HTC Vive Controller: Is there any way I could buy a replacement track pad?

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 14:03:28 -0700

Okay so, I found out specifically that on one of my controllers the haptic feedback and sound is not working. The reason why is because there is a thin ribbon cable that tends to brake inside the controller, as seen here that causes the feedback and sound to not work. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase a replacement trackpad. Please and Thank you.

HTC Vive Pro: Will your Vive Pro Headphone replacement part fit the Vive Pro2?

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 06:54:53 -0700

Hi, I have a Vive Pro 2 Headset and the left earphone is failing [sound stops playing on the left side]. Will your replacement part [Item # IF453-028-1 HTC Vive Pro Headphones] fit the Vive Pro 2 headset?

I have already removed the left earphone and verified that the contacts are clean. The sound is intermittent. I need a replacement part for the left earphone that has the volume control button.

Has anyone successfully used these replacement headphones on a Vive Pro 2 Headset?

Thank you,

Edward

HTC Vive: htc vive deluxe strap, headphone screw wont tighten

Sat, 05 Nov 2022 02:09:46 -0700

I bought a used deluxe audio strap from ebay and 1 headphone side isnt connected and constantly falls off, so i went to youtube and saw that i need to tighten the middle screw from behind the padding, but it doesnt get tightened at all, the screw itself looks fine i think so im not sure what to try now, my only other idea is that its related to the metal part that its supposed to be screwing into in the headphone

----- edit

after some more trying i think it is from the tiny metal part, i cant seem to get the screw to screw into it which i can on the side that is working, is it possible in any way to replace it? i dont know where i'd get that replacement piece (willing to buy) and i dont know which tool lets me remove it (i assume its the circular thing on the side)

HTC Vive Cosmos: Need a guide for taking apart the Vive Cosmos controller for cleaning.

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 23:47:37 -0700

I recently had an issue with my Vive Cosmos controller where one of the buttons began to stick and I have been unable to find any tear downs or other such guides for these controllers. Can anyone provide me with this information? I managed to somewhat fix the issue by pouring IPA down in to the button and exercising it until it wasn’t as bad but I feel this is only a temporary solution. In my attempt to dismantle it myself I also appear to have damaged the haptic feedback motor on that controller but can’t repair it until I can get it fully disassembled.

HTC Vive: dust specs on the oled screen

Sat, 14 Sep 2019 16:22:49 -0700

I dropped my headset and the left lens popped out. I carefully placed it back into the socket only to find that there is now a hair and a couple pieces of dust stuck to the oled screen inside. I have seen the teardown guides to get all the way down to the screens, but is there a simpler way of just re-removing the lens itself and then carefully cleaning the inside from there?

HTC Vive: Oculus Lenses on HTC Vive?

Mon, 15 Aug 2016 04:18:47 -0700

Hi guys! I think this is mainly for the staff at iFixit. Hearing about the difference in "screen door effect" when comparing the HTC Vive to the Oculus Rift, I can't help but wonder how much relates to lenses vs display and if it would be possible to swap the lenses. There aren't many folks who have disassembled versions around and I know it would be of major interest to a lot of VR enthusiasts.

It seems like the screens are similar but not identicle in size (90mm vs 91.8ishmm?), the lens to screen distance might be different, and I suppose if they display the content differently that would be another challenge. I'm curious if you would consider an experiment to swap the lenses to see what effect that might have. Thanks!

HTC: HTC Vive Wireless Adapter will not power on

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 16:00:13 -0700

Functioned well, until (about 3 months ago) it didn't. Now the Vive Wireless adapter may not turn on at random. Sometimes takes about 5 minutes after connecting the battery before finally powering on. Other times may not acknowledge power for days. :-( May or may not power back up if need arises to switch batteries for continued play. Or, may power up and shut off a few times before finally holding power to sync to my rig. No trauma to device. Changing USB cable(s) yields same result. Batteries fully charged. No issue with headset hardwired. Opening the adapter, noticed a pin hole to a button at the back of the device. (???) Prayed it was a reset... pushed the !&&* out of it of course. Once opened I found the right receiver micro-coax female connector totally missing from the end of the cable at the board. (?HUH... HOW?) Replaced with new MHF4 cable. Granted, this one does not quite mate as snug to the onboard male terminals. Nothing a little tape wouldn't secure. Suggestions for correct RF cable are appreciated. No other apparent sign of damage to boards or components. Though likely not, nor should that receiver cable be the culprit, power was restored after reassembly. Got a few weeks play out of it, albeit with some sporadic lag to powering on. Could live with that tho. At least it worked. Now... going on second day with no sign of power. My kid doesn't know yet... she's not gon like it. Much rather fix it than drop another $350 for another if I can help it. All great ideas and guidance, welcome!
