Oculus Quest 2 - Right controller not working after a battery change?

I_SHOT_A_PIG
Honored Guest

To be more specific, I changed the battery on my controllers because they were really low. Now the problem is the left controller worked perfectly as expected, 100%. My right controller on the other hand does not turn on at all. I tested the battery from the left controller (new one) and nothing so I don't think it was the battery. I put back the old batteries (from both left and right) to test it and it worked. I have tried 5 different (same brand) new batteries.

 

Extra info - the old batteries were a brand called powercell and the new batteries are from duracell.

New batteries - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duracell-Coppertop-AA-Battery-Long-Lasting-Double-A-Batteries-24-Pack/177...

 

It's really tragic now because my battery finally died so I really have no way to play now.

-How long has the issue been going on?

 

-Is their any corrosion in the battery terminal?

 

-Has the controller been dropped?

i had the same issue and them, one of my controllers died and it wont turn back on even if I put new batteries into it, I tried to factory reset my headset but now I'm stuck on the start because I need two controllers to pass that part, I tried different ways to fix my controller but it still wont turn on and my headset is stuck.
