      Hello raul.cristian.cr!

       

      We see that you could use some more help when it comes to your Rift CV1 giving you a black screen so let's see what we can do to help to get you back to playing games!

       

      An orange light on an the Rift CV1 indicates a connection or hardware recognition problem, meaning the headset isn't running or detecting correctly. So what we would suggest to do is the following:

       

      Check Cables and Ports:

      • Verify that the HDMI and USB cables are fully seated and not damaged. 
      • Plug the USB 3.0 cable into a different USB 3.0 port on your computer. 
      • Avoid using USB extension cables, as they can sometimes cause issues. 

      Restart your computer: 

      A simple reboot can fix minor software glitches that cause the Oculus software to misbehave.

       

      Update graphics drivers: Ensure all your drivers are fully up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the official the manufacturers website.
