      • Be sure to power down and disconnect your Vive before beginning.

      • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the two 12 mm-long screws securing the head strap mounts on either side of the headset.

      • For some devices, a T6 Torx driver may work better.

      • The mounts may fall off when the screws are removed, so be careful not to lose any parts.

Conclusion

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
