Broken META QUEST 2 VR Headset - Can I FIX it?

Your perseverence on this was unbelievable. That ribbon cable micro soldering is really amazing. Just look how far you have come in the past few years. I love watching your repairs on random things. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Vince for persevering making this video. It always amazes me how incredibly tiny these connections are, you holding your finger next to it doesn't even do it justice.

You are a master of your craft. it’s admirable that you also post your videos even if you can fix it

Great Effort Vince👍. Sometimes I think you have a lot more patience than me! Shame it was all so badly corroded on a plus side though you have a lot of spare parts now to repair another one. I had seen a few of these on eBay and had thought about getting one myself to have a mess with. Keep up the great work!

What a testament to Vince's abilities now that he can make such progress soldering these tiny connectors. This and anytime he reflows surface mount parts blows my mind. Well done Vince! You've come a long way!!!!

Hi Vince, I have a quest 2 here with a broken screen, I think everything else works on it (can’t remember) drop us a message if you want it for connectors and replacement parts. (It’s Gavin with the ps5 from Hell 😂)

Cheers Vince, right impressed you went to all that trouble to fix the headset. The video's a right good watch.

Hey Vince! You can use an application called Sidequest on your PC to disable the proximity sensor through ADB automatically. If you can set it up through the app, enable developer mode and then youre good to go!

Anything from my mate Vince is well worth a watch ! 👍

This one was quite the ride ! Really enjoyed it 👌

Well done! Your microsoldering was fantastic and I learned a ton!

Amazing , wish I had those skills to do that. Can not wait until we get more videos , especially the car!

I've been dreaming of the day one these turned up on your channel!

@my mate Vince. I will try and explain how to fix this in a short time.strip it down. Now at the connector get a reading from the pins on the proximity connector one by one. By turning it on connected to multi or oscilscope and wait for it to turn off eventually you will find the pin, then solder a wire to short it and now it will stay on. I can not remember the pin it was that does this. But had a similar problem and this worked. It just basically tells the system it's on your head. Downside is it won't go into standby when you take it off, just remember to turn it off. This will work for other systems that use this feature.

Looking forward to watching this one, thanks Vince!

Nice video. Definitely interested to see more of these VR head sets in your videos!

Ooh I really like this one! I never tryed a vr headset since nintendo virtual boy, it would be nice to try but i use only one eye at a time and I'm abit sceptical , alot of nice Waffeling and a huge amount of entertainment thank you!❤

Loved it. Good fault finding also

Wow vince what an effort did you make for this video, thank you , i like your videos and ofcourse i'd rather see you succeed, it was very interesting!❤

Hey Vince today I tried for the first time great hardware.
