Oculus Rift CV1: Esiste la possibilità di sostituire la mother board?

Mon, 25 Mar 2019 06:20:43 -0700

Il mio OCULUS Rift VC1 non visualizza più le immagini. Si sente il suono ma gli schermi restano spenti. Credo che sia un problema di motherboard. E’ possibile sostituirla? Dove, eventualmente si compra la motherboard di ricambio?

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

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 20:15:33 -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

Meta Quest 3S: Meta Quest 3S right controller connects and vibrates but does not track or show up in headset

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 08:21:39 -0700

My Meta Quest 3S right controller connects and vibrates, lights up when buttons are pressed, but no pointer or controller appears in the headset. I have already tried restarting the headset, removing/replacing the controller batteries for 30 seconds, unpairing and re-pairing the controller via the Meta Horizon app, and ensuring the tracking cameras and lighting are clean. What else can I do to fix this?

Meta Quest 3: Update and restart loop

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 01:28:35 -0700

I have bought this device used, so I have no warranty.

The device keeps updating and restarting, side load update didn't work because the site said incompatible device or something like that, and factory reset didn't work either (it reseted and still had the loop).

Is there some different manual way to fix that, maybe somehow completely wiping the quest 3's SSD and manually installing the OS?

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

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:51:07 -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?

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

Meta Quest 3S: How do I fix meta quest 3s controller button?

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:28:00 -0700

I got some wd40 to help with a stick drift issue, but some of the wd40 got onto one of the controller buttons, and now it's not responding to my input. I'm still able to press the button, but it doesn't make the same sound compared to the rest of the buttons on my controllers when i press them. It's been quiet after i heard a crunching sound when i pressed it after the wd40 i put on the joysticks was able to dry.

What do i do? Am i able to fix it, or do i need a new controller all together?
