Tracking on meta quest 3S not working

This started happening a few days ago before my quest 3s

really couldn’t track anything. The screen would show a notification that the tracking wouldn’t work a few times while playing. But a few days later my tracking was all lost. If I only click something with my home menu it would only show up the notification that the tracking was lost. There’s a black screen too in the background if I turn on pass through and the screen would freeze sometimes. I’ve tried taking off my controller sleeves, unpairing then pairing my controllers, restarting it a few times and even factory resetting the headset.

Hi Equior2​ 🙂

Bring/send it back to where you bought it and get a working one.

Hi JRoman.VR​ 🙂

Do you play games or doing workouts  that makes you sweat a lot? 

This error often occurs when  sweat/moisture found its way into the headset.

You can try if using a hairdryer, as shown in the video, can fix your problem..... carefully, don't use heat.

 

If this doesn't work, look for a repair service like Fix my Oculus - if you are in the US, or google for a similar service in your country.

If you still have warranty, contact Meta support via email, chat or WhatsApp HERE
