    When contacting Meta make sure you use the serial number on the box, not the one on the headset.  

    If you want to talk to a human Meta Support person directly rather than an AI here's a link. 

    Go with the WhatsApp method first.

    Hi cheese7776535​ 🙂

    Have your son played games that makes him sweat a lot?  Gorilla tag or so?

    The black/blank screen can be caused by sweat which found its way into the headset. you can try if using a hairdryer(no heat) like shown in the video can fix that.

    If not  contact Meta support via email, chat or WhatsApp HERE to claim your warranty.

    You'll find the "box" serial number in Meta Account Centre here, in case you didn't keep the box 😉.
