PlayStation VR2: PSVR2 stuck at "look at the tv" animation.

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 23:46:56 -0700

I'm trying to figure out whether my PSVR2 isn't working because of the cable or something else in the headset.
I bought it used for a good price, and the seller did say that the main cable sometimes disconnects, but that it still works.
I bought it mainly for PC and got a third party adapter. I've Tried 3 different DisplayPort cables (one that came with the adapter and two DP 2.1 cables).
The PlayStation VR2 App gives the error: "DisplayPort cable doesn't meet the specs."
SteamVR gives Error 436 (Display Connection Trouble).
I also tried it on a PS5:
The headset powers on.
I can go through the initial setup.
The PS5 detects the headset's movement/tracking. (Sometimes this also happens on PC in SteamVR, and it shows FPS and latency.)
The displays inside the headset work because I can see the "Look at the TV" animation.
However, it never switches into VR mode and just stays on the "Look at the TV" animation.
And also sometimes I can use the passthrough while on PC.

I went to a repair shop and they resoldered the USB c end, they didn't change it because they don't have the exact part, and still same things happening.

So, could it be still from the cable, or something else?

Meta Quest 3: Screens not turning on

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 03:27:51 -0700

Yoo Ifixit folks!

I've got a quest 3 of which both the displays don't turn on.

If i spam the on button i sometimes get a white flash, nothing else.

Sound works, charging works fine, controllers give haptic feedback and sounds indicate i am passing by menu buttons. Only no display what so ever, not even backlight. I had it functioning and was able to see everything happening by streaming it to thw mobile app but I have factory reset it through the app and now I don't know where I am in the setup steps haha.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem.could be? Would it be worth opening it up and maybe check on cables? Or is mainboard possibly done for?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

Ps, no, I have no warranty on it

Greets,

Patrick

Valve Index Headset: Microphone nonfunctional, steam support useless

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:09:38 -0700

My index mic suddenly stopped registering any sound, its not muted in software anywhere I've checked a hundred times reinstalled steamvr tried anything and everything it shows up in drivers and all that but it just has zero audio input. What would I have to do to fix that, I can provide more information if need be, steam support has basically told me to get bent even though they've helped me before with a base station so...

Meta Quest 3S: My Meta Quest 3S has a black screen after recommend fix of a sensor

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:10:17 -0700

(I am an owner of a Meta Quest 3S and the problem at hand is that the headset is stuck In a black screen but what happens is that there is still audio and the use of menú buttons still emits sound and the start up animation still reproduces and the boot menu is still accessible and visible but menús, power options, turn off & on pop ups are not visible as well as the cameras

The meta quest forum and the reddit community offered the idea to factory reset and to update using the side load update through the official meta quest web and the original problem of the menú just appearing and the controllers bring useless i reset it and the result was that the proximity error disappeared but the black screen is still there

Soy dueño de un casco Meta Quest 3S y el problema que ha ocurrido es que la pantalla del casco se queda en negro pero aún emite sonido se puede escuchar el abrir y cerrar de menús y se puede ver qué la pantalla sigue funcional ya que se pueden ver la animación de inicio y el menú de booteo es funcional se ve y funciona pero los menús, opciones de apagado y avisos de apagado no son visibles al igual que las cámaras

La comunidad de meta Quest en reddit y el foro oficial me han dicho de formatear el casco y utilizar la opción de actualizar a través de side load desde la página oficial de meta Quest una vez actualizado el error original de la pantalla de buscando posición en sala no fue un problema pero la pantalla en negro sigue siendo un problema constante

Valve Index Headset: Can the microphone be replaced/fixed?

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 18:10:39 -0700

I just recently bought a used Valve Index. Despite what I try I can’t seem to get the mic to work at all. I’ve listen to multiple online forums and videos and NOTHING has worked. I’ve made sure it wasn’t muted anywhere, this is including SteamVR and the control panel. Windows picks up the mic and displays it at the default but the mic just doesn’t work. Even plugging in my regular gaming headset to the Index, the mic from my gaming headset doesn’t get picked up but I can hear the sounds. Can the Valve Index mic be replaced or fixed? Where would I take it? Can I do it myself?
