I think it's gone. I installed oculus software on my laptop. I connected USB and HDMI but nothing. White led inside the Rift doesn't light up and the device is not detected... How is it possible?
No I did not. I didn't even know it was possible. It does make sense: cable was twisted around the HMD when it stopped working. I give it a try as soon as I get home and let you know. Thank you.
I reseated the cable on the HMD but nothing to do. When I plug in the USB cable in the PC port the led in the HMD lights up YELLOW but Oculus panel does not detect any connection. When I plug in the HDMI cable in the graphic card port nothing happens. Any idea?
I gess it's a cable issue. Today I'm going to a friend of mine to test my rift with his working cable. Warranty ended in october. I don't understand why Oculus stopped distribution of spare cables, considering they are so prone to fault. Probably they want us to buy a new headset, but probably it will not be an Oculus. Anyway it's a shame that my (and so many) VR system now is useless junk just beacuse of a stupid cable. Is it possible there is no third party spare cable in the market?
No 3rd party cables have been made available at this time. And to my knowledge, no persons or company have put their hand up to manufacture them. Oculus support standard answer for faulted CV1 cable(s) outside of warranty is, "Just buy a Rift-S" or "Buy a refurbished CV1" which completely blows. Let us know how your test goes. I won't buy another Oculus hardware product again.
