PlayStation VR2: Eye tracking camera lens smudged/scratched. Can it be fixed?

Fri, 22 May 2026 00:58:45 -0700

Hi,

I went and smudged/messed up the eye tracking camera lens by trying to clean the surrounding dark blue plastic with asetone—and yes, in retrospect it was an idiot move, but I would like to try and fix it. Is there a way to clean the lens, or maybe replace it?

HTC Vive Focus 3: Rubber Nosepad Lightblocker for Face Cushion

Wed, 20 May 2026 14:13:31 -0700

Im looking to purchase just the detachable rubber light blocker on the face cushion of the Vive Focus 3. I have multiple headsets where this part has broken, but I do not want to buy an entirely new face cushion just to replace this small rubber part. No one online seems to sell this including iFixit so if anyone has a source for this part it would be SO helpful. Willing to buy in bulk.

Meta Quest 2: Why does my meta quest show boot screen but then go to blank screen

So when I turn on my headset it shows a booting screen (the one with the meta logo) and then it spins around 8-12 times and then it goes to a grey screen. I’ve tried side-loading updates and everything in the menu that you get to with vol down and power. Nothings working.
