Valve Index Controller: Battery Replacement for Index Controllers

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 22:41:00 -0700

In February we were promised guides and parts for the valve but this place is empty and void of any valve teardowns or parts. What happened? Was the plan scraped? Lots of users need new batteries for the controllers, some of those devices are 3 years old now.

It’s still the 2nd most popular vr headset on the market.

Meta Quest 2: Why does my left controller stick have drift?

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 22:52:18 -0700

I was playing the walking dead: saints and sinners for the first time and I noticed I was slowly strafing to the right. I took it as the game's push mechanic and just kept playing. I then hopped onto vrchat, and truly noticed the stick drift. I haven't seen any repair guides for the quest’s controllers, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a fix?

Valve Index Controller: Thumbstick drifting in neutral position of it

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 15:58:15 -0700

Left hand thumbstick is in neutral position but game character moves on.
You have to push and pull the thumbstick in different directions to stop the drifting.
How to fix that?

I want to make myself a charging dock out of the box the headset came in but I'd need to know the pinout and possible handshake I would need to mimic. Could anyone who has the dock measure the voltages and see/record and communication over the data pin?

HTC Vive XR Elite: Stock item hasn't been in stock in months

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 02:02:05 -0700

I have been watching the following item for the past 4 months - HTC Vive XR Elite Right Inner Temple Cover

It has been out of stock for literally ever. Please tell me how or where else I can get this because without it I am unable to play my vr. Vive itself doesn't sell it and I can't find it anywhere else on sites like ebay. I've already contacted the ifixit email but all they told me was that they don't have it in stock and aren't planning on making any more orders for it, also to find it on amazon or make a question on here.

well I let my brother borrow my oculus quest 2 expecting to get it back in the same good condition, but he gave it back with a lot of yellow dots and lines. I'm guessing this is sun damage. I want to know if its possible to replace the display, and if you can how?

Oculus Rift CV1: Ribbon cable (headphones/rear tracking sensors) broken

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 15:01:02 -0700

Hey guys...

Some days ago, I bought one CV1 it from a friend. But unfortunately in the transport the ribbon cable in headband it broke. I tried repair this ribbon cable but I don't had success. I tried talk with the Oculus Support...I asked if they send me another headband for make my rift 100% again but apparently, they do not want help me. I know how disassembly/assembly my rift, this is no worry for me...but they said basically "Sorry to hear that Rift was damaged"...short answer: buy another one.

Anyone can help me about this problem? How can repair? Where find something that can use for fix?

I tried amend the ribbon cable using wires but when I test continuity with multimeter any pin doesn't work.

1- Before try fix, I tested continuity between this pins and the headphone pins, it's working.

2- I received the oculus in this situation. I needed cut the ribbon cable after this hole because was torn.

3- Conversation with the Oculus Support Team

3 - Soldered pins with wires in the both sides, at the moment, all that's fine. I tested again the continuity between the blue wire sides, it's working too...but if a test between the blue wire side and headphone contact...not working :( (maybe why I use this wire? need another wire type?)

4 - Another picture without zoom

Oculus Rift CV1: Any suggestions on cable repair.

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:29:37 -0700

Bought a headset from a friend. cable leading to the HDMI and USB split was badly twisted some how and I believe there is a broken wire. Any suggestions? PC identifies headset, and I am able to get sound and tracking. But no visuals within the headset itself.

Valve Index Headset: Headset completely lacking sound, Valve support says I can repair it?

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 05:21:10 -0700

Long story short, something about my HMD is wrong. Valve support won't help me much further than "you bought it from a 3rd party seller so we won't give you a new one but you can buy another one or go to iFixIt." The HMD does not produce sound. Not via the speakers nor the 3.5mm jack. The problem persists between computers, where windows says it is sending sound, but the headset does not receive it. What could I even replace to fix this problem? is it possible it's really just the cable and not the HMD?
