Question

Meta quest 3 right controller not working.

My Right controller of meta quest 3 stopped working after I changed the batteries, The left one is ok with the new batteries but the right one doesn't work at all, no light, can't pair, just dead.

I haven't dropped it or anything just keep everything in it's case.

Can you help me please tried everything... there is no light no vibration when pairing .... nothing.

    Your controller died immediately after you changed the batteries? Wow. Truly shocking. A real technological enigma. Scientists may study this for decades.

    Look, when a device goes from 'working perfectly' to 'flatlined the moment I touched it,' that's usually its polite way of saying, 'Hey… buddy… the battery is upside‑down.'

    Pop that cover off and check whether the battery is doing a backflip instead of facing the contacts. If that fixes it, don’t worry - your secret is safe with the entire internet.
