I'm having some issues. I've had my Rift for a few months now. But for a few weeks now it has been unplugged and put away. I have just got it back out to play and it will not power up. I have the power adapter connected and plugged into the wall, I also have the USB connected. I do not have the HDMI in yet as I wanted to get it powered on before disconnecting my current secondary monitor. Any ideas? If there is any other information you need please ask. I will continue to try and get it working.
A quick question. I am hearing rattling inside the box unit, (The bit with all the connections; USB, HDMI, POWER, ETC). Do I risk breaking any returns policies or warranty if I open this up to take a look?
I've got a feeling I know what might be wrong. Before I put it away I had it sat next to me plugged in, and I remember hearing a very loud pop/bang. I assumed it was a fizzy drinks bottle behind me. I've got a horrible feeling that it was the Rift. Surely I must be covered for a replacement? It blew itself up!
Yup, that sounds bad. Maybe a short caused a capacitor to blow. The control box should power on without USB, HDMI, or DVI connected. I believe you can contact support for replacement.
Just thought I would give a little update. I have contacted support, and they have offered me a replacement. They are going to supply me with a return shipping label for the faulty unit, and they have put me in queue for a new one.
