    • First step is to remove the foam around the Oculus.

    • Foam is glued on a plastic frame that is clipped on the main box. You need to remove foam and plastic frame together.

    • There is no complexity in removing this part. As far as I can tell, it is not even clipped. It's just laid inside the box.

    • First picture shows the part once removed

    • Second picture is the delimitation of this part on the box

    • Third picture show how the cable is running under the foam. Which means removing the foam doesn't affect the cable.

    • Second step is to unplug the Oculus.

    • There is a single cable plugged inside the box using a regular HDMI-looking-like cable.

    • You just need to gently pull this cable

    • First picture is the socket, once the cable is unplugged

    • Additionally, you have to remove a plastic clip that is holding the cable to the oculus frame (shown on picture 2)

    • That's where it really begins. We are now trying to remove the mask inside the oculus (shown on the first picture)

    • There are three parts on this mask (see second picture) 1. the outside plastic frame (green), 2. two inside plastic frame (purple) 3. A black fabric .

    • Both frames are fixed on the box, you have to release both of them.

    • In following steps we'll see how to release it.

    • The outside frame is fixed by 6 screws and multiple clips. You first have to release screws.

    • Screws position are shown on picture one and detailed on other pictures.

    • You need a very small T3 torx screwdriver to remove them. I had to buy a specific one, because the one I owned was too thick.

    • Additionally to the screws, the outside frame of the mask has clips on the left-most and the right-most part of the mask.

    • You can see it on the first picture.

    • To remove them I just had to put a silicon opening tool like shown on the second picture and to slide it like to the position shown on the third picture.

    • The inside frames are firmly gripped on the lens by three clips. They are *not* easy to release.

    • First picture shows the clips on the inside frame (once removed)

    • Second and third pictures shows 3 of the 6 clips sockets (once the mask removed)

    • Next step shows how I released the first of the 6 clips

    • This part really is tricky. I assume they are many way to do it, here is the one I figured out.

    • Once the outside frame is released (as seen in previous steps), you may pull this frame to see one of the six clips. As shown in picture 1.

    • Using the nose shape you are able to slide an opening tool under this clip.

    • The position of the opening tool is shown on the first picture.

    • On the second picture I tried to show how the opening tool is able to slide under the clip (highlighted in green)

    • It is not easy to access. Therefore it is not easy to do. I also is not easy to take a picture of. So I added the third picture, hopefully you may see what you need on one of them.

    • Once the first clip is released, the other ones are easier to access.

    • Now the inside mask is released you may watch what is inside your Oculus.

    • Specifically, you can see that the rear ribbon cable is completely messed up and torn (green part on the picture one)

    • According to other internet sources, including iFixIt teardown , we now are supposed to release the electronic part from the box as shown on (borrowed) picture 3

    • Unfortunately, that's what I failed to completely achieve. See below the issue.

  9. Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release the main screws: passo 9, immagine 1 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release the main screws: passo 9, immagine 2 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release the main screws: passo 9, immagine 3 di 3
    • There are 4 main screws that are holding the electronic to the box.

    • On this step's pictures you can see the screw holes once those four scews are removed.

    • I used a standard screwdriver to easily release them.

  10. Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release three additional tiny screws: passo 10, immagine 1 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release three additional tiny screws: passo 10, immagine 2 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Release three additional tiny screws: passo 10, immagine 3 di 3
    • There are at least two tiny screws that are holding the electronic frame to the google. You can see them on pictures 1 and 2.

    • And another one that is holding the lens button you will need to remove in the next step. You can see it on picture 3

    • I used T3 torx screwdriver to release them.

  11. Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Disassemble the Lens button: passo 11, immagine 1 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Disassemble the Lens button: passo 11, immagine 2 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Disassemble the Lens button: passo 11, immagine 3 di 3
    • Be aware you need to release one screw in the previous step if you want to do this step

    • You just need an opening tool to disassemble the lens button.

    • Pictures are self-explanatory.

  12. Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, And now I fail to remove the last screw: passo 12, immagine 1 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, And now I fail to remove the last screw: passo 12, immagine 2 di 3 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, And now I fail to remove the last screw: passo 12, immagine 3 di 3
    • At this stage, you will almost be able to release the electronic frame from the googles (see picture 1).

    • But on the upper side of the googles there is one inaccessible screw I don't know how to reach (see pictures 2 and 3)

    • If someone knows how to do that, please reach me, I'll push this tutorial further

  13. Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Checking that it's a failure: passo 13, immagine 1 di 2 Oculus Rift CV1 - open it, Checking that it's a failure: passo 13, immagine 2 di 2
    • As you can see, sliding an opening tool between the electronic frame and the googles, confirms that there is something to release at the place where this screw is.

    • On this other borrowed picture (picture 2) we can see there is a socket for either the screw I cannot remove or a clip I do not understand.

Conclusione

If someone is able to help for the last step I’ll be pleased to go further.
