Einleitung

Das Oculus Quest 2, auch Meta Quest 2 genannt, ist ein von Facebook (ehemals Oculus) entwickeltes VR-Headset und die zweite Iteration des ursprünglichen Quest. Das Quest 2 kann als eigenständiges Headset oder in Verbindung mit einem Computer betrieben werden, wenn es entweder über ein USB-Kabel oder Wi-Fi angeschlossen wird. Das Headset läuft mit einem Qualcomm XR2 und 6 GB RAM. Es bietet eine Auflösung von 1823 x 1920 pro Auge. Achte darauf, dass du alle Schrauben im Auge behältst, denn dieses Headset hat eine Menge davon.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Entferne die sechs T2 Schrauben, die das Futter des Headsets fixieren.

It’s actually 6x T3 screws. A T2 driver is smaller than the groves of the T3 screws, will slip and strip.

Steven -

It may depend on your bit manufacturer. I used an ifixit T2.

Daniel Yoder -

What screw size are these? I need to replace one but I don't know what to search for

Michele Bright -

I have T2 on mine as well

weiwei.e.sun -

What if one of the screws strips? We are using a t3 and it got all screws out but one. Now we cannot get that last screw out

AliD -

Schritt 2

Setze nacheinander ein Plektrum auf jeder Seite in der Nähe der Nasenauflage ein, schiebe es zur Seite und heble hoch.
Wenn beide Seiten gelöst sind, dann hebe die Abdeckung vorsichtig heraus und klappe sie so, dass sie außerhalb des Headsets liegt.
Der Näherungssensor ist immer noch angeschlossen, achte auf das Flachbandkabel und beschädige es nicht.
Löse die kleine schwarze Raste des ZIF-Verbinders und ziehe das Flachbandkabel ab.
Das Kabel ist leicht angeklebt, sei vorsichtig, wenn du es abziehst.
Achte beim Zusammenbau auf die richtige Position des Kabels. Es darf nicht schwer gehen, die kleine schwarze Raste wieder zu befestigen. Wenn dieses Kabel nicht richtig angeschlossen ist, dann kann der Bildschirm schwarz bleiben und das Gerät schaltet sich nach kurzer Zeit von selbst aus.

Hard as rock, day 2

Antonio Rico Torres - 24/08/21

I’m going to do this in about 2 month and this part seems difficult any tips?

Someone -

Schritt 3

Entferne die drei Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Entferne die beiden Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Die beiden orangenen Schrauben oben sitzen sehr tief und benötigen vielleicht einen Schraubendreher mit längerem Schaft.

Does iFixit have a set with a screwdriver for accessing the left top screw shown here? The space there is very narrow.

S-ed - 15/11/21

The correct size for these five screws is P000, not P0.

Matthew Foreman -

where can I look up the naming scheme for that screw size you’r etalking about?

is that the same as the phillips PH000?

is that describing the thread dimensions or the head of the screw, or both?

I’ve looked up the screw dimensions / where I can get spares but can’t seem to find consistent results for this one,

I want to know the screw’s head and thread measurements so I can recreate a custom oculus shell in CAD and have the proper screws and parts all fit back together properly.

_latch_key_ - 07/02/22

The ph screw driver was wrong and I stripped one of the screws thanks a lot ifixit

gavilanesadan@yahoo.com -

Of note; the screws are PH000 and they are especially soft and easy to strip.

Alexander Owen -

Schritt 4

Um die Rasten zu lösen, muss an die vier Stellen ein Pick (Plektrum) eingesteckt werden.
Entferne die vordere Abdeckung von der Oculus Quest 2.

I found it best just to gently pull it off from the side with my finger nails. There is nothing connected to this cover, yet be careful enough not to break the plastic clips.

Padraic Hoselton -

I don’t need to go to any further steps because I’m only replacing the front shell but still it is a good thing I found out about this tutorial or else I would be a mess right now

Someone -

Schritt 5

Trenne die WiFi Antenne ab.
Entferne die Kreuzschlitzschraube #0
Entferne die beiden Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Ziehe den Akkustecker heraus.
Denke beim Zusammenbau daran, das Flachbandkabel zum Akku teilweise unter das Logic Board zu legen.

