FIX: Quest 2 Battery is Full but Controller Won't Power Up (No light after pressing a button)
ฝัง

- If your Oculus Quest 2 controller/Meta Quest 2 controller is not powering up (no light) after you replaced a new battery; try to fix your controller not being active after pressing any button. One of the solutions for that that worked for me is that there was a problem with the connector. Maybe a bit of debris and it might in your case be corrosion that leads to the power in the battery not reaching the controller itself, thus not waking it up.
So this might not be a battery issue at all, but a problem with the connector itself. It's a very common issue, so make sure to cover this one as well, just to make sure this is not your problem before ordering a new controller or sending your Quest 2 controller to a lab, or asking Oculus/Meta for a replacement.
You can try another set of solutions here if this one doesn't work for you.

My man, it's been about a year. I've struggled with the battery not connecting for literally a year. I was on my last knees, saving up just enough money so I could buy a new controller and here you come around. Just took out my trusty screwdriver and rubbed the connector a bit. That was it. It works again. Thank you so much my man. Of all of the fixes, this was the one that actually worked.
That's why I share, I almost ordered a new controller, nothing else worked and this is the only one that did. So happy it helps others and save them money.
Same
It worked!!! I actually started opening the controller before getting to your video. This is usually what I do with most battery powered devices when I get power issues but somehow didn't occur to me this time. A little scratching with a small flat head screwdriver and voila... Thanks a million. You saved me from wrecking my controller.
Great video it was definitely helpful! This actually lead me to realize what my problem was after poking the terminals and it was actually the positive terminal wasn't springing all the way back up like the other controller was doing. The metal part wasn't flush with the plastic part. Took apart the controller most of the way and then kind of wiggled around the spring for it and with luck it popped all the way out again and now the light comes on the controller again finally!!
This is a cpu
You saved me a good amount of money, thought my controller just died on me, thank you so much for this
Sorry for the late reply. Happy to help. I was also about to buy a new controller, and tried everything, that worked. Happy it helps others.
fr tysm
Yes, this worked when so many other suggested fixes didn’t. Thank you!
Happy to hear that. Was the only thing that worked for me as well after trying so many other suggestions, why I decided to share it. Thank you for your comment.
Literally a life saver I kept trying everything and nothing worked but this did thank you so much
Same how it was for me, and I already ordered a new controller and cancelled the order after I was able to fix it. Posted a video as I was sure many might have the same issue.
OMG! I just did exactly what you did with 0 hope because it was hard to believe the fix could be that simple after all this time and FIXED IT! I was so wrong, and you made me very happy. Thank you very much man! You're a legend!
You're welcome!!
How did you clean it?
Dude. I was about to get my son a new set of controllers cause his right one hasn’t worked for a good couple months. I tried this and it worked instantly. Thank you so much
I didn't connect to my MQ2 for about a year long, replaced my batteries, nothing worked except this! Thanks.
I did noticed the contact had a rough spot on it and the substance was a bit hard to see. I took some fine grade sandpaper and gently rubbed it until it was smooth. Worked like a champ. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much man 8 got my quest like 3 months ago, and it was one of my most valued items. I thought I was gonna have to save up my money again and get some new controllers. Right before I was about to give up. I saw your video and decided to give it a shot. Your video helped me so much and I cannot thank you more. 👍🙏🙏💪
dude you just saved my skin, my controller kept thinking the fresh batteries were at like 20% and it'd die so fast, but now it reads them as their correct percentages. thank you !!
Happy it helped yet another viewer. For me it saved buying a new controller. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I was almost to the point of buying a new device but fortunately came across this video and it fixed my controller!
Holy cow.... you just saved me a sh*t ton of money, thanks man.
This video needs to be highlighted more! Everyone else was just saying "remove the batreries!". Please share this with everyone.
Thanks. Yeh, exactly what happened to me, I was about to order a new controller and try last resort options. When this one worked, I just couldn't believe it myself and I decided to share it with others to save them money from buying a new controller.
Thank you so much for posting this - just saved me from panic-ordering a new controller! :)
You're welcome!!
This really worked I’m so thankful for you! I’ve been trying to fix this for 9 months
I almost ordered a new one, and that's the only one that worked for me as well. Happy that helped!
Same! Save me many hours of struggle! Did this on my controller and sure enough, some corrosion on the negative connector. I cleaned some up with a plastic torx driver and viola! The controller came back on. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
You have saved me alot of stress bro. I just got this oculus from my dad and thought I was going insane when my left controller wouldn't work, even when I put in brand new battery's and tried my right controllers battery. Thank you fr 😭
You are welcome!
I hope everyone with this issue find this video.... it surely does work... Thank you very much
Thanks. I almost bought a new controller until this one worked out, I had to share..
dude you are amazing, usually I dont subscribe to channels from one video but dude you are the best. this solved my problem instantly I have watched countless other videos and you had the only working idea so thank you.
