    Your perseverence on this was unbelievable. That ribbon cable micro soldering is really amazing. Just look how far you have come in the past few years. I love watching your repairs on random things. Keep up the great work.

    Great Effort Vince👍. Sometimes I think you have a lot more patience than me! Shame it was all so badly corroded on a plus side though you have a lot of spare parts now to repair another one. I had seen a few of these on eBay and had thought about getting one myself to have a mess with. Keep up the great work!

    Hi Vince, I've been catching up with the Rolls Royce playlist as of late (the last 3-4 days) and I'm on part 52 right now. I don't know anything about cars and you've sparked my interest. Loved all the ups and downs during all the videos, the car is coming along sooo nicely! Sorry, I'll come back to this at a later time, just wanted to drop some love for the car! 🚗❤

    Hey Vince! You can use an application called Sidequest on your PC to disable the proximity sensor through ADB automatically. If you can set it up through the app, enable developer mode and then youre good to go!

    Your point about planned obsolescence is spot on. I have been trying to repair vintage hifi recently. Firstly it's astonishing that a lot of these 50, even 60 year old bits of gear still work, and if they don't are eminently repairable providing parts are available.
    There is a lot to be said for Right To Repair legislation.

    As a current Quest 3 user myself I found this fix fascinating. I was sure there was no hope but it looks like you got it to show the set boundary screen. Too bad you don't have any controllers and the proximity sensor is pretty much trashed.

  • @theatheisthammer
    @theatheisthammer 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    @my mate Vince. I will try and explain how to fix this in a short time.strip it down. Now at the connector get a reading from the pins on the proximity connector one by one. By turning it on connected to multi or oscilscope and wait for it to turn off eventually you will find the pin, then solder a wire to short it and now it will stay on. I can not remember the pin it was that does this. But had a similar problem and this worked. It just basically tells the system it's on your head. Downside is it won't go into standby when you take it off, just remember to turn it off. This will work for other systems that use this feature.

    Hey vince, greatings from Denmark. Big fan of you videos. Just bought my self a blue mat because of you 😂 had a battery charger with a fan that had not worked for years , have been taking it apart a couple of times and checked various components without luck, tried again today, a good oppertunety to try out my new mat. Still could not find anything wrong. So put it back together , and needed to charge my batteries , and the fan was running again , so the blue mat fixed it 😂😂😂 or i might have scraped some corrosion away while testing. Btw will you soon be returning to the rolls royce ?

    Not an expert by any means but I have a Quest 2 which I've used for a long time. The 1,2 and 3 settings are settings to determine the space between your pupils so that the screen will be in focus whilst in use. I'd guess that the cable that connects the two is for relaying the information to allow the focal point of the screens to move where necessary

    That connector you are wire-bridging can actually be salvaged from most cell phones connector. Somewhere around its data line, power line, Screen Line, or touch control line. Just need to find something that has 3 pins in the middle. To me it looks like the connector for battery.

  • @neddy1287
    @neddy1287 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    You have to jump start the battery using the correct charger and put the probes on the plus and minus all depends on the voltage on the battery as I done this a few times to revive battery from a deep state meaning too low to charge
    As for example if the battery is 3.6v and max charge is 4.2v you can use a 18650 battery charger with the wires attached from the terminals then to the digital multimeter to monitor the charge and jump start the battery this way but you have to trinkle charge the battery till it gets above 3v this is bringing the battery out of the deep sleep when it below 2.5v or less due to the bms having the voltage cutoff too low therefore refusing to charge the battery but if one cell or more are dead it not ideal to jumpstart the battery running the battery to swell or burst so warning is given

    Hey Vince .I'm pretty sure it just needs a hard reset now if stuck on meta symbol. Power on and hold power button and I think volume minus if not it's volume plus wait to power on and let go of buttons. It will take you to android system menu where you can erase and restart the system .it should then boot properly.

    Batteries usually have their own protection boards, and when voltage drops below 2.5v, it disconnects output to stop it from being discharged further to protect the cells. When voltage is applied to pins, it wakes up the protection, and it connects cells to output. Id say original battery was dischaged completely, and replacement was barely above 2.5v. Maybe it got some charge while you were connecting them to the board, and while wiggling the connector, it made a connection for a second to wake up the battery.

    Be careful when things get into "liquid damage". Once a guy handed me over his laptop saying "it suffered from liquid damage". I took the laptop in my hands and asked insinctively "what happened?" and he went "Well I puked over it" - and I immediately dropped it. The lens separation gauge is the "IPD" - "Inter Pupillar Distance", and plays a fundamental role because it tells the software how much separation must be applied to the two images that are projected (one for each eye). On older version it was just a mechanical feature on the vistor and you had to set that number manually in the software.

    The flashing red light indicates that is NOT charging and there is a problem.
    Solid red light - charging
    Solid Green - charged.
    Orange - Very low battery
    Flashing Orange - Problem - with charging/battery
    When plugged in. Touch the front of the headset. If its extreme hot. Its meaning the headset is over charging and that its battery life is pretty much toast.
    When plugged in. If stone cold it means the battery protection has kicked in and will not charge at all.
    Also. Make sure you only charge with a quest 2 / meta charger and charging cable. wrong cables can short the headsets port.
    Even meta them selves wont sell replacement batteries. Or even fix these internally. They say its not safe to do so. And hence its hindering there value etc. Any issue with them. They tell u to repair them. then there scrapped and u get a refurb sent out.. And with the quest 2 age now. there gonna start breaking down... there just not a good fix up project unless you can safely remove things etc and use other parts. But meta say you cannot sell on these products after attempting to fix them

      What mechanism does Meta have to prevent the resale of repaired products? This seems like an impossible task.
      For example, it is "illegal" in my country to use baby's car seats after so many years; they "expire". Thus second hand stores will not sell them. There is no reasonable way to stop private sales, however.

    2G has not been retired yet, most of the current generation of electric and gas Smart meters run via a 2G signal.

      Correct and I think Tyler is also correct that it is scheduled to be switched off 2033, maybe 2035 or even later as utility WAN uses 2g. I drive an old car (15years plus old) with a built in phone - keypad on the steering wheel. This still works and is 2g. My problem is I can only use one carrier as, though 2G is still there, most mobile networks will not provide the SIM card. It will be sad when this goes as two features of the car is not only having a built in phone but if the accident inertia switch is triggered it automatically calls emergency services and uses mobile gps to give the car’s location. In addition if it breaks down I can call or it will automatically call the local service garage! Amazing technology for a 15 year old car.

    Like a typical Android phone I guess, if the battery is zero it first charges in slow emergency mode, then when it gets a little bit it actually boots the kernel to continue the rest of the charge? Makes sense. Bet it runs a Qualcomm chip 😅

    Unfortunately, the battery connectors on the mainboard are so fragile it's crazy. I managed to destroy mine when I attempted to replace the battery on my Quest 2.
