    • Be sure to power down and disconnect your Vive before beginning.

    • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the two 12 mm-long screws securing the head strap mounts on either side of the headset.

    • For some devices, a T6 Torx driver may work better.

    • The mounts may fall off when the screws are removed, so be careful not to lose any parts.

    Helaas blijkt de T5 Torx schroevendraaier aan de schroeven van de bevestigingsbeugels geen grip te krijgen. Wat dan gedaan?

    Immanuel Van Meirhaeghe - Antwort

    It was a T6 that fit perfectly in mine, T5 didn't cut it. Maybe it's a revision thing? Mine was an early model from 2016.
    Edit: Edited guide to say T6.

    • Use tweezers to remove the small stickers over the four screws securing the outer shell.

    • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the four 3.4 mm-long screws securing the outer shell.

    • Grasp the top edge of the right half of the outer shell, behind the component cover and near the seam in the center. Pull it to the right and upward, away from the headset to release the clip securing that part of the shell.

    • Slide the right side of the outer shell to the right and off of the headset.

    • Use tweezers to remove the clear tape over all four of the sensor array cable connectors.

    During this step, there should be a picture of the flip side showing 4 more Philips screws hidden deep inside the headset. Removing those additional 4 screws is critical to getting the headset opened and continuing to the next step.

    • Use the pointed end of a spudger to flip up the small locking flap on one of the sensor array ZIF connectors.

    • Slide the cable straight out of its socket on the motherboard.

    This guide is grossly incomplete. Do NOT try to pull up the sensor array after taking these five screws off. There are 8 more screws that have to be removed, as well as 2 tabs that need to be pushed before the sensor array comes off.

    -Two screws on the bottom (by the camera) to each side. There are four screws here, but only the outermost two need to be taken off. See the two sensors on the bottom? The screws under the outside corner of each sensor are the ones you remove.

    -Two screws on the top, to the right and left of the cable opening.

    -Four screws on the back, to the left and right of the lenses. Turn the Vive around, the screws are deep inside four holes.

    -Finally, two tabs on the bottom by the camera. If you look closely you will see them!

    • Repeat the previous step for the remaining three sensor array cables to disconnect the remaining cables.

    Sure, but how do you get a replacement array?

    TheGreatYogurt - Antwort

    It starts with “lift the sensor array" but how am I supposed to do that? Its not just lifting off after unscrewing & disconnecting. What am I missing here?

    On my 2016 headset, I had to remove two additional Phillips screws at the top (appear in picture) and two more at the bottom (which are not present in the headset pictured here, must be a different revision) before the sensor array comes off.
