Quest 3 Teardown Shows Just How Slim the Headset Really Is
The recently released Quest 3 headset has already undergone a full teardown by iFixit, revealing its slim design and challenging repairability. The teardown video shows that the headset is difficult to dismantle, with no official repair parts available. Removing certain components can be tricky, as demonstrated by the broken face plate clip. The slim design of Quest 3 is thanks to the inclusion of pancake lenses, which do not hinder the teardown process. The headset features over 50 screws and the battery is located between the display and mainboard, requiring some effort to replace. The video also discusses the cost-saving decisions made by Meta, such as excluding eye-tracking and providing a cheaper controller. While the video is not a repair guide, an official guide from iFixit is expected to be posted soon. For the full story and the video, visit the source at Road to VR.
