Are you considering carrying VR parts?

Dear iFixit,

You appear to be doing some great tear downs in the VR/AR space. Seems to me like the next logical step is to provide some parts or at least identify them in the market. I know people constantly trash their hand controllers smashing them into things, lenses get scratched, cables get yanked out etc.

Having an iFixit resource for parts would be great for these devices and users, not to mention great for those of us who want to enter this space at a lower price point (perhaps by repairing a unit someone else ditched).

Some units also have internal batteries that might need refreshing as they age.

Please let us know… no idea what the parts pipeline looks like for these. HTC Vive Std and Oculus OV1 would be the primary targets for now?

Thanks,

clickykbd

Hey @clickykbd, VR is getting popular, and as much as we would love to be able to supply replacement parts, manufacturers don’t make them easily accessible. This is why Right to Repair is so important.
