Samsung Gear VR Trackpad Replacement

简介

Navigating your mobile device while it is connected is accomplished through the use of a trackpad on the side of the headset. If the user becomes unable to control their device the trackpad may have come disconnected or may need replacement. This guide will outline how to access the headset's trackpad for repair or replacement.

The motherboard partially sits on the inner mask piece of the headset and must be removed in order to remove the inner mask piece.

Caution is required while working on the headset as a wire harness connects the USB adapter to the motherboard. Care should be taken not to put any strain on the wire and to open the headset from right to left.
