Black screen Rift S right out of the box

As stated in the title, I've just purchased a Rift S, but whenever I try to open a VR game, the application screen on the monitor is black, and so is the screen on the headset.

Have tried a barrage of things suggested on the internet including updating drivers, reinstalling software, unplug replug, restart, etc. - I've got nothing so far.
White light shows on the headset and everything is shown to be connected via the Oculus app.

Do I have a faulty model or is there something that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Theo

Well to be honest I don't know, because it's the next day and it's doing the same issue! Arrrg. I haven't changed a thing!

Probably best to start off by going to the Oculus Rift S troubleshooting guide here;

If you cannot sort this out, contact Oculus Support.  Good luck mate.
