Hello, my left quest 2 controller has tracking problems where if I remove it from my vision, it loses tracking and gets disconnected. I tried showing it on my vision and moving it upwards and then leftwards and then behind me and all instances it disconnects when I remove it from my vision and only connects when I get it into my vision again.

I have tried:
- removing the batteries from the controller, waiting for a few minutes (sometimes even holding buttons with no batteries so it drains better), then putting it back in.

- unpairing it and pairing it

- ensured that my headset OS is updated to the latest version

can anyone help me if this is a software or a hardware problem,

Hi hank.ibanez123​ 

can anyone help me if this is a software or a hardware problem

It's most likely a hardware problem. Maybe the LED ribbon cable inside the tracking ring is damaged.

This can be replaced. Look for a repair service like Fix my Oculus - if you are in the US - or google for a vr headset repair service in your country.

If you feel confident in doing it yourself, you can buy the ribbon cable on ebay or similar pages.

There are videos on youtube how to disamble the controller.
