Spot under Reverb G2

[Ramires]

Hello guys,

yesterday I was struggling with my Reverb G2. Actually it runs normal. But after I'd left my PC a few hours ago I saw several spots under my G2 lying on a white piece of paper. I changed the paper and the surface the paper was lying on - same result. Any idea if that matters ?

Sweat or condensation that dripped down?

Get a small desk fan.  I have the Varnado which is quite effective and not very noisy.

Unlikely. The device is dry and spots appear after a few hours.

Only thing I can think of is, dielectric grease seeping out.

I've no clue. Is there grease in VR goggles?

I wouldn't know without tearing one open but, to be honest it wouldn't be a bad idea for protection against corrosion on some of the more fragile connectors considering the amount some people sweat while wearing one on their head for hours.


Again, this is just a guess. If it is in fact dialectric grease, maybe the assembler used more than necessary.

Might be worth a look.

Have you contacted HP about the issue?

Thank you for your answers guys!

I've contacted HP and waiting for their answer.

Whatever it is, it should under no circumstances find it's way into your eyes while you wear them.

I should think if it's leaking that much you should be able to see the oily stuff on the bottom side. And concur it's probably dielectric grease, although it seeping out is a bit odd, and yeah definitely keep that <profanity> out of your eyes whatever it is.

Could even be a blob of solder flux paste, misplaced during assembly. Considering the heat inside there...
