What to do if the Meta Quest 3 won't turn on ?
If your Meta Quest 3 won’t turn on, don’t worry! Several simple solutions can help you resolve this issue. Here are some steps to follow to try to power your headset back on.
1. Check the battery level
The first thing to check is the battery level. If the battery is completely drained, plug your headset into a power source and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
2. Force a restart
If your headset is still unresponsive, try forcing a restart :
- Press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds.
- Release the button and wait a few seconds to see if the device turns back on.
3. Check the power supply
If your headset still won’t turn on, make sure the charging cable and adapter are working properly. Test them with another device to ensure there’s no issue with the power supply.
4. Try a different charging port
It’s also possible that the charging port on your headset is dirty or damaged. Try gently cleaning it with a dry cotton swab and test the headset with a different compatible cable or charger.
5. Perform a hard reset
- Turn off the headset completely.
- Press and hold both the power button and the volume down button simultaneously for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Wait for the startup logo to appear before releasing the buttons.
6. Contact tech support
If none of these solutions work, it’s time to contact Meta Support for assistance. They can guide you through troubleshooting or arrange for a repair if necessary.
