Einleitung

Follow this guide to remove or replace the front cover of a HTC Vive Focus.

Power down your device before you begin. Be careful not to power on your device while making repairs. If you accidentally power on your device, stop working and power it back off before you resume.

This repair requires breaking the plastic welds that help secure the front cover to the device. If you complete this repair, the gaps between the plastic front cover and side panels will no longer be flush. This damage is permanent but only cosmetic and will not affect the device’s functionality, usability, or operation.

HTC Vive Focus Headset Front Case

Schritt 1

Place your device upside-down on your work surface.
The facerest cushion is lightly held into place by seven plastic clips.
Use your fingers to gently pull the facerest cushion straight off of the facerest to remove it.

Schritt 2

Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the eight 4.5 mm screws securing the facerest.
One of the screws will be covered by a tamper-evident sticker. Press the driver through the sticker to remove the screw.

Schritt 3

Insert an opening pick into the upper-left corner of the facerest.
Twist the opening pick to release the plastic clip securing the facerest.
Repeat for the upper-right corner.
Don't remove the facerest yet. It's still attached by the facerest sensor ribbon cable.

Schritt 4

Carefully flip your device over.
Pull the facerest out just enough to access the screws securing the facerest sensor.
Don't put any strain on the facerest sensor ribbon cable.
During reassembly, make sure the facerest sensor ribbon cable is positioned between the lenses before reinstalling the facerest.

Schritt 5

Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 2.4 mm screws securing the facerest sensor to the facerest.

Schritt 6

Remove the facerest.

Schritt 7

Use your fingers to slide the lenses towards each other so that they are positioned towards the center of the device.

Schritt 8

Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the front cover from inside the device:
Two 5.7 mm screws with fine threads
Two 5.5 mm screws with coarse threads
The coarse-thread screws can strip easily. During reassembly, tighten the coarse-thread screws until they're hand tight and then no more.

Schritt 9

Note the location of the plastic welds on both vertical edges of the front cover.
After reassembly, the gap between the front cover and the side panels may no longer be flush. This is a cosmetic defect only and will not affect operation. The front cover's clips and screws are sufficient to secure it to the rest of the device.

Schritt 10

Insert an opening pick into the top of the front cover near the upper left corner.
Slide the opening pick around the upper left corner of the front cover.

Schritt 11

Use the opening pick to separate the weld securing the left side vertical edge of the front cover.
The weld may require significant force to separate.

Schritt 12

Insert an opening pick into the top of the front cover near the upper right corner.
Slide the opening pick around the upper right corner of the front cover.

Schritt 13

Use the opening pick to separate the weld securing the right side vertical edge of the front cover.
The weld may require significant force to separate.
