Quest 3 Controller blinking SOS

[Charlesriddlenew2]

My quest 3 controller keeps blinking SOS, I tried re-pairing it, I've tried removing the battery over and over, I've tried restarting AND factory resetting my headset, I've tried everything that I've found and no "fix" I've ever seen works. I'm on the edge of just buying a new controller and completely wasting 80 dollars. It just keeps blinking SOS, and I cannot get it to stop. Quest support has been no help at all.

Hello Charlesriddlenew2,

We see you mentioned having some problems with your controller and that you have tried several things already to resolve this.

There are some other things you might not have tried yet:

- Clean the controller ports

- Swap out the old batteries for new ones

- Remove unsupported third-party accessories that may affect controller detection, power, or battery fit.
