Oculus Rift not tracking correctly

The issue i’m having is that my sensors aren’t tracking my headset, my controllers work perfectly fine though they are above me and off to the side. I keep getting the issue of “Your sensor is tracking your position but cant see the front of your headset.”

Its an old oculus rift cv1 that i recently got a new coord for, so the coord shouldnt be a problem. 

Ive cleaned my sensors, reset my pc, reset my oculus, im not sure what else to try. If i am emailed i can send logs if that helps.

If a clean reinstall of the Link app doesn't fix it, remove the faceplate and try unplugging and re-plugging the cable into the headset itself. Make sure the cable is firmly plugged in on the headset side.

If you bought the new cord because you were having tracking problems, and it hasn't fixed the problem, then the tracking error could be due to a sensor failure.
