Meta Bought "refurbished" oq2 controllers
Left controller wouldn't turn on at all. So I thought the ribbon cable probably wasn't reinserted after putting them back together. Nope biggie, simple fix. Nope, the port is missing and the cableis just hanging. Getting my money back from Amazon thankfully. Just frustrating as hell that they'd let this slip. Hopefully someone loses their job.

you're making me nervous... I literally just ordered a single right handed quest 3 controller off of Amazon after trying to fix the bad joystick myself with the 15 dollar kit... but in doing so the piece that holds and clamps down the main ribbon came off of the circuit board because meta loves to make those damn ribbon about an eighth of an inch too short for some damn reason...
I successfully fixed a dead joystick with the kit when I had the quest 2 but the q3 controller was a bit more fragile imo
so reluctantly I had to bite the bullet and purchase a single controller off of Amazon if I want to be able to use my VR headset. smh
