In this video, I am showing you how to check if the Quest 2 controllers are turned on and what to do if they are not. There are some easy things to try but the actual root cause and fix might surprise you!
A small gesture of appreciation goes a long way. If I was helpful, buy me a coffee: bmc.link/SmartGlassesHub

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?

THANK YOU! Step at 2:00 min mark worked! I tried different batteries. The tallest battery with the highest pin worked! Seems with wear, the contact pin on the controller battery compartment gets weak so it needs a taller battery to make contact! The battery on the right controller worked on the right but not on the left. I tried every method, dozens of videos and months of refusing to buy a new controller 😭. I am so happy! Can't thank you enough!

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.
