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?

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.

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!

Sure, but how do you get a replacement array?

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?
