Oculus Rift CV1: Ribbon cable (headphones/rear tracking sensors) broken

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 15:01:02 -0700

Hey guys...

Some days ago, I bought one CV1 it from a friend. But unfortunately in the transport the ribbon cable in headband it broke. I tried repair this ribbon cable but I don't had success. I tried talk with the Oculus Support...I asked if they send me another headband for make my rift 100% again but apparently, they do not want help me. I know how disassembly/assembly my rift, this is no worry for me...but they said basically "Sorry to hear that Rift was damaged"...short answer: buy another one.

Anyone can help me about this problem? How can repair? Where find something that can use for fix?

I tried amend the ribbon cable using wires but when I test continuity with multimeter any pin doesn't work.

1- Before try fix, I tested continuity between this pins and the headphone pins, it's working.

2- I received the oculus in this situation. I needed cut the ribbon cable after this hole because was torn.

3- Conversation with the Oculus Support Team

3 - Soldered pins with wires in the both sides, at the moment, all that's fine. I tested again the continuity between the blue wire sides, it's working too...but if a test between the blue wire side and headphone contact...not working :( (maybe why I use this wire? need another wire type?)

4 - Another picture without zoom

Oculus Rift CV1: Any suggestions on cable repair.

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:29:37 -0700

Bought a headset from a friend. cable leading to the HDMI and USB split was badly twisted some how and I believe there is a broken wire. Any suggestions? PC identifies headset, and I am able to get sound and tracking. But no visuals within the headset itself.

My display cord is disconnecting and reconnecting it happens every 1-5 minutes and goes dark for about 30 seconds every time I’m pretty sure it is my display cable every time it disconnects it says it is disconnected on the oculus app.

Oculus Rift S: Can I fix the tracking on the headset

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 00:43:43 -0700

my headset keeps loosing the tracking no matter how much light or dim or no light there is. It should work and it did in the past but not anymore, it holds the trackign for a short time then says "lost tracking" and it can't get the tracking back. Is there a way to fix this? so it can keep holding the tracking and not loose it a few min after

Oculus Touch: How does the index trigger work?

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 23:47:39 -0700

How does the controller knows you actually clicked? because I hit my controller on the desk kinda hard by mistake but now the back trigger is always on like you are physically pressing it non stop. I tried connecting only the battery circuit with the second circuit that have the buttons on it and did not connect the thin circuit that connects to the trigger and I was surprised that it’s still doing the same thing.. automatically pressing the index trigger. If you can tell me how it works maybe I can figure out why it’s doing that?

Oculus Rift CV1: Operating CV1 with headstrap removed.

Fri, 13 Jan 2017 11:24:13 -0700

I'm looking to remove the headstrap from the CV1 (I'll be working with a group of clinical patients where wearing the headstrap is not possible. I know from the iFixit tear-down that there is a ribbon cable running through the strap, connecting to the headphones (which will not be used), and the IR LEDs on the back of the device (which also will not be used). I would like to know if the CV1 will run with this ribbon cable removed, or if it's possible to detach it from the strap and reroute it somehow?

Any thoughts?
