It is possible, but it is a bit of an involved process. Sony did make a Teardown Video, and it does not seem that replacing the cable is that difficult. You'll need to remove the headband from the goggles as shown in the 0:30 mark, and then disassemble the headband as shown at the 9:00 mark. Hopefully, this is helpful.

Its only theoretically possible at this point! While yes the breakdown video does show the cable is removable and therefore possible to replace. The replacement parts needed have not been made available to the public. Hopefully this will change in the near future but for now your only option is to go through PlayStation support and I've seen posts on other forums saying that Sony is charging up to $300 for an out of warranty cable replacement if its due to user damage and not a defect.

I have a frame with cable from a version 1 and I want to install it into a version 2. Will this allow me to operate the version 2. My cat severed the cable on the version 2.
I'm wondering the same thing. I've had it since launch, and my cat apparently got bored last night and started gnawing on it while I was playing. Didn't completely chew through it, but may have punctured enough for the headset to cut out. Unplugging it from the console and plugging it back in got it powered back on. Seemed to be working fine. I'm assuming it could be soldered if the damage is severe enough, but I'm not going to try that until it happens/if I know for sure how easy/difficult it is.

My dog thought I was playing with her and ran up to me and hit the cable and ripped it out. Now the USB-C is all bent to hell. I looked and it can be taken apart. I just need a new cable or maybe see if I can fix it.

How did you do it? And what cord?

It is not very easy but I have been able to repair cut cables on the psvr2. It doesn't look pretty but it works. The connector is also replaceble but it is not as strong as the original and I highly recommend using a small dongle extention afterwards to avoid straining the replaced connector again.

Hey bud, what type of usb c did you use it??
espero que responda el amigo de arriba, tambien estoy esperando alguna solucion, soy de chile y el soporte de play cobra 30 dolares para "revisarlo" si cubre garantia (lo cual no es mi caso y el de muchos) te descuentan los 30 en el precio final, desconozco alguna otra posible solucion, pero pagar 300 dolares por solo el cable? prefiero ahorrar por uno nuevo..
I contacted Sony today. They told me that any usb-c 3.2 cable will work.
I bought this from amazon today.

Along with a magnetic usb-c adapter. In case of trips, the headset will deploy without damaging the usb-c.

Hope this helps!

Hi! Can you please tell me how you contacted them? And the headset has a different connector, not USB-C.

I don't think anyone is answering the question. He wants to replace the cable. You only need the first 40 seconds of the video..... but where do you get the cable???
