Product: HP Reverb g2
So I recently got the black screens of death. I noticed when i would sit down the left eye would go out followed by the right eye rapidly then would stay off for any where between 10 seconds and beyond 10 mins as i would just unplug and plug in my headset again. I searched and scoured this support site for all the possible solutions for this problem.
So Far I have tried:
- Removed the speakers and disabled them completely after the right one snapped in a violent meeting with the wall during a phasmophobia session years ago before this problem ever started happening.
- The copy and pasted idiot IT solutions of have you tried turning off and back on again, pc & hardware restart, and ect. that dumb IT 'professionals' will put proving they didn't actually read the post. Don't know what i'm talking about? Look at one of the replies, more than likely some IT wannabe will probably have posted exactly the copy and pasted Jargon I'm talking about.
- I bought a replacement cable, it made it worse as now with both cables, no matter how firmly inserted and secured the contact are, the left eye remains off while the right eye screen goes through a cycle of being on for 1 second followed by 15 seconds of darkness.
- I tried it with my tech wizard friend's master work of an ultimate gaming pc (made like four months ago) and got the same issue with both cables.
I'm at my wits end here, were i more financially secure I would have thrown this thing in the trash weeks ago for like a quest or something off ebay.
