I haven't played with my meta quest 2 in months when I turned it on the left controller wasn't working so I changed the batteries and the controller still won't work so I tried alot of other methods which was holding the menu and y button to factory reset and then it didn't work so I tried to unpair and it pair it again and it still doesn't work any suggestions

Have you looked if there is any corrosion on the battery contacts? Might happen after months of not using them.

If your contacts in the battery compartment looks like the one from the thread below, clean them and see if that helps.

There's battery corrosion in my left controller. Is it safe to put vinegar in it?

If they are clean, but it still doesn't work, take out the battery for 15 min or so, this resets the controller.

If it still dooesn't work, 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.
