Introduzione

Use this guide to remove or replace the front panel on the HTC Vive controller. Be careful not to tear the ribbon cables or any of the connectors they correspond to while removing the front panel.

  1. Turn over the Vive controller so that the bottom saucer is facing up. Use the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove three black 21mm screws from the bottom saucer. Use the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove three black 21mm screws from the bottom saucer.

    Where can I buy new t5 21 mm screws? Mine are getting stripped out!

  2. Use the nylon spudger to separate the top and bottom saucer covers all around the edges. Remove only the top saucer cover by pulling up with your hand.

    My top saucer was REALLY stubborn. Don’t force it with your hand, use the spudger to separate it at the seam. Try not to poke your spudger in too deep, there are internals just inside the seam.

    The second time around, I learned why it was so stubborn. The picture suggests that you should start at the base of the saucer and work your way around, but that’s backwards.

    Start separating with your spudger at the distal side of the saucer and work your way toward the handle. Then for the last part, pull the piece up and away, like peeling a banana. See the second picture for the bottom half of the saucer, below. Do the same on the top.

    It’s Phillips 0, not 00.

    You do not need to remove these screws to remove the bottom saucer. They provide stability to the two halves of the donut.

    I had the same experience. Putting the screws back in made the bottom shell easier to remove.

    I concur, you don’t need to remove these screws to take the bottom shell off.

    I found mine had ph#000 screws size, not ph#00.

  4. Carefully pull away the bottom saucer cover with your hand. To aid in removing the saucer cover, squeeze the base of the controller with your other hand, as shown in the second image of this step.

    I found the re-assembly of this difficult until I concentrated on two areas - the lugs which go into the handle first, then the central ring. My earlier concern was for the optical sensors on the wings but these snapped into place easily as the central ring was manoeuvred.

    Leave the middle screw where it is (the one being unscrewed in the picture). That screw holds the two halves of the photodiode assembly together, not the case.

    You do not have to remove the ribbon cables from the plugs…you can carefully work the battery holder around them and remove it…being very gentle. And the black part of the handle will stay attached to the cables and be in the way. But removing the cables does make it easier to access the area for the battery, just not completely necessary.
