Question

Please help me.

Please help me.

Meta arranged a replacement for my Quest 3, and I received a refurbished device. I followed the setup instructions you provided, but the controllers showed an error and I could not proceed with the setup.

I contacted support about this issue. The chat support team told me the controllers were defective, but the email support team told me the headset was defective, so I was not sure what the actual cause was.

Because of that, I sent back the headset and both controllers together. I clearly informed support that I shipped the headset and both controllers together, and I also provided the controller serial numbers and the shipping documents.

However, today I only received one controller back. Also, the Quest 3 headset I received is still in the exact same defective condition as before.

I have already tried a factory reset, and I also tried holding down the controller buttons to pair them again, but I still get the same error and cannot proceed with setup.

I have already followed all the troubleshooting steps, but the problem has not been fixed. I do not know what else I can do.

Could you please check this situation urgently and tell me what happened to my other controller and how this defective headset issue will be resolved?

That's not good.. Unfortunately there is nobody from Meta on this forum. Just users like you so we cannot help with this type of problem. 

You will probably need to talk to a human Meta Support person rather than an AI. Here are some options for you to contact someone who might help. Good luck. 🍀🤞
