Doesn’t mean it will stop us.įront glass is wielded to the casing of the base station through the whole perimeter of the glass. Valve really, really, REALLY doesn’t want you to open the base station. Just remove the bottom rubber layer (it is sticked by a double sided tape) and you will see the screws for opening it up.įor the Valve version things get more complex. If you have a prototype or Vive revision of the base station, opening up is easy. Valve made base station (current as of August 2021) Disassemblyĭisconnect your base station from the power. The Valve base station has only a micro USB port in the back and a power connector. Vive versions are not being released anymore, as Valve is responsible for producing all the base stations themselves and then selling them to partners. Vive version of base station on the right, Valve version on the left Vive versions are identified by having a sync 3.5 mm port in the back and glass going to the sides of the device. Here are the pictures of the prototype base station I have seen three different revisions of 2.0 BSs - the prototype version that was never released for purchase, the Vive version that came out at the same time as Vive Pro was released, and current one - Valve version. All 2.0 BSs have round glass in front, while 1.0 has flat glass. Identify which revision of the Base Station 2.0 you have. That way, you can combine two broken base stations into one working one.

If you still have the base station under warranty, no need to panic, this can happen, you just contact Valve/HTC support (depending where you bought it from) and they will offer you a replacement.