Glad I could help and thank you for the sub!
My guy I love you! You just saved me from ordering a new controller. This worked for me! Thanks!
Thanks - i was ready to bin my Oculus Go because the controller would not power on. Tried your suggestion gave the contact a rub with a nail file and it worked straight away! Many Thanks 👏👍😎
I had the same problem. Right controller stopped working right in the middle of the game. Scratched the surface of the battery contacts and now it works!! Thanks
you have bee the only one to truly help with this controller problem ive had thank you
Solved my issue. I knew corrosion is possible after I didn't touch my quest 2 for months while leaving the battery in the controller. I looked at it and it looked clean. After watching the video I decided to take a small knife and scrape the contact points, and it solved the issue.
This really worked!!
Thank you I've been trying to fix this for an hour until I found this video!
You're welcome! Happy that it helped out. For me it solved the need to but a new controller.
thank you so much man i was so scared that my controllers actually died but you saved me
Thank you so much! It worked for me after scratching the white powdery buildups.
My oculus controller has been broken for over a year and i just dont have the money to get another one i was just gonna save up for the new one but this actually worked i thank you so much after how long i tried and no matter how many times i tried this is the simple fix thanks man.
Tysm, I was just gonna buy a new controller but I saw this and tried it and now my controller works. Again thank you 🙏
No problem 👍 happy it helped.
man I never thought I would be saved by one of these tech channels
I had the same exact thing, worked like a charm!
King 👑 Fr. Was a bit worried at first but works like normal now thanks heaps
No problem 👍
Bro even after 1 year this still works I didn’t have a screwdriver so I use a fork, a wet towel and started cleaning it and it actually worked Tysm
thank you man had this issue for maybe 3 months and just rotating the battery worked. i even bought new batteries
I normally don’t comment on things. However I have to give it to you this actually worked for me i used the screw driver and clean it with a towel popped right on. So thanks so much
Appreciate it and I'm happy it helped you out. I was about to buy a new one, and this idea was the last resort. Happy it helps others.
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX IT FOR SO LONG! Thank you so much!
Exactly how I felt when I was able to find a solution. So happy it worked for you as well.
I am dumbfounded! It works! Thank you so much something so simple but I never would have thought about it as an issue. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this.
You are welcome. I was in the same situation, but I didn't want to give up and try other options and this one was the last one and it worked for me.
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?
I’ve had problems with alkaline batteries in my right controller I don’t know why it only happened with alkaline batteries and they worked great with my left one but I got a small screw driver rubbed it lightly on there mettle part inside the controller and now it works thank you so much very helpful video
What happens to me is that:
I have like a Strap with battery and charges with a normal charger, well, yesterday, when I started playing I realized that the controllers did not turn on, I connected the charger and it turned on but it had like 70%. It turns out that they only work while the charger is connected, I already tried putting aluminum foil but it does not work, any fix?
This DID work for me, thank you very much 🙏. Much appreciated.
My controller is connecting and deconnecting when playing, mostly happens when I'm making greater moves/swings (like for example playing Beat Saber). First it works, then it buzzes louder then normal, then it doesn't buzz at all when it should and then it deconnects...connects again.... deconnects ..... I think your trick first worked because before it was just dead, but do you think there is anything else I can do so it just stays connected? Thank you so much!
BROOO TYSM IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX IT FOR 5 MONTHS ALREADY THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO!
Oh bro- I was so scared because I thought it wasn’t going to work. Capture my whole face in shock and jaw dropping when my controller finally went back to life by just moving the battery- (context: I haven’t used my oculus in a long time and the previous batteries exploded and I was so scared they were gonna work again bc the connector was rusted) BUT THEY WORKED! Just needed some good cleaning and a little nudge- tysm for this tut!!
If a battery exploded there might be corrosion on the inside. In the future, if it stops working, you can disassemble the controller and remove the battery contact point, and soak it in lemon juice and baking soda to fix it.
Thanks bro, I really can't afford buying a new controller and this worked. Thanks so much!!!
So happy to hear that
I don't know if mine are like this but on the app it only shows the battery at 100% and firmware not available, not sure if it is due to me changing the openxr for steamvr or not
Thanks so much I was playing with a buggy battery before thanks so much This is the best tutorial
Happy it helped out, you are welcome!
THANK YOU! I tired your technique and it worked!! I got a soft pen to push the sensor in a few times and changed the batteries.
What if there was a chance battery acid was leaking from the battery and it wont work. How do i fix it?
I didn't think that it would actually fix it but holy heck it works, Thank you haha
Completely worked for me, thank you sir!!!
This worked I cleaned and scrapped it a little bit and twisted in a a little while it began to work thank you
Thank you for showing me to move around my battery. It works!
