What's the issue?

Select the primary repair needed for your Quest Pro. Our experts handle everything from modular swaps to complex component-level micro-soldering.

Joystick Drift Repair (ALPS Module Replacement)

Is your character moving on their own? This is known as 'Joystick Drift'. We provide a professional-grade fix by desoldering the old, worn-out analog stick mechanism and replacing it with a brand new, genuine ALPS Alpine module—the same high-quality part used by Meta.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Character moves on their own in-game (Ghost inputs/Drift)
•Menu selections jump around uncontrollably
•Stick feels 'crunchy', loose, or fails to click (L3/R3)
•Deadzone settings no longer fix the issue

Expert Prevention

Store your controllers in a case to prevent dust ingress. Avoid using 'compressed air' which can push debris deeper into the sensor. We recommend a light application of specialized dry-film lubricant every 6 months for heavy users.

Tracking Ring Repair (IR Sensor Flex Cable Fix)

If your headset or controllers have 'blind spots' in tracking, it's often due to a cracked internal flex cable. We perform precision micro-splicing to restore the connection to the infrared sensors.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Headset loses tracking when looking in certain directions
•Controller 'flies away' or disappears in VR
•Visible cracks in the tracking ring housing
•Tracking works intermittently

Expert Prevention

Avoid hitting your controllers against walls or furniture. Use protective silicone covers to dampen impacts.

Battery Replacement (Internal & Strap Battery)

Is your headset dying too fast or not holding a charge? We replace the internal lithium-ion batteries with fresh, high-capacity cells to restore your original play time.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Headset battery drains rapidly during use
•Headset only works when plugged into a power source
•Battery percentage jumps around or is inaccurate
•Headset won't turn on even after charging

Expert Prevention

Avoid leaving your headset in extremely hot environments (like a car). Try to keep the battery between 20% and 80% for long-term health.

Charging Port Repair (USB-C Micro-Soldering)

If your headset won't charge or the port feels loose, you likely need a charging port replacement. We perform expert micro-soldering to remove the damaged USB-C connector and install a new one directly onto the mainboard.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Headset won't charge or charges intermittently
•Oculus Link / Quest Link fails to connect to PC
•Visible charring, melting, or smell of ozone from the port
•USB-C cable feels loose or falls out easily

Expert Prevention

Use a high-quality Link cable with a 90-degree connector. Secure the cable to your headstrap with a velcro tie to act as a strain relief. Avoid charging while the headset is in a hot environment.

Cooling Fan Repair (Overheating Fix)

If your headset is loud, vibrating, or shutting down with heat warnings, the internal fan has likely failed. We replace the cooling assembly to keep your hardware running cool and quiet.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Loud whirring, grinding, or buzzing noise from the headset
•Headset feels excessively hot to the touch
•'Overheating' warning appears on screen
•Headset shuts down randomly during intense games

Expert Prevention

Keep your play area as dust-free as possible. Don't block the air intake or exhaust vents with stickers or third-party covers.

Screen & Lens Replacement (Sun Damage Fix)

Did you leave your headset near a window? Sunlight can permanently burn the internal screens. We restore your vision by swapping out the damaged LCD or OLED panels and lenses with factory-fresh optical units.

Diagnostic Symptoms

•Permanent yellow/purple spots on the screen (Sun burn)
•Severe scratches that catch the light and blur vision
•Cloudy or 'foggy' vision that won't wipe away

Expert Prevention

NEVER expose the lenses to sunlight, even indoors. Sunlight through a window can burn a screen in seconds. Use a dedicated lens cover whenever the headset is off your face.

Meta Quest Pro

Repair Resource

Device Overview

Meta Quest Pro

Released: October 25, 2022

The Quest Pro is Meta's high-end enterprise and enthusiast headset, introducing face and eye tracking, local dimming Mini-LED displays, and self-tracking controllers. It is designed for productivity and social presence.

Key Specifications

Resolution: 1800 x 1920 per eye (Mini-LED)
Optics: Pancake Lenses
Chipset: Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1
RAM: 12GB LPDDR5
Tracking: 10 High-Res Sensors (Internal & External)

Homeowner Prevention Guide

The Quest Pro's self-tracking controllers are advanced but sensitive; always wipe down the charging contacts with 90% isopropyl alcohol after a sweaty session to prevent corrosion. Keep the headset's internal sensors clean and avoid using the headset in extremely bright environments which can confuse the eye-tracking cameras.

Common Issues

Controller Charging Failure (Pin Corrosion)

Problem: The pogo pins on the controllers or the charging dock fail to make a connection, preventing charging.

Cause: Sweat or moisture buildup on the contacts after intense sessions, leading to oxidation.

At-Home Remedy

Gently clean the contacts on both the controller and the dock with a Q-tip dipped in 90% isopropyl alcohol. If the pins are physically damaged, they must be replaced.

Eye/Face Tracking Failure (Sensor Error)

Problem: The headset fails to calibrate or track eye/face movements correctly.

Cause: Internal ribbon cable fatigue or sensor misalignment due to drops.

At-Home Remedy

Ensure the headset is clean and updated. If hardware failure is detected, it requires a complex teardown to replace the internal sensor modules.
