If your controllers are turning on, but you are unable to connect or pair them to your headset, proceed with the following article: smartglasseshub.com/quest-2-controllers-not-pairing-or-connecting/
Annoyingly my left controller is still broken. It will connect briefly, when I take out the batteries and put them back in, and then it disconnects then reconnects a couple times before it just completely stops trying to pair but the light stays on and keeps blinking. Do you know a possible way to fix this or will I have to buy a new controller?
That alliuminum foil tip, thank you, you are literally the best person on earth, my controller is working again. Please, whatever you do, just remember, small tips like that, save people like me 80 dollars when thinking of getting a new controller. You're a life saver
Same! That aluminum foil trick saved us from having to buy another controller! You’re the only person on here who suggested that too, I am so glad I found your video. Thank you!
Basically I need help because what I did was I went to settings and I turn it off hidden by tracking and now I don’t know how to fix it and turn it back on so my controllers aren’t working
Hey I was wondering if I could have anymore help? my controller has no power let alone connecting to the headset. I changed 5 different batteries and even tested the batteries. I tried the tin foil as well and it had no effect either. the battery isnt getting hot either any ideas to what it may be? the controller has no light on and has no power at all.
My oculus right controller doesn’t turn on, and I already tried switching the batteries with the one that works and the left one keeps turning on except for the right one
My controllers are turning on, no spring issues, and all. But my right controller is failing to remain on and instead sounds like its buzzing and constantly vibrating and struggling to stay on. I've put aluminum foil on but that just appears to not do anything but boost the issue. The controller was on and working fine all day from about 4-8 am and then proceeded to struggle to stay on. I'm currently trying to find a solution but none have come up. This controller hasn't been smacked on anything and hasn't been dropped, but it did have a habit of fading out of existence (figure of speech for it drifting off) while playing games. Im still trying to figure it out so if you have any ideas please tell me-
Update: I have one solution that might work for you. I was having the same problem. First try replacing both batteries with new ones or different batteries then turn your oculus off for 5mins and when you turn it back on move yourself into a different room. I noticed that one of my controllers did not work in my room area anymore so try finding a new spot to play. Keep trying different area until it works again
Thank you so much my controller wasn't working and I was really sad but then I did the aluminum foil thing and it worked!!! If I had to be honest I doubted it at first but anyways thank you so much you earned a sub!!! Again I can't thank you enough I'm so happy you're such an underrated UA-camr I don't know why you don't have more subs.
I bought a Meta-Oculus Rift S one year before they dropped their support of this product. The Rift S worked well until I updated my computer. Now two years later and after a year of Meta stupid suggestions for getting my Rift S working again, it's still not working. I have a $400 paper weight that Meta refuses to fix even though they say my new computer should not be a problem. I cannot recommend buying any Meta products due to their lack of customer service and having a chance of the same dropping of older products support. Meta basically has no customer service and only lip service!
OK I don’t know what’s happening but whenever my controllers are on the charger cause I have a oculus and controller charger the controllers turn on fine but whenever I take it off the charger put on my oculus and I try to use my controllers I just don’t work I put new batteries in they just don’t work and I don’t know what to do
I'm having issues finding the plastic piece that holds the spring in place on the positive side of the controller. Its a little plastic ring that holds the mental contact in place that sits on top of the spring. Do you know if there is a replacement for that plastic ring?
thx , the aluminum solved my problem and 100$ from my wallet, you are awesome , if someone has this problem definitely im going to recommend this video.

