SENSOR ERROR! THEY DONT WANT TO WARRANTY

Hi, I have a serious problem about SENSOR ERROR on my rift S. Tried ALL THE THINGS THAT SUPPORT ASK TO ME : 

  1. Unplug the Rift's DisplayPort and USB cables from the PC
  2. Remove Facial interface by carefully pulling it straight out (It may help to remove one side a time).
  3. Disconnect the headset cable (connected just above the left lens), it will pull straight out.
  4. Push cable into the socket; the cable only fits in one way, to ensure it it goes in correctly, make sure that the triangle on the cable is facing up.
  5. If needed, re-clip in the cable to the clip on the headband.
  6. Reinsert the Facial interface.
  7. Plug the cable back in, and test.

If the issue remains, please use our log gathering tool to generate some logs for me to review. This will help me determine if there are any conflicts present in the configuration that could be causing the issues you're experiencing. The steps to generate logs are:

  1. Open the Run window (Windows key + R).
  2. Enter and run: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusLogGatherer.exe
    • The above link is the default directory. Bear in mind that if you installed Oculus Home to another drive you will need to update the command with the correct file path.
  3. Select the checkbox next to ‘Full logs’.
  4. Select "1 day" from the "Collect last" drop down list.
  5. Wait for the log collection to finish. This can take some time to complete.
  6. The program will automatically generate a zip file containing your logs, which will be saved to your desktop automatically.
  7. Attach the newly created zip file to your next support response.

I look forward to your reply.

Confirm your camera permissions are set correctly:

Let me know what happensHello,

Thank you for the update.

If you are using any adapter or extensions besides the included mini display adapter please remove them for testing.

Please try repairing Oculus Home using the steps 

I also suggest enrolling in our public test channel to try our new beta update. You can see how to enroll .

If the issue continues the next step would be a clean uninstall/reinstall of Oculus Home using the specific steps below:

  1. Backup any necessary content.
    • You can find steps on how to do so by 
  2. Disconnect your computer from the internet.
  3. Reboot into Safe Mode.
  4. Uninstall Oculus Home using the Control Panel.
  5. Delete all Oculus folders from the following folder:
    • C:\Program Files
  6. Remove any Oculus folders from the following locations:
    • C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData
    • C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Local
    • C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\LocalLow
    • C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Roaming
    • C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache
  7. Restart your computer in normal mode.
  8. Reconnect your computer to the internet.
  9. Install Oculus Home again using the setup tool from our website 

Please note that you will not be able to submit any automated refund requests for your most recent app purchases after completing the uninstall. You can request them to be manually done if needed at all.

If you end up reaching this last step please gather me some fresh log files and let me know if it worked.
