fhillia Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 My son's VIVE headset is no longer working. We suspect the do pee'd on it but we're not 100% sure. Nonetheless, there is a red light there but it will no longer connect to the VR. I've looked all over the Internet hoping to purchase just a headset new (obviously there is second hand such as eBay but I prefer not to put something on my son's face that was on someone else's face). Is there anywhere where I can purchase a brand new headset only?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Unfortunately, I don't think anyone sells just the HMD by itself brand new. There's a couple of options you have: 1. Send the device in for repair. It'll be out of warranty but it'll run you about 270$USD and they'll replace any individual parts that have been damaged.2. Buy a new Vive kit and sell off the controllers/base stations. There's a pretty healthy secondary market for those items.3. Buy the Vive Pro HMD. It's compatible with your controller and base stations, but it also has improved resolution.I hope that helps you somewhat.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibbertigibbety Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Maybe try to keep an eye out on ebay. Anyone that's upgraded from a vive to a Vive pro with just the headset would theoretically have a vive that's no longer usable, as the lighthouses and controllers are being used with their pro.
