Hi, I’ve been experiencing a issue with my quest 2 when I turn it on it shows a chip arrow pointing down with a green bar then boot looping and there is no light where the power button is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm actually having this exact same problem as of just now. To answer the questions you asked the other customer:

The device was doing the loop showing the Meta symbol and then the box with the arrow, but now it doesn't do anything when I try to boot it. It was at 99% battery life. I have it plugged in, but the charging light hasn't come on, which has never happened before.

I don't know if the device has been updated (I didn't manually do any updates).

The last time I used the device was last night and it worked without any issues.

Thank you in advance for your help!

 I also have this problem and I would like to know how to fix it that would be great.

Hi Firebird12712,

 

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We know it's no fun to not be able to use our devices to their full capacity so we would love to help getting this issue resolved for you. 

 

Is your device fully updated?
When was the last time you used your device? Have any changes been made since?

 

What you can try already is to restart your device.

  1. With your headset on and powered on, press and hold the power button on the right side of your headset until you see the Power off screen.
  2. Select Restart. Your headset will turn off and then turn back on.

 

If  the issue still persists and if you haven't already please perform a factory reset by following these steps:

  1. Turn off your headset.
  2. Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
  3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Factory Reset and press the power button.
  4. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

Just make sure that before you do this to turn on your Cloud backup by as performing a factory reset will remove any content or downloads from the device.

 

Hopefully this is able to help you but if not do not hesitate to reach out again.

I have tried all of your suggestions but I still will not turn on so if you could help me out a little bit more that would be great.

It was a typo I meant to say it still won’t turn on
