Had a Rift CV1 since its release, just upgraded to the Rift S ( last week from OCuk - excellent service as usual ) and it worked flawlessly. That is. Untill i rebooted the day after.

USB not connected.

After looking up i see alot of people are getting the problem with only 1 fix. Unplug the rift. Reboot. Plug in the USB - wait for the software to show connected and then plug in the Display port. But dont reboot!! Or repeat. lol. what! ?

Also, many are complaining of worn out USB and Display ports by doing this. So. Anyone with a perm solutioin or should i RMA. go back to my CV1 while i can get hold of a G2.


CPU + ram are overclocked, ive tried removing and still the same. Ive removed other USB devices and also bought a powered USB block. Same result.

I had a pair of USB issues - one where the Rift S would cause the computer to restart whenever I shut it down (even after unchecking the “wake up” settings on the USB ports) and the other only giving me the three grey dots in the HMD - solved after trying a few different USB3 connections on my computer.

I ended up buying a powered USB3 hub and I’ve not had any problems since.

Yep, more or less the same, looks like it doesn't get correctly recognised once every three start up, usually unplugging both usb and DP then plugging them back in solves it. I thought it was an issue with my aging motherboard honestly, until I saw it doing the same on my gf's pc. Considering how often I use it though, it will take a good while before wearing out connectors...
