I got some wd40 to help with a stick drift issue, but some of the wd40 got onto one of the controller buttons, and now it's not responding to my input. I'm still able to press the button, but it doesn't make the same sound compared to the rest of the buttons on my controllers when i press them. It's been quiet after i heard a crunching sound when i pressed it after the wd40 i put on the joysticks was able to dry.

What do i do? Am i able to fix it, or do i need a new controller all together?

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.

Update at 8% I was able to see the charging animation while off I tried booting and saw the logo but cant see the setup screen*

• I am on the setup screen because the r/oculusquest2 community and meta support told me to factory reset which kinda screwed me over cause now i cant enable USB debugging again as I cant see the screen

Update 2 I was able to get it connected to my phone and get it to cast its screen so im progressing though the setup screen
