How common are quest fires!
Lol, no idea. She mentioned hers was melted and wouldn't charge and asked if I wanted it while I was on that side of the country. The plastic around the USB charging port was completely melted/burned. Luckily the port itself is mounted on its own daughterboard and I just build/wired up a new one.
Ended up with a Quest 3 shortly after experimenting.