For any others who haven't used their rig in a while and are having issues: My problem was that the system just inisisted that my right controller was dead. I'd swapped batteries, tried the tin foil and even sanded the negative terminal to ensure good connection. The controller powered up and the light on the ring blinked but the headset wouldn't see it. I used the Quest app to remove and re-pair the controller which worked fine but same issue. Just said 0% and the headset wouldn't acknowledge it was connected. I factory reset the headset and it immediately took a firmware update for the right controller. Now it's working fine.
@@kaidaone1419 that's awesome! Glad to hear it. It's a major drag when an expensive piece of hardware like that stops working. Especially if it's an item with maybe not the best tech support/repair options.
I tried factory resetting because I have and still have the same problem with my right controller, it sadly didn't work, I'll try again and maybe it'll work
Thanks so much. My problem was the other way round. I had switched to a new set of rechargeable batteries which on checking are about 1mm longer than the old set. Switching back to the older (slightly shorter ones) and my controller now works again. Who knew AA batteries are not all the same size!
Thanks a lot! You really saved me. I did a mix of two solutions: changed the battery and used the tinfoil. Separately, they did not work but I almost cried when the light came on when I used them together.
Thank god I thought to check the comments I did the same thing and it worked I was about to cry and then I read this comment and what do you know it works
My controller does the SoS blinking, tried updating it several times, restarting the headset multiple times, left the batty out for 24 hours. Stuck in and endless updating cycle from 0-100% over and over again.
Wow! I too had my doubts that the aluminum foil thing would work. I have a Quest 3. It's actually the positive end that is concave such that, if a battery is made in a way that the positive tip doesn't stick out enough into the receptacle, it might not connect well. So I put a tiny bit of folded aluminum foil in there, keeping the shiny side out, and it worked! I need to be able to like this video many more times than just once. One time will have to do. You have earned a subscription.
ur a living legend. I got the quest on my birthday and the left controller didn’t work. I tried the aluminum trick and it didn’t work. Then I switched the side I put the aluminum and it worked. Thanks and God bless
heyo, my controller just stopped working and the aluminum tip fixed it! which is great, but im a bit ignorant on the matter, will this aluminum thingy be a safe long run option? or can it damage the controller? because it seems a bit odd
Thank you So! so! so! much he aluminium foil really did work! thank you so much. You get a sub from me just for that and a like and will actually share this to everyone!
Once I got a new battery in the controller I saw the white light flashing and went to meta app to repair it to my quest 2 and it told me to hold down B and the oculus button and it was paired up
Went to change my batteries well turns out i accidently put the old battery 8n and not the new one i got my controller working on yhe first step thank you so much if it werent for you id be thinking i had a bad cintroller
what if white light not even white blinking? Can't solve that problem for many months already on right controller on left the same battery works compeletely fine
I was trying everything and it turned out the battery connection on the negative was stuck inwards. I just jiggled it a bit with my finger and it kinda popped out. Controller is working as normal 😊
I have an advanced problem I never heard of my controller still lights up when I put the battery's in but the NONE OF buttons turn or flash the light on the controller it will only flash if I press alot of buttons like keep pressing them all for like 1 minutes and it doesn't connect to my headset even though I tried everything I need help
TYSM, I just got rechargeable batteries for my controllers and for some strange reason, the left one wasnt working, tried a regular button and the light turned on thank you!
So my son’s controller will not come on, we tried all of these steps, also the battery is not getting hot so I’m unsure what’s going on with it. Any ideas?
I'm trying to find like something for like is it just my controller or it's the headset where it's all of it I don't know but my brother he's so rough on it and so whenever I'm trying to play the VR headset that I have it like the hands like move and there's no solution and I got no way to help and I need some help because whenever like I'm trying to go around in the VR headset but it's it's the controller itself it like it's it moves when I'm not moving and I'm looking all over and I can't find anything and it's really hard to fix the situation if you know how to please please reply on the text so I can stop this from happening
So i tried the alluminum foul trick and it didnt work, but when i put the battery back in without the foil it turned on. I guess it doesnt matter how it happens as long as it happens. I guess it worked in a way?
For me I used Kirkland brand batteries. They are a bit taller and pls don’t use the tinfoil unless truly necessary cuz it got the battery stuck and I had to use a knife to get it out.
Its weird. One type of battery is getting accepted on my right controller. And every single battery it just doesn't turn on. My left controller is doing perfect but my right is just not doing its job. I tried differend batteries but he only accepts one brand. The others are working on my left controller. Anyone know how to fix this?
I just got a new controller and I haven't hit anything and also have a full rubber guard fir the controller and I went to play my quest today and it just stopped
I feel dumb for not considering this as I am a relatively clean person and don't like getting my electronics dirty at all but after a damp cue-tip and dry paper towel on the negative it instantly turned on thank you so much.
I was freaking out. I had dropped my controller, the battery cover AND battery went flying. I put what I thought was the right battery back in it, it was a dead one that rolled off the table. Thank you random youtuber for quickly ending my freak out. I'm subscribing. :-)
Many thanks! I got my controller fixed by changing another battery brand. I didn't know that Guest 2 controllers are that sensitive for "standard" AA battery sizes.

No way the foil actually worked for me
The aluminum worked for like 5-10 seconds and then it stops working
NOTHING WORKED! MY LEFT CONTROLLER WAS BLINKING AND STILL DIDN'T WORK WHEN I TRIED ALL OF THAT!, THINK AGAIN SMART GLASSES HUB!
I was stressing over this for 3 days before I realized from this video that I put the battery in wrong 💀
Another way do the opposite of the last thing put aluminum foil on the positive side of the battery
It's still not working 😭

Keep it a buck with u I thought it wouldn’t work I was shocked it worked thank you😭🙏
Thank you!!!! The aluminum foil worked. Appreciate it
What worked for me was putting a small tinfoil square on the positive side (not the negative side where the spring is)
I tried putting foil under the battery, I'm now down a battery and about $100 (including shipping and taxes)
Thanks!! Put the tin foil on the + side and turned and messed with the battery alil and it turned on!

so mines is blinking when the headset isn’t on, but when i turn the headset on, it doesent want to blink or turn on
When you put the battery in the first time without the foil the battery was the wrong way round…😂
my left controller keep turning on and off and not waking up but it sometimes turn on for a little bit and turns off.
on the positive side the little thing came off i dont know what to do please help
Muito obrigado amigo, me ajudou demais, troquei o lado do papel aluminio e deu certo! Thanks so much
I’m actually so stupid I put the battery in the wrong way
My controller works but it dosent turn on and it blinks fast what do i do?

Many thanks! I got my controller fixed by changing another battery brand. I didn't know that Guest 2 controllers are that sensitive for "standard" AA battery sizes.
The first method worked Tysm
I tried that but only the left had the light and both of the batterys are 100% the right isit having the light
after hitting my controller i thought it was done for but then i used thr foil an
d it works now
Thank you, i just needed to change the type of batteries.😊
Tin foil worked lol I wasn't even sad I was mad I had the shit for 4 years now
the string is strong asf and i tried different batteries, the tin foil method and it doesn’t even try to get paired up
Controller is vibration and flicker but connect headset sir😢
me paso lo del fix, muchas gracias, ahora ya se que debo hacer para arreglarlo
My controlled is not turning on at all and I tried doing all this
Ty soo much mine just needed cleaning and the battery was in backwards
Cleaning the pushable battery contact did it for me.
