PlayStation VR2: My R1 button is no longer clicky, not registering

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 18:22:41 -0700

Long story, but I had to get into the right Sense controller, to fix drift. The drift has been fixed, but I must've put it back together wrong, as the R1 button no longer works. It's also not as clicky as L1.

I took it back apart, and from what I can tell, mine looks the same as the teardown videos. The only thing I can maybe think of, is the spring got slightly damaged? I don't know, it looks fine, maybe a little bit stretched in the final "coil' of it. Is there something else that could be causing the lack of click? I can't find the exact spring size, so I'm unable to get a new one to try it. If anyone has any insight, it would be super appreciated!

PlayStation VR: Why won’t my headset turn on?

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 22:52:11 -0700

My headset has been working fine up until now. It works with little to no problems and I thought since it’s gotten so old (it’s the first PS4 version) it would run into them eventually. But, this time it just won’t turn on at all. The PS4 knows it’s connected but it won’t turn on. I’ve tried plugging it in and out again and checked the cables (we use some of the cables for other things) so I know they work by themselves. Is there anything else I could do? Thanks.

PlayStation VR: Is it safe to plug my psvr in the philippines that I bought here in ja

Sun, 14 Mar 2021 16:15:25 -0700

I just want to ask if Is it safe to plug my psvr its indicate a 7A 125V power cable to a 220V socket? The AC adapter can accept 100-240V, and 50-60Hz so I am kind of worried about the power cable itself that is only rated for 7A 125V.because i bought it in Japan and the volt in the Philippines is 220v .so if its safe to directly plug? I hope anyone can solve it ??

PlayStation VR: Garbled display on one eye

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 02:29:28 -0700

Hi, my PSVR suddenly started to display (mostly) garbage on the right eye.

I took it apart, and this is what the PSVR screen looks like:

Interestingly, this started happening right after PSVR firmware upgrade, maybe a month ago. Does anyone have similar issues? How to go about fixing this?

PlayStation VR: The processor unit for the PSVR does not output to TV

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 08:10:30 -0700

PlayStation VR: What are these white lines? (Not dead pixels).

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 00:44:16 -0700

This is a picture taken with my phone of the PSVR lens. Not a tv image

This is my 2nd PSVR, I hardly play it but just went to put it on and notice these white lines in the top left corner. Does anyone know what this is.

Tried isolating any light leaking in but it’s not that. They show up when I look away from the menu too, although they are slightly fainter.

This was also on the last headset I had, which I returned due to dead pixels.

Any advice greatly appreciated, as dealing with the staff at Noel Leeming’s here in New Zealand is like trying to explain algebra.

PlayStation VR: What is the headrest material made out of?

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 08:43:17 -0700

The headrest and back rest material is coming off exposing the foam behind it. What is that material made of? I know it’s some type of moisture wicking material, but I’d love to try to find out exactly so I can replace it.

PlayStation VR: Why can't I turn on my PS VR headset?

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 22:33:50 -0700

I've been having trouble with my PS VR headset recently. The processing unit seems to be working fine as it has a red light on when the PS4 is off and a solid white light when the PS4 is on. However, although the VR headset is connected to the processing unit directly, nothing happens (no beep sound nor any lights on the headset come on) when I press the 'ON' button on the inline remote. I've checked all of the cables and nothing seems to be wrong. As my VR headset is out of warranty and I have spent a fortune on the headset, I really need the VR headset to work again. What should I do?
