Hello! You sent me a broken link, but I still tried flashing Quest3 through your website (https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/quest/software_update/?view=prepare) and nothing helped. The problem still persists. Please suggest another solution.
Hello there zasonov !
Thank you so much for your patience and for trying the flashing process, we’re truly sorry about the broken link earlier, and we appreciate your persistence in working through it.
Since the gray screen issue is still occurring after a factory reset, we’d recommend performing a hard reboot using the steps below. This can help reinitialize the headset and may resolve the boot sequence glitch:
Hard Reboot the headsetHold down the power button and volume down button for 30 seconds until you hear the boot-up sound
If the boot-up sound is not heard:
Hold the power and volume (-) button down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight "Boot Device" and press the power button.
Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

Do I have a right to know why my Quest 3 is so unrepairable that you (in private chat) recommend buying a new one?!! Or is it standard Meta policy to ask you to buy everything from them again as soon as a speck of dust settles on an item? If I sell my Quest 3 to a friend in Germany or Israel, will you replace it?
You didn't say a word about the two download slots for Quest 3.