After I remove bracket I found that battery cable already disconnected.After connect it my problem of quest 2 not charge after drop is fix. Thank you for helpful guide.

Korakot Ano -

Schritt 9

Löse den Stecker der seitlichen WiFi-Antenne.
Trenne das Kabel zum USB-C-Anschluss und zur Kopfhörerbuchse ab.
Hebe die Lautsprecherkabel hoch und trenne sie ab.
Löse die Kabel zu den oberen Kameras, zur Einschalttaste und zur Status-LED, zu den unteren Kameras und zur Lautstärkewippe ab.
Trenne die Verbindungskabel der beiden unteren Kameras ab.
Löse die Kabel zur vorderen LED, zum IPD-Sensor und zum Annäherungssensor ab.
Trenne das Bildschirmkabel ab

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement camera. one of my quest 2 cams is shattered due to a fall :)

Christopher elsas -

at aliexpress you can get all the parts

Kaha -

Who made the camera module?

Алексей Лисовицкий -

Dónde puedo comprar el Flex de una de las cámaras superiores

Jhon Hoyos -

Schritt 10

Eine 3,5mm Sechskantschraube
Vier Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Entferne die Hauptplatine.

Schritt 11

Nahaufnahme der Hauptplatine.

Any chance to list all chips on board?

ksazazel - 06/03/21

it looks like there is a 64gb sandisk chip that might come off with some hot air :)

(but this board look completely different than the quest 2 boards offered on eBay....)

nitrous dude -

Schritt 12

Zwei Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Zwei Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0
Fädle das seitliche WiFi Antennenkabel aus.
Entferne den Mittelrahmen vom Gehäuse.

On the upper right hand side of this image next to the first WiFi antenna you unplug, there is a ribbon cable that is held down with a STRONG adhesive that is very difficult to get off. I had to heat up the plastic tool I was using and the cable itself to soften it enough to pull of. Be very careful with it.

Gavin Alton -

Schritt 13

Vier Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0 halten den Akku im Gehäuse.
Die Akkuabdeckung ist mit zwei T2 Schrauben befestigt.
Die Oculus Quest 2 hat eine Akkulaufzeit von 2,5 Stunden mit einem durchschnittlichen Verbrauch von 5,6 Watt.

What type are the batteries

And where can i buy the.

Edo -

Schritt 14

Jeder Halter/Lautsprecher ist teilweise durch ein Plastikstück befestigt, das mit vier Kreuzschlitzschrauben #0 festgeschraubt ist.
Löse die vier Metallclips an jedem Halter/Lautsprecher.
Die Plastikstücke, mit denen die Halter befestigt sind, können entfernt/abgedreht werden, so dass sich die Halter vom Rest des Gehäuses lösen.

Can someone please elaborate on how to remove the metal clips on the arms/speakers?

Is there a special tool or technique?

Fixxif -

Same here. I can’t figure out how to remove the clips.

Colin Harris -

Václav Tomáš -

anyone tell me how to can remove this arms speaker? :(

thang tan -

Ta Truong -

I would like to know how too! I need to replace my speaker but i doesn't find the technic for metal clip. Thank you

Patrick Potvin - 08/04/23

Schritt 15

Die Linsen gleiten auf Schienen, die von kleinen Metalllaschen gehalten werden. Das Entfernen der Schienen legt den Bildschirm frei.
Der Bildschirm ist durch eine Plastikfolie geschützt. Achte auf Staub und zerkratze nichts.

What do the screens look like under the lenses? How and where do the cables transmitting the image and power to the screens?

radgesaidor -

Can you add a bit of information about the charging port. I need to replace but not sure best way to access.

Thank you so much to me for making this guide. Helped me a lot!

It is worth emphasizing that this device has 2! WIFI antennas.

Anyone who wants to disconnect WIFI from their device must disconnect both.

Their connection to the motherboard, is right next to each other, but the right connection is immediately revealed while the left connection next to it is hidden under the black cover and requires a number of additional disassembly steps.

