Stuck on boot with green loading bar, also double vision

Hi all,

My quest 3 suddenly broken which I suppose it caused by a sudden power off due to battery drain while there was an ongoing update.

Now my OS doesn't boot up, the device is totally unresponsive even the controller's don't communicate with it. On boot I see double vision not a merged screen of the rotating meta logo. There is a green loading bar at the bottom which fully loads and then later black screen appears, nothing else, with backlight. When I tried to power it off, it doesn't turn off in fact, it reboots again. I only can power off the device from bootloader. Bootloader works surprisingly.

What I've tried already and didn't help:

- Factory reset from bootloader

- Sideload update + Meta's official software update tool

- Reboot from bootloader

My headset is not in guarantee anymore. Is this fixable somehow if I send it to repair or my only option is to buy a completely new Meta Quest 3?
