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?

I did the battery part, and I just simply pushed on the spring and it started working THANJKKKSSS🎉🎉

Same! That aluminum foil trick saved us from having to buy another controller! You’re the only person on here who suggested that too, I am so glad I found your video. Thank you!

That will ruin your controller if you do that lol

Thank you so much my controller wasn't working and I was really sad but then I did the aluminum foil thing and it worked!!! If I had to be honest I doubted it at first but anyways thank you so much you earned a sub!!! Again I can't thank you enough I'm so happy you're such an underrated KZreadr I don't know why you don't have more subs.

Thanks a lot! You really saved me. I did a mix of two solutions: changed the battery and used the tinfoil. Separately, they did not work but I almost cried when the light came on when I used them together.

2:44 this was literally the problem I had. Wow. Thank you so much! Just saved me 75 bucks!

The only thing it did is give me a freaking electric shock

This is the only video I found that helped, thank you so much!

The battery size thing helped my oculus so much thank you!

Thanks so much. My problem was the other way round. I had switched to a new set of rechargeable batteries which on checking are about 1mm longer than the old set. Switching back to the older (slightly shorter ones) and my controller now works again. Who knew AA batteries are not all the same size!

You earned a subscriber today! I cleaned the corrosion/rust off my best friend's controller but it still wouldn't turn on. But the aluminum foil trick worked!

thank you so much! my right controller needed a different brand, one that had a longer tip.

Thank you so much, I was having some problems with my controllers.

Thank you so much my love control it wasn’t working for so long and I was literally about to cry after I just had to replace the battery and put it back in and then I started working. Thank you so much you deserve 10k followers.

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.

@@kaidaone1419 that's awesome! Glad to hear it. It's a major drag when an expensive piece of hardware like that stops working. Especially if it's an item with maybe not the best tech support/repair options.

I tried factory resetting because I have and still have the same problem with my right controller, it sadly didn't work, I'll try again and maybe it'll work

Saved me so much money with these tips. Thank you!

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!

Thanks for the help, I got my controller working again. Thank you for making these videos to help people.

BIG HELP thank you so much nothing online worked but ur the only who reccomended to just clean the dang thing haha

Many thanks! I got my controller fixed by changing another battery brand. I didn't know that Guest 2 controllers are that sensitive for "standard" AA battery sizes.

Thank you! Mine was the battery Suze which I never would've thought since it worked for the left fine.

Wow. The foil tip was spot on. Thanks for posting the video.

I was freaking out. I had dropped my controller, the battery cover AND battery went flying. I put what I thought was the right battery back in it, it was a dead one that rolled off the table. Thank you random youtuber for quickly ending my freak out. I'm subscribing. :-)

Thank you so much!! I honestly had no idea how to get to the battery place and I was about to replace it but. The battery was just low. Your a lifesaver

You are a lifesaver my friend. I have fought with this issue for years now and the foil seems to have fixed it !

Thank you mane! The + end of my controller was pushed down a little, so this solved the issue! Appreciate it

ur a living legend. I got the quest on my birthday and the left controller didn’t work. I tried the aluminum trick and it didn’t work. Then I switched the side I put the aluminum and it worked. Thanks and God bless

OMG OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN SEARCHING SO FRIGGIN LONG AND I HAVENT FOUND ANYTHING UNTILL NOW OMG THANK YOUUUUU❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much I’ve only had my Occulus for a couple months and I couldn’t afford to buy a new controller but this video saved me $80 thank you so so much 😅🎉❤

How did you clean it?

Thank you so much my controller wasn't working for almost a month and I was considering buying a new controller but all I had to do was wipe it down and it works again. Thank you again

The pin cleaning method worked for me after an afternoon of frustration I thought I would need to replace my left controller thank you. It was just the smallest black debris blocking the contact to the battery

You are the best person for telling me how to do this

Omg thank you so much I didn’t think it was going to work bro thank you so much

The Foil trick worked! Thank you!

