Meta Quest 3S Tracking and camrea not working?

Hey guys, so I've had my headset since January 2nd, 2026, and I loved playing on it, right?

Well... around early March, it started acting weird. Then in April... my headset's screen would randomly go black, my tracking would get messed up, and it's been happening on and off ever since. I couldn't see anything in the room, even though I have a well-lit room. It usually only lasts for a few seconds, but it keeps happening. I think the cameras might be loose or something.

I've tried getting it to work a few times, and here are the details:

So literally yesterday, I factory reset it. Then I found this weird fix where apparently, if I cover all of the cameras and make it completely dark, it starts working. Sooooo I tried it... AND IT KINDA WORKED! It worked fine, and the issue stopped. Then I covered the cameras again, and it happened again. So I tried covering only the left camera... AND IT WORKED! But I had to keep covering the left camera, or the issue would come back.

So I finished setting it up and decided to test something. I started uncovering different cameras to see which ones I had to cover and which ones I didn't. Then I opened the Camera Tracking view (Front), uncovered all of the cameras... AND IT SUDDENLY WORKED AGAIN!

So I started playing Rec Room / Vanilla Paintball for a bit, did some other stuff, then turned the headset off. When I turned it back on... IT DIDN'T WORK. I tried the dark trick again, AND IT DIDN'T WORK.

So... is there a fix for this?
