Thank you and well done providing a remedy to this issue. I had spent hours trying to sort this and even spoke with the support line who had me return it for a new one. I had the same issue and decided I was going to find an answer, I couldn't be the only one having this problem and after sifting through all the trouble shooting I found your video. Thank you so much, I appreciate it .

Factory reset

Same thing here. My dog somehow got to it and thrashed it around. Maybe that’s why😭

[@User.5626]

Hold power button and volume up for 15 seconds don’t factory reset yet I got it and that works

[@ZonedForLife]

Just got it it’s a pain in the ass I messed around with it a lil and it just won’t turn on the screen keeps blinking grey honestly idk what to do 😢

[@ralphralpherson9441]

THANK YOU! This helped tremendously. My oculus was stuck in some weird state for 3 days after my kiddo (she's 10) played it until the battery died. I always tell her never to play below 10% without plugging in but... shes a kid. They never listen. Well, I showed her how her headset was dead and now I think she understands. I honestly was afraid the thing did some "black screen of death" crash but just the hard restart (holding + and power) worked! It did take a FULL 15 SECONDS, so if it hasn't worked for you, try it again and watch a clock or watch to ensure you held it for a FULL "15 Mississippi" slow count. LOL
It wouldn't charge, the screen was black, and the red light on the side would stay on constantly whether the device was plugged in or not. I was worried it was junk. We shall see if it charges back to 100% and the light turns green or not... maybe she did kill the battery somewhat, but at least I got the screen back on and the thing is "talking" to me now. I managed to get the screen and cameras back on and even shut it down properly to attempt charging. Fingers crossed!
My big worry however is that it first showed me a "battery low" icon and then booted up. But once I shut it down properly and plugged it back in, it showed me charging at 82%... so my battery might be fried. 🤔😫
Thanks again! Big help. At least this got me moving in the right direction to diagnose the thing. Before it was just black screens and a solid red light.

Used some tape to hold up the flexible mask, so that the sensor would not be obscured, and it worked a treat. You should post this handy tip on the Oculus forum. So helpful !. Thank you.

[@BOwens42Outdoors]

Perfect,thank you 👍🏾

my fix is the opposite, to stick a sticky tape on the sensor between lenses. should i return my quest 2 ?

[@JimMcLaren1950]

Thank you for this info. Lots of good info Like 3rd party face interface blocking the sensor. I had to use the soft boot ( Plus button volume and power button ) that worked.
Thanks again.

Indeed you are an angel... Here's why.... My oculus 2 was not booting all of a sudden and sometimes it did... I tried everything possible to fix... factory reset, memory freeing, battery recharge etc... STILL no fix. Contacted Oculus Support.... after several email iterations.. they gave up and asked me to send the headset to US... I am in india. Just I was planning to ship it to US to fix it.. I came across your video.... and found that the torn cloth in the headset's face cushion is blocking the proximity sensor..... i tore that cloth bits and boom.... everything is hunky dory..... had I came across your video before... i wouldn't have reset the device... THANKS A TON HOLY ANGEL :)😀

[@catnip2018]

Thank you so much for this, my headset wouldn’t turn on after it died last night, I thought it was my time to drop vr but now I can keep it going

I cannot explain how thankful I am for your service. Without this video I wouldn't be able to play beat saber with my homies Jamal and Felix. I would like to thank your mother for having you as a child. You are a inspiration to my whole family. In my dreams I say your name and my wife says why you thinking about a man when we are in bed I just say but its Tricks Tips Fix and she understands. My mother, father, uncle, auntie, cousin, wife, son, daughter, adopted son, grandma, grandpa and dog and my pet chicken know about you. I cannot express my gratitude enough that you beautiful man posted this life saving video. Not just for me but for everyone that needed help with their Oculus Quest 2. If I could I would marry you and have children with you but I can only dream. Thank You
