Quest 3 Backlight Flickering When Charging Off with Original Charger - Persistent Bug Since v74

The latest Quest 3 system has a backlight flickering issue when charging with the original charger while the device is powered off. This issue was first reported on forums after the v74 system update. After investigation, it was found that first, the issue does not occur when using non-original chargers. Second, the flickering frequency decreases as the battery level increases: it flickers about every 30 seconds when the battery is around 20-40%, increases to about every minute when the battery is 60-70%, and most likely stops completely when the battery is above 90%.

 It is preliminarily judged that this issue may be a system-level bug where the charging protocol negotiation with the original charger accidentally triggers the screen backlight controller. The temporary solution provided by customer service is to charge the device in sleep mode by short-pressing the power button, which has been tested and indeed no longer causes the issue. They explained that the system has more stable backlight control in sleep mode.

 However, after my inquiries and searches across the internet, very few people have reported this issue. Is this a hardware batch difference problem? Secondly, I hope that official personnel will pay attention to this issue and fix this system problem as soon as possible.
