Oculus Quest 2 not charging

Dragoneyr

I cannot submit a support ticket, it refers me back to store.facebook.com, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to describe my problem here.

My name is Patrick, I've bought my Oculus Quest 2 at that time around Halloween of 2021 and my headset refuses to charge. I've tried with the official out of the box charger + cable, after which I've tried with the official charger and my own cable, my own charger with official cable and my own charger + cable. None of the options worked. Unplugged my wall socket, outlet, redid, changed wall outlet with all 4 combinations as mentioned earlier, nothing, just a battery icon with no charge in it, with an electric discharge sign.

It refuses to boot up.

The hard reset and letting the device charge over night cleared up the error of only charging to 30%. Thanks for following up!

I would like to add to it I've been wanting to send my Quest 2 back, but I don't see an option to do that anywhere, so bonus kudos if that could also be answered on how to do that in case the replies don't work out - which I have a faint feeling that it won't.

Yup. That did the trick. I thank you very much! Let's see if everything is going to be hunky dorry now 🙂

I have a no charging headset. The chat box is not manned, no return address  ,no phone number, ne email address. 

What to do and no where to go.

Can I send it for repair please somewhere in UK.

9 months old unit only.

Easy to buy. A nightmare to get it looked at.

Twitter might help ?

Not even 5 months later and I am experiencing the same issues with this headset as I did with the last one. This must be a faulty production process

Apologies, it's about 8 months later, I was using the European way of date writing

Hia there. I have been helped by the support team. Your recommendations have been put through there as well, and the steps did not help - as they did back during the first time I received my new RMA. I have now received the same instructions, which is sending it back and get the RMA one again

 

I don't think I'll be lucky the next time this will happen, as the 2 year anniversary of my original headset is coming up - implying the end of my warranty. Thank you so much for giving the initial boost to reach the official support lines in the first place!
