Just discovered my HDMI pins are bent too. Has been working OK for the last 1.5 months, but I can only use an DVI->HDMI adapter. It doesn't work if I plug it directly into the HDMI connector on my GTX 970.
There has been some discussion of damaged pins, I thought I'd take the time to show you what this can look like, and still function via the adapter.
In this shot, you can clearly see three missing pins in the top row.
The full connector, you can see the bent pins.
Here's the connector flipped, and the two pins are smashed into the bottom of the connector.
Normally I fix this sort of stuff, but these are sufficiently bent I'm not sure I can get these back, and am hesitant that they are still making mostly correct contact.
I've put in a request with support, and we did the usual stupid dance of 'plug and unplug both ends', even after sending these photos. But anyway, as of today I'm now I'm in Oculus Support limbo. I'll set my expectation at more than a month for next response, and maybe get a new cable some day.
This sort of thing should be a slam-dunk for support, but I've read that it takes a very long time. I mean, after these photos, is there any question in anyone's mind that I need a new cable? I'll report back.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++When you see it?I saw it!On day 3 of course. after making a new, whatever, I was excited to see my Oculus rift Headset to running flawlessly. The twisting and bending is rigorous to the cycle of the system. If you are like me, you should stock up.I was noodling with the Headset cable and never thought the worst. But it was the cable the hole time.All that's glittering and weird tracking issues, all gone. No software glitches, just the twisting. (NO TWISTING)Make a custom cable! I never could fine the schematics of the Oculus Headset cable.It's an interface. I think. Just be prepared if you use the Oculus for working.I wood pays $500.00 for just the bare components.
