Im having the exact same issue and it didnt start until just recently after the updates(two or three days ago). Ive tried everything, but the problem still persists. Ive wiggled the cable for the headset around to see if it was the issue, but it doesnt seem to make a difference. Ive tried different USB ports, ive tried repairing the oculus app, all windows and gfx card updates installed and up-to-date, I joined the beta channel for the Oculus app, and ive even set up my Oculus on a complettely different PC thats never had any sort of VR software on it. 

Oculus CV1
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 - Driver Ver. 430.86
i7-8700k Stock no overclock
8GB Ram
Windows 10 Pro 

The headset was working perfectly fine until recently. The issue also seems to just happen at random. Ive had moments of it working for at least a few hours with no issues and then other times where it happens every few minutes and even stops working until i unplug it and plug it back in. As the OP mentioned the screen will go black, the headset indicator will be orange, but will turn off when you place on the headset (or block the sensor) instead of going white. Audio and Tracking continue to work normally regardless of the screen.

I read that on laptops of nvidia optimus there may be a problem,as I understand from nvidia optimus in port hdmi displayed integrated video card and not discrete, because of this Oculus Rift does not display images and the orange light is on.
Question to support indeed this problem may be due nvidia optimus or is it the problem itself Oculus Rift ?

Have same problem, appeared some days ago. I suspect that just after update if firmware from Oculus. I was try all methods including re-installing firmware with deleting all remains, re-connecting devices, etc. Result - no image in Oculus, orange light.

For MSI laptop users most common recent fix (for rift s) has been to use older drivers (usually the latest device specifig drivers from MSI support site). May work for rift cv1 too... worth checking.
Also recent oculus update may have caused some issues for people who have extended ascii characters on their windows username.
There has and can be numerous other issues with laptops, so these are just random suggestions mainly to the ones who had their stuff working before some update went wrong.

Happened to me too on my CV1, working fine one day a few days later black screen. I have spent days trying all the posted fixes around the issue without a resolution. Even swapped out my HDMI cable as a last resort. Logged with Oculus, now we all sit around and wait for a fix, while the company is all consumed with the S and quest launch.

Same Problem here...I just bought the headset and can't even finish the damn setup...
I was so hyped to use it. Having friends over this weekend and now the shit doesn't work. I've been up all night going through forums and what not. No answer. Nothing I do helps. Might just give up on VR completely.

All I wanted was for the F***ing thing to work. But ofc it doesn't. Either this "high tech" Equipment ist just crap or I'm too stupid to use it. Or it hates me and just doesn't want to be used.
