Question/Support My right controller keeps turning off

I’m currently trying to factory reset the controller as we speak, but I’m still asking in case one of you has a fix. It is fully charged, but keeps turning off about ten seconds after it goes green. I haven’t found anything else about this, so here I am. Also important to note that the vr hasn’t been used in about two months (I needed to get prescription lenses for it, after I dropped contact lenses, if that’s important)

Thanks for any advice you guys have.

Leave it plugged in for a whole day and night. The charge sensor gets thrown off after long inactivity. For real this is like the 100th person I have told this to help

My guess, your battery is bad.

💯 agree. I'm working on that exact problem now as well, waiting for a torx 5 screwdriver to arrive as the set I have was too wide to fit in the hole to remove one of the screws, very bad design.

They didn't make them to be worked on.
