HTC Vive Controller: Why do my controllers lose tracking in view of both base stations?

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 16:14:12 -0700

I’ve noticed in the last few weeks my controllers lost tracking on occasion even though they’re in plain view of both base stations. I have the base stations set up with the link wire that allows them to communicate even if one of them can’t see the tracker.

HTC Vive Controller: Vive Wand Controller loose tracking?: Reason, fixing (soldering)?

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 08:04:37 -0700

First, the hand flies away more and more. Then, the hand disappears completely. No more tracking. Knocking on the unmoved controller seems to provoke it.

is it possible that there are contact problems with solder joints or even under BGA chips? And is there a method to fix the error? With normal solder joints you can melt them again. With BGA chips it is a bit more complex, but not impossible.

So please state the cause if known. Even if you could not fix it yourself.

This fault may be THE electrical fault (besides mechanical) and it would be very helpful if the cause became known. I have another controller and would like to repair it.

I have my Vive wand sitting here open and I do not see the rumble motor, I can feel it is in the grip section and I do not see it in the tear down guide either.

Also, you don’t have to take the 3 internal saucer screws out to open the grip compartment.
