HP Reverb G2 Won't Start

[C3PO]

Hi - not used the VR for a few months and now it won't start. The light comes on the black power box but nothing from the headset. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the USB and video cables into my machine and still nothing. Is there anything more that I can / should do?

double check the cable is pushed into the headset correctly, that is usually the reason. 

Was the cable stored correctly? could it have been damaged?

Thanks, tried that but didn't work. Well, cable is at the side of my PC and nothing has struck it, I don't think.

Weird because the little white light comes on the power box.

Is this the G2 version with a little reset switch on the power box, give that a try. I'm sure you have cycled its power disconnected and reconnected all cables. If you lived near me (Seattle, WA), I would let you try my cable.

That's very kind and yes checked that the little light was on and pressed the button on the box, but nothing. Should I be pressing that for more than half a second though to reset it? Light does turn on and off when I do press it each time.

Eventually solved the problem! Went through these steps:

1. Thinking that this was caused by a latest firmware for my MoBo, I reverted to the previous version last year --> NO JOY

2. Uninstalled nVidia drivers and reinstalled latest --> NO JOY

3. Upgrade MoBo chipset drivers --> NO JOY

4. In BIOS looked for any errors in USB devices --> NO JOY

5. Uninstalled WMR and reinstalled --> NO JOY

6. Changed the 5A fuse in the plug for the G2 --> NO JOY

7. Tore some more hair out --> NO JOY

8. Had a coffee --> NO JOY

9. Changed to a third USB-C port on the PC  --> JOY!!!!

For some inexplicable reason, the USB card in my PC had stopped working. Not sure why but will investigate further. Thanks for all the help.
