I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Oculus Quest 1 not charging. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
# ***Inspect the Charging Port***: Make sure there's no debris or dust in the charging port. Use a can of compressed air or a soft brush to clean it carefully.
# ***Try a Different Power Source***: Sometimes, the issue might be with the power source. Try using a different USB wall adapter or connecting it to a computer to see if it charges.
# ***Reboot***: If your Oculus Quest is not responsive at all, try performing a hard reset. Hold down the power button for about 30 seconds until the Oculus logo appears. This can help with unresponsive devices.
# ***Update Firmware***: Make sure your Oculus Quest's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, a software update can fix charging issues.
# ***Different USB Cable***: Ensure you are using a high-quality USB cable that supports data transfer and charging. Not all USB cables are equal; some are only for data transfer and won't charge your device.
# ***Check for Physical Damage***: Inspect the cable, charging port, and your Oculus Quest for any physical damage. If you find any, that might be the cause of the issue.
# ***Factory Reset***: If none of the above steps work, you can try a factory reset as a last resort. Keep in mind that this will erase all the data on your device, so make sure to back up your data if possible. To factory reset, go to Settings > Device > Reset and follow the on-screen instructions.
# ***Contact Oculus Support***: If the issue persists after trying these steps, it might be a hardware problem. Contact Oculus Support for further assistance. They can help you with warranty information and repair options.
Keep in mind that the Oculus Quest 1 is an older device, and if it's out of warranty, you might need to consider repair or replacement if none of these steps work.