You are a genius, that worked for me! Thank you!
So I found rayvac batteries were me issue? I have no idea why, they were brand new, I tried multiple, and went through every process and nothing worked. Finally i tried a different brand, enwrgizer, and it worked.
This didn't work for me but I put a small piece of tin foil into the lower connector and then put the battery in and it worked! The spring in the lower connector (+) must have worn or loosened.
this worked tysm
Hey it actually worked! Most of the time when I google tech issues, the first thing to come up doesn't fix my problem but this time luck was on my side I guess!
Thanks for sharing your feedback and happy it helped out!
Dude i thought i was going insane and was about to buy new ones. I looked at it and it had corrosion ... thanks my man
Glad I could help
Thank you so much, I finally got a light on my right controller
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me fix my controller!
You're welcome!
What can I do the part where you put the battery that is closest to the buttons has black stains
For me, it was that I hit my controller and it must have damaged the battery itself. I just replaced it with a new battery and it worked again like brand new.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was about to buy new ones.
Thank you so much!!! I had to go at it with an exacto knife and isopropyl alcohol but I managed to get it to work!
Happy this video helps, for me, I almost ordered a new controller, luckily this one solved it and great that for others as well.
@@SpookyFairy mine is clean but it wont work
a kid on gorrilatag was asking for help with one of their controllers not working.. they said they put in new battery and it still didn't work. I tried to explain to them that the contacts on the batter and controller holdring the batter could be dirty.. and to clean them with some isopropel alcohol. I think this is one of the most common issues.. in particular because people get food and other debri and oils(etc) on thei finger tips and around the finger nails.. this could get on the contacts when changing batteries. This is also more a risk with the oculus because of the way they have designed the way the battries are held in place and to get them out you need to use a fingernail to dislodge the battery.
Holy crap thank you so much i was so scared my controller was done for the battery holder thing was just stuck and had to pull it out
Worked amazingly!!! Just grabbed a fork and scraped the metal part until it was smooth, light came on and now I don’t have to buy a new one!😁
This man is the goat he’s is the best helper
hehe thanks
This worked for me. Thank you❤
Thank you so much this actually helped!
You are welcome. For me that was also the only thing that helped. Almost ordered a new one. Make me happy that it helped others. Thanks.
did you fix it with a soldering iron or something

I also had a no power on a left touch. The first time this happened was the 16 pos (pin) ffc cable from the grip to the mainboard was loose at the mainboard. That one is the most challenging of the flex cables to get re-seated. I got lucky by just assembling the two halves and the cable slid into place. I used a tooth pick to lay the clip down. If you are unsure that it might not be all the way in, there is a line printed on the ffc and it should line up evenly with the connector body. Keep in mind this is all under very tight spaces, might need a light and jewelers glasses to keep your hands free. The other issues of no power is the ring ffc's. There is a 8 pos and a 6 pos ffc connector bodys on the mainboard. Those 2 are very close to being exposed to moisture from the trigger area. Those are itty bitty 0.5 mm pins that get corroded and the slightest bump knocks the pads loose off the board. I opened one up to be greeted with a floppy cable with its connector still hooked up. Inspecting closer showed the pads were yeeted. new boards abound on the net and a new touch is 75$. Weigh that against a great repair shops hourly rate. PSA!!! WEAR GLOVES and keep it in a case.🧤
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH UR AWESOME IT WORK AFTER 2 YEARS OF NOT PLAYING IT IS FINALLY ON
Thanks alot, this really helped!
Amazing - it worked!!! Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome! I waws about to order a new controller, and that was the last thing I tried and BOOM worked. Happy to hear that it helped others as well.
Thank you so much it worked I was so worried I got my oculus this Christmas and this happened and this fixed thank you so much
Never mind..
Thx soo much this problem was driving me nuts
You are welcome.
Thanks, it works. My left controller has some kinds of corruption and I removed it with alcohol and tissue but then it never waked up again. I use the screwdriver to scratch out the remaining corruption and it now works again.
Happy it helped Kelvin. Thanks for sharing.
Got a little bit too rough playing blade and sorcery, and I accidentally struck my ceiling. Lefty stopped responding.
Wasn't the first time I experienced problems with that particular controller, and I figured it was about time to put the old horse down, but instead of immediately ordering a new controller I checked the internet to see if there was anything that mighta been able to save it.
Was a little confused at the instructions, but after about 15 seconds of rubbing the tip of a screwdriver on the battery receiver, I put the battery in and Lefty immediately booted right back up.
I don't know how this worked. I don't know why this worked. But I know it worked.
Cannot thank you enough for saving me the hundred or so dollars it'd take to get my controller replaced.
wow. that actually worked! thanks. i just wiped the metal contact with my finger and it worked.
thanks so much for this video. worked for me!!
