Why does my meta quest 2 keep going black every 2 seconds and then goes back to normal. Everytime it does this my controlles make a sound. It keeps repeating this. How do i fix it?

Hi ​@yapmiman 🙂

Have you tried if the software update tool can fix that? Maybe something went wrong with your last update.

Or your proximity sensor is defective… even though I don’t know why the controllers would make a sound then.🤔

If the proximity sensor is the cause, you’ll need a repair service like Fix my Oculus - if you are in the US.

Ih you are located somewhere else, google for a vr headset in your country.

    If you feel confident in doing that. Also, you don’t even know, if the proximity sensor is the culprit.

    I would try the update tool or even a factory reset first before taking the Quest apart.😉

    This might help.
