My Meta Quest 3s keeps going black

Since the 22nd, my 3s keeps going black every time I turn it on. The meta os startup works but then after it just goes black and my controllers keep making beeping noises. On the 22nd, I kept having to find different solutions but next time I turn it on, it stops working again. As of today it just keeps going black OR saying finding position. I tried cleaning it, resetting it, rebooting it, and nothing works. Any ideas on how to fix it? (Note: I only got this back in April 2025, hasn't even been a year yet which is very disappointing.) As far as I can tell, I might have to go back to playing on my 2 if this persists.

  • Honestly, the 3 is biggest pile of garbage they put out. My old Rift S was better in comparison. Since the last update, my headset has been nothing but a laggy experience, even when just running in the PC link application itself - just pure stutters. Had it since late 2024, so I guess it's starting to go on the fritz. Off to the recyclers I guess.

      It is garbage, it has better stuff compared to 2 and rift but overhaul its issues are so glaring that it is just sad. With the other ones you just had to worry about sun damage being a possibility, here it's random I don't wanna work anymore I hate you moments

      At this point, that is all I can really do or play 2 which I don't want to. I'm gonna try to reach out to Meta or to the store I got this from and we can see if it can be replaced or fixed.
