Meta Quest 3S: not turning on after replacment of usb c port

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 08:49:18 -0700

Hello,

I'm looking for some advice regarding a Meta Quest 3s repair issue.

My headset was fully functional before the repair. I replaced the left speaker bracket/assembly and also repaired a damaged USB-C port after fall damage. Since completing the repair, the headset will no longer power on or charge.

I have already tried:

Multiple known-good USB-C cables and chargers
Long presses of the power button (30+ seconds)
Various button combinations involving the power button
Testing with another known-good battery
Checking the power button itself and its connection

The headset remains completely unresponsive:

No charging indicator
No LED activity
No display activity
No vibration or signs of life

At this point, the only thing I have left to do is start checking voltages and tracing power rails on the board.

Since the headset was working before the repair, I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on what could have happened during the USB-C port replacement or speaker bracket replacement.

Are there any common failure points, fuses, protection circuits, damaged traces, disconnected flex cables, or components near the USB-C port that I should check first?

Additionally, I have carefully inspected all internal connections and flex cables multiple times. I found no signs of physical damage, torn cables, bent pins, improperly seated connectors, burn marks, corrosion, or damaged components. All connectors appear to be fully inserted and locked in place.

Visually, the motherboard and surrounding components look completely normal, with no obvious signs of shorts, overheating, or accidental damage during the repair process.

Any additional troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I start probing power rails.

Thank you.

Meta Quest 2: Why does my meta quest show boot screen but then go to blank screen

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:05:12 -0700

So when I turn on my headset it shows a booting screen (the one with the meta logo) and then it spins around 8-12 times and then it goes to a grey screen. I’ve tried side-loading updates and everything in the menu that you get to with vol down and power. Nothings working.

Meta Quest 2: Power light turns on, but no audio or display

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:35:22 -0700

I have a Meta Quest 2 that suddenly stopped working during use. I looked it over, and there was a decent amount of sweat on the device which I suspect was the reason it died due to no other physical damage and not having been dropped, etc.

After wiping it down and drying it off as much as possible, I tried turning it on again by pressing the power button. The power light turns on, and after some time the front of the headset gets warm. However, nothing shows on the display, it remains black the entire time and no audio can be heard.

I have disassembled the device down to the midframe and didn't see anything concerning on the mainboard or any connectors. There was a bit of corrosion on some copper tape stuck on the backside of the display assembly on the top.

I'm wondering whether the problem is likely with the motherboard or the display assembly and how I could test it without another set of parts to verify. There are some relatively cheap display assemblies available on eBay but it would be nice to know for certain before buying anything.

Meta Quest 2: Why is my headset showing a cooling fan issue notification?

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:09:21 -0700

I followed the steps above, including rebooting and performing a factory reset, but I still encounter the notification:

"SYSTEM ALERT
The cooling fan on your device is not functioning properly. Your headset may become warm or behave abnormally.
Please try rebooting. If the issue persists, contact customer support: https://meta.com/help/support/"

I tested the device and the fan is still working, but the headset only lasts 20 minutes before turning off. I would appreciate any support, as I am considering repairing the mainboard, though I don't have experience with this product.
