I have the "Black Screen of Death"

My question is does anyone think the black screen of death could be related to the discharege of the battery. I stopped using my oculus for about a month and left it not charging for that time when I turned it on it was super slow and when I updated it thats when it stopped showing things on the screen. The only things I could see was the boot logo/animation and boot menu if i held the button down, I since tried fixing it as a software issue to no avail and left it alone discharged again when I plugged it in again it blinked red and I believe its charging now. But now I cant see anything but the LCD lighting up and I feel like its due to the battery I had 0 issues before leaving it alone for so long.

Update at 8% I was able to see the charging animation while off I tried booting and saw the logo but cant see the setup screen*

I am on the setup screen because the r/oculusquest2 community and meta support told me to factory reset which kinda screwed me over cause now i cant enable USB debugging again as I cant see the screen

Update 2 I was able to get it connected to my phone and get it to cast its screen so im progressing though the setup screen

Hey Dylan, It's definitely possible that the black screen of death on your Oculus Quest 2 is related to the battery discharge. Here's why:

Lithium-ion batteries: The Quest 2 uses a Lithium-ion battery, which can degrade if left completely drained for extended periods. This can lead to reduced capacity or even complete failure.
Slow performance: Your experience of the Oculus being slow before the update aligns with a potential battery issue. A weak battery can cause performance issues in electronic devices.
Red blinking light: The red blinking light usually indicates a critical battery level that requires charging.

The good news is that you seem to be making progress! Here are some takeaways from your update:

Charging animation: Seeing the charging animation is a positive sign, indicating the battery is receiving power.
Boot logo: Seeing the boot logo suggests the headset can still go through the initial startup process.
Casting to phone: Being able to cast the screen to your phone is a great workaround to navigate the setup process despite the black screen.

Here are some suggestions moving forward:

Continue charging: Let the Quest 2 fully charge (usually indicated by a solid green light).
Complete setup through casting: Since you can cast the screen, use your phone to guide you through the remaining setup steps.
Contact Meta Support: If you are still under your warranty, contact Meta Support https://www.meta.com/help/support/ for possible replacement.
