I'm so glad to here that I am not the only one having this issue !
I received yesterday a replacement for my cable (INIU) because I thought that this was the problem as the charging cable from the quest 3 where not having the issue. But the problem is still there. So, it is not the cable.
Mister or misses from meta quest support, I don't think that their is nothing to do with the Meta quest link software on the pc. Connecting and disconnecting is happening even if no plugged on the PC.I can send you a link of a video I sent to INUI showing the problem if you want. Please help. It's been 2 weeks I can't use my Quest 3.

Just "scanned" the forum, it really seems to be related to a software update because it happened around 2 weeks ago for multiple people :

I shelved my quest 3 for a year and when I came back same thing. It updated, now when I use Link sometimes it works fine for an hour, but always starts shutting off display then turning it back on. I can hear audio while this happens. Now it does it without it plugged in and on standalone mode. Factory reset fixed it for a few hours until it patched to the new UI again, now it's stuck in loop.

Doesn't seems to be the same issue. But, when I found a solution with the support, I'll keep you posted here.

Hi there,
So, after chating with the Meta support teams, they exchange my Quest 3 (with a refurbished).I was not convinced but I have tested it this last week and now it is working perfectly.
So, it may be hard to believe but it seems to be a hardware failure.
- DrMacabre68Protege
what firmware does the refurbished came with ? i can't believe we all having hardware failure after the update
- NephusiusExplorer
IT cames with 74.0 that was immediately updated 78.1031
