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.

PlayStation VR2: Eye tracking camera lens smudged/scratched. Can it be fixed?

Fri, 22 May 2026 00:58:45 -0700

Hi,

I went and smudged/messed up the eye tracking camera lens by trying to clean the surrounding dark blue plastic with asetone—and yes, in retrospect it was an idiot move, but I would like to try and fix it. Is there a way to clean the lens, or maybe replace it?

HTC Vive Focus 3: Rubber Nosepad Lightblocker for Face Cushion

Wed, 20 May 2026 14:13:31 -0700

Im looking to purchase just the detachable rubber light blocker on the face cushion of the Vive Focus 3. I have multiple headsets where this part has broken, but I do not want to buy an entirely new face cushion just to replace this small rubber part. No one online seems to sell this including iFixit so if anyone has a source for this part it would be SO helpful. Willing to buy in bulk.

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.
