Question

Quest 3 refuses to boot and only shoots air.

I woke up and heard my quest 3 just shooting out air in like an off and on pattern every 2 or 3 seconds and I tried to put it on, unresponsive from the screen, I tried to hold the power button which actually worked except when I even clicked it down again the blowing immediately resumed with a sudden gray flash of the color that the screen makes to mimic black, then it would turn off the screen and continue blowing, when I plug it in with a charger that works with other devices the power port refuses to display a color or even a sound to show that its charging.

Thanks for atleast replying but i went ahead and factory reset my headset after trying a few things like the force boot or restarting it using the power button and I gave my headset about 30 minutes after it got the confirmation from my account and it still has the same problem, if I need to take it apart myself then tell me unless you have any other recommendations, thanks.