Thanks for this man you’re awesome

You are such a live saver, thank you much

This man just saved my emotional break down 😂

Was the battery size for me. Many thanks, I would never have considered that!

Thanks for the help I dropped a like

the foil tip worked, thanks!

Thank you very much I didn't believe it but works put in the foil on the positive side and works good now

cleaning tip, thanks so much worked super well

Thank you for the idea it helped

Keep it a buck with u I thought it wouldn’t work I was shocked it worked thank you😭🙏

Thanks

Thank you the batteries were the problem very nice👍

Thanks I was about to buy a new one!!!!

Bro you are The best❤🙏🏻 you mad my controller work💪🏻 Im subscribing

Holy shit! I liked, subbed and sent positive thoughts to you for that foil trick. Gangsta

Thank you very much, nothing was working (and before this happened I even noticed the controller failing briefly sometimes), so I put the aluminium foil on the positive side and it worked! I first tried putting the foil on the negative side and it still wasn't working so I panicked a bit haha

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?

Thank you very much for the aluminum foil tip saved me some money

Omg sir. You're a magician! Thank you so much!

thx , the aluminum solved my problem and 100$ from my wallet, you are awesome , if someone has this problem definitely im going to recommend this video.

I feel dumb for not considering this as I am a relatively clean person and don't like getting my electronics dirty at all but after a damp cue-tip and dry paper towel on the negative it instantly turned on thank you so much.

Damn u smart! I havent used this for more than 10x since a year ago. My left controller didn’t pair. I replaced the battery and it didnt work, i checked the terminal and it was corroded. I brushed it with a toothbrush and peroxide and im back in business!🙏🏽💯💯💯

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thank you so much I love you!

Bro that foil solution was so clutch I was about to flip out but that totally solved it 😮😮

Get this man to 1m subscribers. Worked

The pins of my controller were not lose, so I thought the aluminium foil thing wouldn't work, but I said Whatever, let's try... and magic! I had to put it on the positive side, though. Thanks, man!

It worked! Thank you SO much the aluminum foil trick worked... You saved me from having to buy new controllers

The aluminum worked for like 5-10 seconds and then it stops working

I had the issue aswell and i was upset that my controller was broken and i have to buy a new one. But then i came up with the idea of taking the right controller batterie and putting it into the left one, and it WORKED!! Afterwards i got a new batterie for my right one now i can game again.

Aluminum foil trick did it! Thank you!

The first method worked Tysm

Thank you!! The is helped fix my left controller!!!

Thank you so much! mine is fixed!

My right controller suddenly stopped working and a battery swap did nothing. I checked and the contact was a bit corroded so I used vinegar on a cotton swab to thoroughly clean it, let it dry and put the battery back and its working perfectly. Thank you!

Tyyyyyyyyy I wanted to play gorilla tag so bad but it wasn’t working and now I can!

Thank you.

Wtf it actually worked! Thanks!

Thanks bro this solved my problem

Thanks! You saved me and my salary, because the vr headset isn't mine and I was going insane for them not turning on

Thank you!!!! The aluminum foil worked. Appreciate it

TYSM, I just got rechargeable batteries for my controllers and for some strange reason, the left one wasnt working, tried a regular button and the light turned on thank you!

thanks

It worked so great!!! Thank you for making this video

i cant believe this aluminum foil trick worked. Thank You!

Thank you! Saved me from tossing a couple controllers!

Did what you said on the negative side there was a little corrosion and the contact springs down a little rough I wonder if its compromising connection because doesn't turn on even with new batteries.

NOTHING WORKED! MY LEFT CONTROLLER WAS BLINKING AND STILL DIDN'T WORK WHEN I TRIED ALL OF THAT!, THINK AGAIN SMART GLASSES HUB!

Thank you

literally the first solve worked thank you so much it wasn't working then I literally just wiped it off and it worked lmao IM stooopid...

Thanks!! Put the tin foil on the + side and turned and messed with the battery alil and it turned on!
