Question

quest 2 right controller wont turn on or pair

Hello!   i have an issue with my quest 2 controller where the light blinks 3 times when insterting a battery but after that it does not turn on or react to any buttons. 

Ive tried changing the battery, unpairing but was unable to pair after that, updating and pairing trough the meta app.

does anybody know any fixes for this  or do i have to buy a new controller?

Hi kemmanee​ 🙂

You can try this:

Remove the battery and leave it out for1 min or so. This will reset the controller.

Then reinsert the battery while holding down the Meta/Oculus and X buttons.

I heard somewhere to pair the controller that you have issues with first.

I'm not sure, if this is relevant and true.... I just let you know🙃

Good luck🤞

hey! thank you for the reply but  this sadly did not work. when i held down the meta and X button when inserting the battery  the controller didn't even flash.
