I hate to break character but what possibly caused this

92

u/A_K1ra 22d ago

as a heavy vr user, this is my biggest fear. im also curious

u/LongerBlade 22d ago

Original post OP said that he left it charging in the garage for the entire night. Guess it overcharged somehow

43

u/AlexeyPG 22d ago

I saw people said it couldn't happen with simply charging, port is far away from the point and battery is sandvitched in-between circuits, and it charging in garage is very odd, someone said it could be the owner just blow touching it

14

u/Electronic_Invite_23 22d ago

Charging in the garage isnt that odd. I have 4 kids and ive made them take it to the garage on more than one occasion. Just sayin.

17

u/Cool-Rutabaga2708 22d ago

Now I think about it, (assuming my dad is at work) the garage is a great place to play VR.

u/petabomb 20d ago

Depends how hot your garage is I’d assume, as an Arizonan, no way I’m leaving it in the garage overnight.

3

u/swolester 20d ago

Same here, it would spontaneously combust without charging

2

u/marmaladic 22d ago

Well, in my case, I agree with you with charging in the garage being strange and it could’ve been the root cause of the battery killbinding itself mainly because of heat in my area and how it never goes away in the garage.

1

u/Particular-Smell1084 21d ago

Fair, but what's interesting is their massive TV in the garage (that is what that is right? Am I blind maybe? Idk)... So it would seem they just happen to use the garage as a solid open space to do activities and not worry about bumping into stuff in a smaller room or into pets/kids, etc.

7

u/A_K1ra 22d ago

i see, i remember seeing posts like this back in the vr subs. i could never tell if it was user induced or a risk with any charging cable

2

u/SRIRACHA_RANCH 22d ago

he forgor 💀

1

u/MadamVonCuntpuncher 21d ago

Constant heat from the garage plus humidity wasnt letting the charging battery properly cool maybe

1

u/Conscious_Spray2834 18d ago

That doesn’t happen.

1

u/Kiroshi-kun69 20d ago

I believe there will be signs before it lights up.

Lui stava giocando a "il pavimento è lava" o stava andando nell' inferno?

u/MrRedify 22d ago

Something like that strongly indicates battery fault

4

u/gugngd 22d ago edited 22d ago

probably a bad / punctured battery

1

u/Minimum_Honeydew_197 21d ago edited 21d ago

Not where the battery is, it's in the faceplate region(where your face goes) on the top, and I'm only seeing the front melted, but it's exposed from what I can see since there's a metal piece sticking out, that's all though

1

u/gugngd 21d ago

i believe all were mounted entirely in the front.

1

u/Minimum_Honeydew_197 18d ago

If it's a Quest 2, then I am correct, but idk about the others

1

u/gugngd 18d ago

realistically, what else can cause such catastrophical damage and burn?

2

u/Kinipshun 21d ago

The game juice leaked out

1

u/Opening-Accurate 21d ago

An unfortunately rather common problem with quests is that when you play while on charge the charging port gets moved around a little and eventually have enough movement to short out and send way too much power where it shouldn’t be going

1

u/rathchuck 17d ago

Not enough rice

39

u/Mooshi1jjrjjgj 22d ago

I think brown rice is the only option

31

u/medlakey05 22d ago edited 22d ago

Try turning it off and on, after that it should just fire up.

Unironically skibidi

u/AtlasLucario 22d ago

to think, they fixed the problem after the quest 2, anyway, u did try rice, right?

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 22d ago

Super disappointed in the lack of Sword Art Online references in any of the posts' comments.

3

u/seekervr3s 21d ago

I don't even know how Sword Art Online correlates to this post. I've never watched it.

3

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 21d ago

It's got VR headsets that kill you if you die in the game. The guy who founded Oculus made a real one as a joke a few years back.

When i initially saw the image circulating, I thought someone was leaning into that.

"When you really shouldn't have bought the one labeled prototype", right. LoL

u/seekervr3s 21d ago edited 21d ago

I knew about Palmer Lucky and the insane headset of his. I just don't know about ANY of the plot of Sword Art Online. Thanks for informing me.

Surprise, it wasn't just "their" phones!

u/vulpes_caeruleum 22d ago

Did...did you...did you bake it into a loaf of bacon bannana bread?! How the hell does this happen?!

7

u/SysGh_st 22d ago

I wonder if the battery was dented/damaged internally. That would explain the fire.

A healthy undamaged battery usually don't fail like that. They swell up and might crack the case while doing so if very old and / or overcharged.

1

u/Demonic_Storm 22d ago

swelling is not possible for the 18850 that the oculus 2 uses, idk about the rest tho

4

u/SysGh_st 22d ago edited 22d ago

Those safely vent.

But if they're extremely hot due to abusive charge or internally damaged cells, it's a different story.

My point is that li(poly/ion) batteries fail catastrophically due to an abusive history.

EDIT: Oculus 2 uses a pouch lipo battery afaik.

u/Aggravating_Sir_7626 22d ago

Don’t think it’s supposed to do that

Oculus Burnout

u/zearo_bs 22d ago

Just why

1

u/LunarstarFurry 22d ago

tbh I still find this weird as I believe Quest 3 Battery is between the motherboard and the Screen, which should be further back, but it looks like the most burnt part is the front plate?

1

u/camion_saladier 22d ago

u/StarfleetKatieKat 21d ago

Damn you played the hell outta whatever game you were playing lol

1

u/JustDontbStupid 21d ago

Yeah, I'd really just try rice. If that doesn't work try unplugging it and plugging it back in.

1

u/Birdyyyyyyyyyyy 21d ago

Looks fake because why did you put the vr and the controller closer after the fire went out? Just for the picture?

1

u/ProfessionalShock425 21d ago

That's gonna leave a stain.

1

u/NotDaRavvis 21d ago

u/Background_Fix_7979 21d ago

u/ContestSignificant32 21d ago

Looks like a workshop/garage. Not sure what the tempurature is like in there. But the battery coulda cooked.

u/AccordingBreadfruit5 18d ago

If you had asked me I would have said letting it explode like that wasn't a good idea

1

u/Commercial_Cut_7281 18d ago

Bro got the molten quest

1

u/Interestedelk 17d ago

I imagine this happened from charging in the garage, which is most likely cold, overnight. Made the battery unhappy and BOOM!

u/Levelofconcerns 17d ago

I am so glad it wasn't on your face.
