Hey Facekick48! We are thrilled to hear you have become a part of our VR family, even if it's been a rocky start. We would love to help you power up your controllers. We would be happy to help you troubleshoot your controllers and provide any other information to help with this. We totally understand that the controllers working properly is a critical part of the VR experience. Let's go ahead and start out with some basic troubleshooting.
Please try the following steps:
- Remove any unsupported third-party accessories that may affect power, battery fit, or controller detection (such as rechargeable grips, controller covers, etc.).
- Switch the battery on the controller and check the LED status (blinking, solid, or no light at all).
If a blinking or solid light appears:
- Unpair and pair the controller again to the headset.
- If the pairing does not work, please let us know.
Also, if no light appears, send us a message to let us know, so we can look into further options. We look forward to hearing back from you!
I have no 3rd party items, as I said before, I used it once just to make sure it all worked, and the batteries are brand new, I'm not seeing any light at all
Okay, thank you for letting us know! Making sure every avenue is explored to get this power issue with your controllers taken care of is our top priority, so we'd like to get a bit more clarification on this situation. Please clarify the following points when you get a chance:
- Is your headset and Meta Quest mobile app full up to date with the latest software (to check for a headset update, please use these steps.)
- Is your headset fully charged when you are pairing? What color is the LED on the headset when it is plugged up?
- Are your controllers vibrating at all?
- How long has it been exactly since you've last played with these controllers?
Headset and app are updated
Headset was charged
Controllers have absolutely zero life
I bought the Headset early-mid december used it once around the 1st or 2nd week of January
