HTC SteamVR Base Station 2.0

Bought this about a month ago everything was fine never touched it once I mounted it on my wall, all of a suddenly I go to plug it in to its power source and it starts blinking red, not sure as to what caused this but now it wont connect to my pc no matter what I do, I heard its a hardware failure but not sure how I will return it if its over the return window time, as it is its just a waste of 200$, broke within a month, currently am contacting steam if they can replace it if possible but well see.

Let me start this by saying I don’t know if this is the products fault, Amazon’s fault, or both. I bought two to begin with earlier this year as an upgrade from the 1.0 models. Let’s call them #1 and #2. They have worked perfectly fine since buying them. Now after a few months I have expanded my play space and decided to buy two more stations. They arrived and #3 worked perfectly but #4 had a blinking red light from the beginning. Hardware malfunction with no fix. Had to get a replacement. Once that arrives, I plug it in the have the same issue. A third base station and I finally have a working one. Then after about a week of playing with all four, #3 which seemed to be working fine, starts to show a blinking red light with no one touching or moving it. I have a replacement for #3 on the way as of writing this. Hopefully this one works when it gets here and stays working.

Got one of these to help my VR setup due to Steam always being out of stock. Sad to find it cost more for a product that feels cheaper and doesnt even come with a wall mount. Outside this issue it works fine, pairs with the system, and so far has not shown any issues. I also bought 4 new all mounts anyways as I wanted some better angles from the ceiling positions I use.

The item was broken and blinking red when arrived. Manufacturers warranty was also out when attempting to get support. HTC and Amazon were very understanding and walked me through troubleshooting steps before reaching a return. Have since purchased another and it works flawless. It even connected to my PC through bluetooth automatically, which the previous one never did.

Not sure if these are refurbished units because the original basestations that came with my Valve Index dont have this problem. Both of the basestations I purchased here off of amazon required a firmware update and both were bricked, refused to start again, after powering down after the update.

Came fast and will see if working fine most likely it will so im not to worried about that

I brought one from Dell, base station 2.0, it works immediately with pimax 8kx. This one no, it took me so much effort to make it work only once, then never work again. This one from amazon said it was assembled in US. I suspect it has out of dated firmwares, but without vive VR, you could not even update by yourself. I bought another one from Dell, now it works out of box again. Wasted me 200 dollars, Amazon!

Was not functioning when it arrived and was throwing out error codes as soon as I turned it on, but on the plus side, they never received my return. Next time Ill just set $200 on fire.

I ordered two 2.0 Base stations and they arrived in good time, I was very pleased with how fast the shipping was. as I opened the package though I was very disappointed with how it was packed. One flimsy strip of bubble wrap and that was it. The base stations could easily freely move around in the box they were shipped in. I tested both and only one works. Im surprised that even one works. as for the other one I plug it in and it seems alright for about a minute. it does the usual LED flashing blue then turn green. after that though it flashes red signifying hardware failure. The working one works great though tracks perfectly and I have had no issues with it. just really disappointed in how Amazon shipped these.

The first two I bought were fine for a week before one went out and the other one sounded like one of the sensors broke. Got it replaced and the same exact thing happen. Also, all four them do not match the boxes nor the back of the lighthouses. Also, yes thats how faded the lettering on the back is brand new. Im more then certain these are refurbished, and passed off as new. This is a scam, and someone should look into this more.