Alternatively, anyone who wants to disconnect WIFI from their device can disconnect the wires in the area where they connect to the antenna stickers on the right and left sides of the eyepieces of the glasses, thus saving all the disassembly of the front cover.

שמחה גרשון בורר -

Thanks!! this really helped me, I have already customized mine with an official custom filter, but this will add an additional layer of Kashrus.

Leib Felberbaum -

If you just need to replace a camera… it’s 14 screws. You need a T2 and a PH0 (not a P0…) Pretty easy once you get the front cover off and not covered here. It’s pretty easy to see what you do once you get in there though. Good luck!

Chris Madson -

PH0 and P0 are the same :)

Lylo -

Bravo pour ces informations. Un grand merci

Guidemann Christophe -

где запчасти то покупать на данное устройство. выломали порт usb, а заменить нечем.

Alexandr Freelan -

Un grand merci pour ce tuto qui m’a permis de sauver mon casque suite à une grande rasade de vin blanc .

gerardleroy78480 -

This guide is overall great however just as some feedback some of the clour lables are not taged to anything as well as it would be great to see some images of where the battery is located as well as how to get it out.

Pwarrow88 -

Where is the hard drive located? Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive if you disassemble it far enough?

Ben Stout -

Can’t say for sure, but it’s VERY likely that the SSD is soldered to the main board and not replaceable without considerable skill and expensive tools

matthew wallace -

The storage device is the large flash chip on the main board labeled “SanDisk.” It is not user-upgradable (well, without considerable effort and maybe a little software hacking).

Aidan Lawrence -

I’m trying to replace the Aux/power port on the mid frame part on the oculus, is it necessary to remove the mainboard in order to gain access to the part I’m trying to replace?

Rizal Antipuesto -

I’m wondering if you had any luck with this as the brand new headset I got was damaged over Christmas and now the charge port is incredibly loose.

Ryan Hill -

Has anyone confirmed whether or not the Quest 2 has an internal SD card reader? Someone on Facebook claims there is one, but I can’t find anything online that backs it up.

William Cousert -

Is a full disassembly necessary to remove the lens assembly, or is it simple as just removing the rear cover and swapping it out?

Colten -

Thank you for this guide, I would like to replace the microphone with an output from a hardware vocoder would this be possible?

Joao Lee -

how would go about getting to the power button If I just want see if it’s not damaged because that is the only problem I am having. Is to turn it on

Brandxn -

Need more detail on how to the clip of the first proximity sensor is removed/replaced.

Anthony Rossi -

oh. nice article rellyy hlpdddesbdyf rgoofnv thought hhbdj cbbjhnnsndvxc

Soren Nordgren -

any idea where can i get replacement parts?

laz -

what is the weight of battery? it's possibile turn on without battery but with cable connected? i think the best solution for future quest it's battery swapping.

patrikmeneguot -

Battery weight is 63g - I tested and you are not able to use the quest 2 with the battery removed and a power cable connected. The meta logo will appear for ~.1 seconds, then a battery with a slash through it image will appear on the screen.

d__g -

Agradezco mucho la información es una gran ayuda ya que tengo que desarmar totalmente el aparato que es de mi sobrino y lo dejo en el suelo y se le metieron hormigas sin está ayuda no creo haber podido hacerlo gracias

warner bermudez -

Hay in step 2 removing the rear cover I accidentally cut the ribbon connecting to the rear cover (proximity ribbon) does any1 know where I can get a replacement?

Jerrett Luedy -

Id try eBay to find a used one as i doubt if Oculus, Facebook or Meta will just sell you the part outright!

Matthew Reed -

So far so good waiting for my replacement screen dam hope for my girls sake i get it back together .hate to file a missing person report.

April Webb -

Do I need to remove everything to replace the lens and LCD?

David Tompsett -

The LCD screen shouldn't need changing just change the lens. But if you need both just by a new unit as the Lens is about $80 and the LCD is about the same so for the cost of the parts its probably just easier to buy new!

