Ribbon cable (headphones/rear tracking sensors) broken
Hey guys...
Some days ago, I bought one CV1 it from a friend. But unfortunately in the transport the ribbon cable in headband it broke. I tried repair this ribbon cable but I don't had success. I tried talk with the Oculus Support...I asked if they send me another headband for make my rift 100% again but apparently, they do not want help me. I know how disassembly/assembly my rift, this is no worry for me...but they said basically "Sorry to hear that Rift was damaged"...short answer: buy another one.
Anyone can help me about this problem? How can repair? Where find something that can use for fix?
I tried amend the ribbon cable using wires but when I test continuity with multimeter any pin doesn't work.
1- Before try fix, I tested continuity between this pins and the headphone pins, it's working.
2- I received the oculus in this situation. I needed cut the ribbon cable after this hole because was torn.
3- Conversation with the Oculus Support Team
3 - Soldered pins with wires in the both sides, at the moment, all that's fine. I tested again the continuity between the blue wire sides, it's working too...but if a test between the blue wire side and headphone contact...not working :( (maybe why I use this wire? need another wire type?)
4 - Another picture without zoom
Is this a good question?
