Unable to connect the controllers to my Meta Quest 3

I am unable to connect the controllers to my Meta Quest 3. I performed a factory reset on the headset, but the issue persists. I also attempted additional troubleshooting steps, including resetting the Quest 3 controllers using the correct button combinations:

Right controller: Hold the A button and press the Home (Meta logo) button five times. Left controller: Hold the X button and press the Menu button five times.

However, no orange or white light appeared, and the light did not change to blue during boot. Because the controllers are not pairing, the firmware update remains stuck at 0%, leaving me unable to complete the setup process.

No. You press and hold both buttons. None of this "pressing 5 times".
