My headset strap can't connect to the VR headset because the little plastic bar broke off and is there any parts I can buy to fix it?

Meta Quest 3: Screens not turning on

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 03:27:51 -0700

Yoo Ifixit folks!

I've got a quest 3 of which both the displays don't turn on.

If i spam the on button i sometimes get a white flash, nothing else.

Sound works, charging works fine, controllers give haptic feedback and sounds indicate i am passing by menu buttons. Only no display what so ever, not even backlight. I had it functioning and was able to see everything happening by streaming it to thw mobile app but I have factory reset it through the app and now I don't know where I am in the setup steps haha.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem.could be? Would it be worth opening it up and maybe check on cables? Or is mainboard possibly done for?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

Ps, no, I have no warranty on it

Greets,

Patrick

Meta Quest 3S: My Meta Quest 3S has a black screen after recommend fix of a sensor

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:10:17 -0700

(I am an owner of a Meta Quest 3S and the problem at hand is that the headset is stuck In a black screen but what happens is that there is still audio and the use of menú buttons still emits sound and the start up animation still reproduces and the boot menu is still accessible and visible but menús, power options, turn off & on pop ups are not visible as well as the cameras

The meta quest forum and the reddit community offered the idea to factory reset and to update using the side load update through the official meta quest web and the original problem of the menú just appearing and the controllers bring useless i reset it and the result was that the proximity error disappeared but the black screen is still there

Soy dueño de un casco Meta Quest 3S y el problema que ha ocurrido es que la pantalla del casco se queda en negro pero aún emite sonido se puede escuchar el abrir y cerrar de menús y se puede ver qué la pantalla sigue funcional ya que se pueden ver la animación de inicio y el menú de booteo es funcional se ve y funciona pero los menús, opciones de apagado y avisos de apagado no son visibles al igual que las cámaras

La comunidad de meta Quest en reddit y el foro oficial me han dicho de formatear el casco y utilizar la opción de actualizar a través de side load desde la página oficial de meta Quest una vez actualizado el error original de la pantalla de buscando posición en sala no fue un problema pero la pantalla en negro sigue siendo un problema constante

Meta Quest 3: How do I fix controller drift?

Meta Quest 3S: How do I fix meta quest 3s controller button?

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:28:00 -0700

I got some wd40 to help with a stick drift issue, but some of the wd40 got onto one of the controller buttons, and now it's not responding to my input. I'm still able to press the button, but it doesn't make the same sound compared to the rest of the buttons on my controllers when i press them. It's been quiet after i heard a crunching sound when i pressed it after the wd40 i put on the joysticks was able to dry.

What do i do? Am i able to fix it, or do i need a new controller all together?

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.
