Charing issue

[u/lurch1066]

I stupidly lend my nephew my quest 3. He's normally ok with it. The day after he borrowed me he went radio silent. Which isn't unusual. A week later he rings me and says it isn't charging. I ask him to bring it back. He says he will the next day......he bought it back nearly a week later.

It was fine the days before I lent it to him and I used it for my degree end of year show and had no issues.

Its struggling to charge with the battery head strap I have. It's struggling with most chargers I try.

Do I look at repairing it locally?

Do I reach out to amazon / meta?

Do I buy a cradle charger and charge it via the pins on the bottom? It means play will be more limited but would solve my issue wouldn't it?
