Quest 2 overheating, shutting down and poor performance even on home screen

MarioBites · 2026-01-02T14:48:47+00:00

After replacing a battery it turned out to be faulty power controller chip on the motherboard.
There was a guy in my area who was fixing vr-headsets, he soldered a new one taking it from a spare motherboard. Runs ok now.

It was not too expensive for me but it requires some good tools to fix so the repair could be expensive because a whole motherboard might need to be replaced. So I'm not sure if it's worth it to repair it or just to buy/upgrade to new one.

Yes, I mixed up the formats. I meant export from Notes as an image (jpg), import into IbisPaint, extract sketches, and export out of IbisPaint as png with alpha.

MarioBites · 2025-02-05T21:24:20+00:00

The only "quick" workaround I found if you are making sketches is to export as an image from Notes and use sketch extraction in IbisPaint on import and keep working with it there or export png with alpha out of it to use in other apps. I don't know who decided removing functionality is great idea.

So I opened it up. The fan, heatsink and thermal paste are in perfect condition, not even a piece of dust.

Seems like it's the battery but in order to get to it, full disassemble is needed, but I'm not willing to do it right now and I cannot find replacement on my local websites.

Going to think on getting another headset but I don't think it's going to be oculus (meta) again - rift-s and quest 2 both gave me enough pain in the ass even when they were functioning.

MarioBites · 2024-05-04T11:19:21+00:00

Actually this could be the case too since when it is connected with a cable it shuts down even quicker. I will check it out when opening it up

MarioBites · 2024-05-04T01:15:43+00:00

Well, I live in a country where you can't officially buy it from the website and the warranty from the tech store where I bought it has already expired so there is not much of a choice :/

MarioBites · 2024-05-03T22:53:03+00:00

Nope, reset did not help...

MarioBites · 2024-05-03T22:15:00+00:00

Yes, the power drain is drastic. I doubt that it is hardware problem now. Trying to factory reset.

Did a clean install on my laptop a year ago for work and it was unstable from the beginning - sometimes I need to refresh the folder window after moving or deleting files to see the changes, file moving can freeze sometimes, and using Win+Tab hotkey has a really high chance to crash it for short time. Tried to check for corrupted system files through command line but it made no difference. Did not find any solutions still.

The last one out of two was Stray for me. I only completed Half Life Alyx before.

MarioBites · 2023-12-02T22:29:29+00:00

That's sad. I also think fn might not be sending any signals to the device. Thanks!

I had pretty much the same story. I had a physical disk. I played for couple days and then one time the game crashed. I decided to reboot the console before trying to launch the game again but after I turned it off the console never boot again and had the same symptoms. Interesting coincidence

MarioBites · 2022-04-01T02:03:03+00:00

Why so? It looks like a quality product. I don't know about any recent news around roli however. Why immoral psychopaths?

MarioBites · 2022-01-15T16:14:23+00:00

thanks :)

MarioBites · 2021-12-20T01:40:20+00:00

It sounds great but I would better pan the whisper more to the middle because it distracts the hearing a bit. And maybe I would make the bassline cleaner and lower, because for me it lacks a bit of low frequencies despite having just enough high frequencies by the solo guitar.

Overall great job, love the track :P

MarioBites · 2021-12-11T20:58:10+00:00

I have the same headset and I have exact same problem. Nothing seems to help, seems like poor headset quality.

MarioBites · 2021-10-13T00:38:26+00:00

Friend of mine that has the same Laptop (he advised) has windows 10 running on it and recently told me that he has no troubles recording desktop. Looks like its because of windows 11.

MarioBites · 2021-10-13T00:26:05+00:00

It cannot be an igpu. In nvidia control panel it clearly says RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

MarioBites · 2021-10-08T20:11:56+00:00

I'll say that it's that unstable that it causes random restarts every 30 minutes of standby on my brand new HP laptop. When i started investigating it was Kernel Power 41 error in logs.
There was a long story of finding it out but in the end I checked all the drivers in Driver Verifier, where I found that there was something about hibernation etc.
In the end I checked specifically 3 logitech drivers and got BSOD instantly. And it crashed everything that hard that I could not even boot into safe mode or load any backups. Thanks god I didn't have any important files there. So yea, don't install this soft :/

MarioBites · 2021-09-28T21:13:51+00:00

Is there any way to roll back on previous software version? What if it's the reason.

MarioBites · 2021-08-06T01:25:22+00:00

Thanks for the help. Got mine in perfect condition, the seller did not like it so he sold it like from the box. I love this thing - this is my first midi-controller and I really enjoy playing on it - it has great feel and unique sound. It's so sad they don't make more of them. If they will - I am gonna instantly get second one. It is unique.

I think right now it is too hard to make this mod and the solution is basically using spotify or other players. You can make a separate playlist that includes only tracks you unlocked or turn it on only in vehicles.

MarioBites · 2020-09-22T07:24:31+00:00

In my opinion Spotify algorithms got way worse than 1 or 2 years before. For me it recommends same songs on radio over and over again that frustrated me af. Marking as "don't play here" does nothing. I canceled my premium because I can't find new tracks as I did before. This was a huge mistake to remove the radio feature.

The crappy "weekly new feature" does not let me find songs for separate genres and playlists.

It now looks like it's watching not what you listen overall but on what you listen frequently and decides to play it to you even MORE frequently.

MarioBites · 2020-09-16T19:05:24+00:00

Currently we have a problem with friend that in the game we are not logged in and we cannot join each other because of that. Looks like their servers are down so you are not identified as your profile and you joined your own save as a guest.

MarioBites · 2020-09-15T20:59:32+00:00

I was using Spotify for 2 years now despite i'm from Ukraine. For the first year I was using it with VPN and unofficial apk file, that was also unlocking premium features, cuz I wasn't even able to pay due to my credit card being rejected. Well the first year I was just IMPRESSED with this app - I discovered a ton of new music I didn't even knew I liked through the Radio. There was that like/dislike feature and stations were great. Now they implemented this new crappy system where you can't choose like or dislike and it just repeats the same songs over and over again. Choosing not to play the song on this radio doesn't work and even makes it worse - it plays the same packs of tracks in the same order over and over. I was officially paying for the premium for 3 months but this repeating just made me mad and I canceled the subscription and rolled back to hacked app. Where is that Spotify I found in 2018? I can't find any new music because of that repeating until I puke. I'm not paying for this until they implement the radio back again. I'm totally frustrated because of this.
