I understand that you're experiencing a **black screen isssue** with your **Meta Quest 2** during startup. Let's troubleshoot this together! Here are some steps you can try:

1. **Hard reset**:

- Hold down the **power** and **volume down** buttons on your Meta Quest 2 for at least **10 seconds** or until the boot screen appears.

- Use the volume buttons to scroll to **"Boot device"** and select it using the power button².

2. **Factory Reset** (if needed):

- Press and hold the **power** and **volume down** buttons simultaneously until your Quest turns on.

- Navigate to **"Factory reset"** using the volume buttons and press the power button.

- Finally, select **"Yes, erase and factory reset"**³.

3. **Check Graphics Settings**:

- If you're using a hybrid graphics card setup (common in gaming laptops), where some processes run on the dedicated card while others run on integrated graphics, it might cause issues with Oculus Link.

- Try changing all Oculus files to **"High Performance"** in Windows' direct graphics settings instead of using Nvidia's control panel¹.
