HP Recommended
Product: HP Reverb G1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have had my G1 for over a year and it has been superb for my VR sim racing, with no problems at all until yesterday when mid game one eye went black, then both, then it came back properly in both, then did it again 5 mins later so gave up and tuened it off.  Today I tried it again and got a different problem - like a million specs of glitter flashing and sparking all over the view inside the headset. What I found was that by applying pressure to the lead connector by my ear that the sparkling could be made to disappear or get worse but as soon as I left if alone there is just a general background multicoloured sparkle across the whole view. Then to make it worse the headset did the going black one eye/two eyes thing again. 

 

I know the connector has been identified as a weak spot and I have used the stabiliser clip to strengthen it since setting it up. Can this be resolved with a new cable or is it the headset failing? Obviously only using the headset for seated gaming it hasn't had a rough life at all so I am really disappointed as it has been so good till now. 

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks
