Defective fan causing boot failure?
Yet again dealing with a grey screen after boot attempt. Q3 was working as expected. Plugged it in to charge overnight and when I tried to power it up today I saw the Meta logo and the green progres...

Complete cleaning did nothing to resolve the issue.
FireGod9922 Sorry, to hear that.
I know, your fan is running fine now, but maybe something broke while it does not??
Maybe a repair service as Maccyb123 mentioned, is the best you can do.
I wonder, if you have these unusual colour on one screw, because it's a refurbished unit?🤔
The blue thread locks are probably original from manufacturing, while the other one was put on later.
I had the same thought about the thread lock color. It was a refurb from Meta. I don’t trust their quality control given there was also a cable pinched when I first had to open the device in February for another boot issue. That was my post you linked to in another of your replies.
I’ve already ordered a fan and a replacement ribbon cable just in case it finally gave up. The fan worked, then it didn’t, then it did and it spins at power up and down. I think it was steve_40 who noted that it should come on when the loft is entered. I assume when it was spinning continuously with a. Grey screen that meant boot was getting far enough to trigger the fan.
If I can’t get it going with these parts I’ve decided I’ll send to Fix My Oculus. It’ll surely be cheaper than buying a used one.
I’ll report back when it’s running so there’s a conclusion for others.It was a refurb from Meta. .......
That was my post you linked to in another of your replies.
Yes, I replied in that thread, too..... that's why I knew it was refurbished😁
I hope, you get it repaired yourself....... if not, is Fix my Oculus a good decision.
