If everything works fine as soon as you’ve plugged it in, you either have issues with the charger or the battery isn’t holding charge.

Replacing that battery isn’t an easy business. And if it dies on you, your Oculus blinking red light shows that your battery is trying to charge – but can’t.

This is always worth a try and it doesn’t take long. A reboot can jolt your Oculus out of a software glitch. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.

All the same, it’s worth a try. You might be one of the lucky ones. Be sure to tell them what you already tried to do so that they don’t take you through all the obvious fixes – like “Did you charge your device?”

We’re not just talking about how long the battery lasts between charges – although that isn’t very long. 3 hours of battery life is good in this context – though not enough for diehard gamers. That’s why external battery packs are such popular accessories.

If your device is damaged, then your Oculus’s blinking red light might be caused by something you’ll need help to fix – or you might need a new Oculus. Neither of these is good news.

If your battery isn’t charging or isn’t holding what charge it gets, you can check out this possibility by trying an external battery pack.

Try connecting your Oculus directly to your computer to see if it will charge here. But remember that it will charge a little more slowly this way.

Some experts say that you shouldn’t charge it above 80 percent, and even then you can’t expect a lot longer than a year of service.

But do remember the option of charging through a laptop, and never assume that your device is damaged unless you already tried restarting it.

Simple solution: try another one. Unfortunately, it will take a couple of hours to see whether this solution is working.

If you guessed that plugging in your Oculus Quest and leaving it to charge up is the fix that works most often, you got it in one!

Failing to charge, or charging very slowly, could be the inevitable result of trying to use a damaged USB cable or the wrong type of USB cable.

At this point, we’re still hoping that your device isn’t damaged. But although a factory reset can be a good solution, it will wipe out your data.

Some people report that a simple reboot was all they needed to get their Oculus from showing a blinking red charge light to the green, all systems go, light.

Choose the System option and look for the clock icon in the left-hand menu that offers a software update option. Select it to update your software.

So, before you try a factory reset which restores your device to the state it was in when you first got it, you might want to try checking for physical damage first (details below).

If your Oculus has been off for some time or has been in sleep mode, it won’t allow automatic software updates even if you already enabled them.
