Right lens of headset turns on but only shows a black screen

I bought my index second hand and its out of warrenty according to the friend I got it from. The first few weeks everything was working perfectly fine and I havent been rough with it. However, the right side of my index suddenly stopped showing video and flickered twice during a play session in vrchat one day and now only shows a black screen. The left side still works and when I start the headset up, the right side starts out white then has a rainbow of pixels before turning black. I've already tried a new trident cable and tether but the problem persists. I just want to confirm that it's the eye tube itself that needs to be replaced before buying anything unnecessarily so I can repair it and have proper vision again!

Answer this question I have this problem too

I have the exact same problem that you had. I know this post is a year old but did you try replacing the eye tube and if that was indeed the problem?

Hi! I did end up just buying an eye tube replacement after trying out new tether cables first, and non of that had fixed the issue I thought it was. It actually ended up being the motherboard having an issue which after finding a donor board to replace it with was the only way I got it fixed. Hopefully for you it's just the eyetube itself but it's definitely not the cheapest repair route since there was no way for me to tell if it was just the eye tube going bad or the motherboard.

Just updating this to say that after replacing the eye tube, the headset once again worked properly so it was not the motherboard in this case... of course one issue was the fact that the replacement eye tube had a noticeable scratch across it... It was quite the difficult repair so I'm not sure if I have the stamina to try to get another one.