Matthew Reed -

Is it possible to remove the lenses on early stages?

ozan uygan -

I just swapped the mainboard into a new headset piece (speakers power button etc) and the unit works for about 2 minutes and then goes to a black screen. I can hit the power button again and get the device to display three dots, then the screen goes dark again.

Anyone have any ideas? This repair went very smoothly so Im not sure if its overheating now or what.... I did try disabling the prox sensor as well and that did not help.

Chase Gober -

Probably needed to replace the thermal past that was compromised when your disassembled it.

larstaylor -

You Might have damaged your proximity sensor ribbon cable or connector as it wont work if it cannot detect if its on your face or not. Disabling the prox sensor will for SURE cause that error 100%! It cannot be disabled. That's why I think its the prox sensor ribbon cable or a bad connector that the cable goes into. Try replacing both the sensor and its connector ribbon cable if thats thats possible.

Matthew Reed - 12/01/23

Hi has anyone try swapping a 64gb mainboard for a 128 gb or 256gb to increase the storage?

Dimase -

I did and it worked great, but the teardown to swap the board is tedious and very very delicate work!!

Matthew Reed -

I don’t know why people are praising this guide. It is terrible, incomplete. Lacks detail. Hand waives critical steps and instructions.

It is a terrible guide, one of the worst on this site.

I have been trying to figure out how to “life the front led away from the headset” for two hours. Each gentle attempt risks destroying it. Worst and most clear instruction I have ever seen.

And that is after trying to deduce what the OP meant multiple times, each with an intuitive leap of faith; rather than clear instructions.

larstaylor - 02/10/22

It would have been nice of the OP had mentioned that you don’t need to take the %#*@ motherboard and heat sink off to dissemble the main body.

And mentioned that you will need to have thermal paste available to replace the thermal paste you ruined by removing a motherboard and heat sink you’d hit even need to remove.

larstaylor -

Does replacing the mainboard is plug and play ?

Do i need to do something on the software side to get it to work ?

Asking before ordering part , answer will be very appreciated.

Kobi -

Yes you can swap motherboards! I did it in mine to get better memory, but if you have a warranty I wouldn't recommend it as this will void your warranty! I replaced my motherboard from a 64GB board to a 128GB one, the Oculus unit booted right up easily, then it gets its updates over the internet so just connect it to your wifi and it will update itself to the newest latest automatically! Now the teardown is tedious and if your not good with electronics I wouldn't attempt it!! As its very easy to damage things!

Matthew Reed - 12/01/23

Definitely one of the most unnecessarily complex devices I've ever disassembled.

Ended up having to take apart everything just to replace that one fried USB port, even accidentally snapped off the latches from two ribbon cable ports in the process (though the latter is entirely my fault in handling teeny tiny pieces).

But at least my Quest 2 is no longer a paperweight now. Thanks OP.

muhdizrin -

Can You help me? I try to reject the wifi modules and bluetooth modules but ı dont know which one is the wifi and which one is the bluetooth. Thank you for help.

Ahmet Hakan Yıldırım -

Where is wifi chip? Can I remove it? if I success to remove it, quest 2 works well without wifi?

Antti Silvast -

Just buy a whole new mainboard, ebay is selling the mainboards really cheap!! Just swap mainboards its easy, but make sure you unpair and factory reset your oculus before you do so, then when you pair the new board to your account its as easy as pie!

Matthew Reed -

Mainboard image must be fake as SK Hynix doesn't make the Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU for the Oculus Quest 2, where the heck did that image come from??

Matthew Reed -

Hi someone got over excited and dropped my quest now it works for approximately 5 min then the left screen turns off...can this be fixed?

TIA

Jubehasit -

Hola a todos, tengo un problema con mis oculus, no me funciona el Wifi y lo reinicié con los parametros de fabrica pero ahora no puedo completar las opciones de inicio del sistema, hay alguna forma de saltarse la configuración de Wifi ???????

Sergio Salazar -

Where would I buy a replacement fan and heatsink

Tyler Smith -

Hola a todos, de casualidad alguno sabe dónde comprar el Flex que va a uno de los sensores superiores de las Oculus quest 2
