It's the same with all modern devices now. The battery is so much harder to get to than is need to be. It's one of my pet peeves, that no thought is given to making it easier to disconnect the battery.
It's a scary thought all right.

Make things repairable = sell less devices
There are new EU rules coming in that electronic devices have to have the batteries easily removable. Let's hope that means we'll be able to get batteries swapped for these headsets and also controllers like the Pro controllers, Index Controllers and PSVR2 controllers.
Of course that depends on if you can actually get the parts. The Quest Pro has the battery in the headstrap and it's not difficult to get to. Trouble is it's a custom curved battery so you can't get a replacement. Meta don't sell spares.

It's a full repairable requirement not just batteries. It's in response to Apples insistence on sealing batteries for life in their iPhones. Apple are not the only offenders tho'.
UK are following suit.
Something close to my heart as you can see

Good to hear. It's needed. I'm fed up of throwing tech away because you can't repair it.
One of the worst cases is the Pro controllers where a £150 controller uses a cheap thumbstick unit that wears out and is very difficult to replace.
The latest news from borkdate central. Quest 2 controllers only working in the home environments, but not in games.

Controllers not working in apps
I have a meta quest 2. My controllers are working just fine in the home environment, clicking through the store, settings, etc. but when I click into apps (meta horizon worlds for example), they don't show up. I've restarted the headset, unpaired/paired the controllers, all the options I can...
Controllers not working in games
Hi - First time asking anything on here. My son was on his vr the other day and all was fine. He has gone on it today and the controllers are not working in any game - they are fine in the menu when selecting a game or exiting a game, doing the boundary etc but as soon as he enters the game -...
Quest 2 controllers not working
I don't know what caused this, they were working fine a day ago, but now whenever I load an app, my controllers no longer track. I have tried multiple applications so I know it isn't an issue on a dev's part. But now I can't use my headset for any games. I have already tried to unpair and repair...
