The Oculus Quest 2 Has A Problem...

Repair Tools ( Regularly Updated - With Soldering Tools ) :
- In this video we attempt to do a Oculus Quest 2 battery replacement. I was surprised by how difficult the process of accessing the battery was. Repairs like this are why we need to stand up to companies Meta who are making products harder and harder to repair. Hope you guys enjoy this one, the repair took almost 4 hours.

After tearing down and assessing repairability on the Apple vision pro, I am chill with zuck- he did good.

That's ridiculous. Those EU regulations about easily replaceable batteries need to target these devices too.

[jaymomqa]

The battery is quite possibly the quests biggest issue (mainly the battery's health)

Suddenly Apple's idea of an external battery pack for the Vision Pro seems brilliant.

Hope you guys enjoyed this one. Going to be doing our best to get 3-4 long videos out a month!

Wow, that looked like the most complex battery replacement ever. Insane

I don't really repair devices myself nowadays, but I think battery is something that SHOULD always be easily replaceable.
Having to throw away device away or need trained technician to replace battery is just ridiculous.

Let's hope Quest 3 battery replacements are going to be a bit easier, since these headsets are becoming genuine alternatives to consoles and should be fixable as consoles and phones- I've seen multiple accounts of people taking a Quest 2 over an Xbox Series S.

"The fight for right to repair is much more important" Hell yeah brother!

[michaelsamir]

The battery could have been easily accessed from the start, the black box above the lenses contains the battery and gets removed in like 5-6 screws max. Not an ideal place to find it but much better then disassembling the entire thing

imagine putting a transparent front pannel to see the iner circuits ! would look AMAZING

I like these more casual videos, where you’re not super confident you’re just kinda going with it as you figure it out. It feels comfortable to watch.

[syliphn]

Great videos, it sucks to see more and more companies making their products harder to repair :(

[Freakinkat]

As someone who fixes devices and electronics I have taken way way bigger gambles getting thousand dollar equipment and ripping it apart with some worry that I could potentially destroy the item. So for you to say you were worried about losing a hundred bucks, don't trip brother. Your supposed to be the guru my brother, have more confidence in yourself! Your doing great my man. 👍

Well the positioning of the battery in the bottom makes sense for weight distribution. But they they should have made a door of some sort to access the battery to replace it.

[kmemz]

The Quest 1 has its battery in the same location, but the surround on it is actually four panels rather than a one piece frame, all you need to do to get to it is remove the strap mounts, peel away the fabric, then undo all the screws to peel the front and rop penels away and you get full access.
This is a massive step backwards, despite the generational increase forwards.

That's a $5 tip for you to help the guy get rid of that thing 😂

[CookieJarOfficial]

as a vr youtuber i can confirm that the flaw is that you can’t easily livestream without a pc

[cedric]

I wonder how the Vision Pro will look internally

3:35 that extends the screwdriver. You have to connect one end to the screwdriver. You twist the screw driver like normal and hold the middle part still. The inside turns to unscrew from the distance so it can bend.
