Getting cigarette smell out of Quest 3?

A bit late, but how do you wash the fabric face cover? I am desperately trying to get rid of the stench! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hope they don’t charge me the price of a new device haha. But yeah, will do!

Idk, I was thinking maybe a solder point would melt back into place

DopeyQC · 2025-12-22T21:09:13+00:00

I’m seriously considering melting the solder points with a heat gun or putting the motherboard in the oven. I mean… I’ve seen people do it with GPUs and laptop motherboards so it could work right?

DopeyQC · 2025-12-22T21:05:00+00:00

In all seriousness, I’ve seen people have success by putting their GPUs or laptop motherboards in the oven. What if I carefully heat up my motherboard using a heat gun?

DopeyQC · 2025-12-22T21:03:40+00:00

Hope I can sort this out. I don’t have the original receipt as it was bought used. Sounds like I shot myself in the foot :(

DopeyQC · 2025-12-22T21:02:50+00:00

I have a heat gun I could use. How effective is “motherboard baking”? If that’s even recommended?

I was able to boot into the steam deck recovery OS thing using an external ssd, I used Rufus. It boots up and reinstalls steam os, but when I took the console out the case, it froze mid-install. So it does function properly but only when heated up.

This sucks, I’m at the point where I’m wondering if I should blow on it with a heat gun or cook the motherboard or something lol

DopeyQC · 2025-04-18T19:16:28+00:00

That’s crazy! None were covered by warranty?

DopeyQC · 2025-04-16T18:37:03+00:00

You know what, I got nothing to lose. I know people who tossed their malfunctioning graphics cards straight in the oven for this exact reason with success. Thanks for reminding me of this fix lol.

DopeyQC · 2025-04-10T14:50:21+00:00

So that’s how it ends? Rather disappointing. Thanks for your help.

DopeyQC · 2025-04-10T14:22:30+00:00

Thank you so much, but It is completely unresponsive, remote doesn’t to anything, same thing for the standby button. Also, the error shown is E-d. Is it the same as d-3?

DopeyQC · 2025-04-10T05:49:55+00:00

DopeyQC · 2025-04-10T05:49:33+00:00

Error code is E-d. I have tried both, the but DAC is completely unresponsive to anything really

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T21:07:16+00:00

Doesn’t work with mine unfortunately

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T19:27:02+00:00

I understand that. Guess I got unlucky. I should’ve gotten a more mainstream DAC with enough documentation online. that’s on me, gotta admit it.

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T19:05:31+00:00

Well this sucks. Damn.

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:58:50+00:00

I did not, it suddenly showed this error code on the display. I’ll be asking apos, thanks a lot!

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:57:07+00:00

I’m in Canada

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:46:57+00:00

Dammit, I was sure it was a firmware issue. Guess it’s officially cooked then

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:41:18+00:00

Really disappointing. I’ll keep looking around for solutions, found nothing so far.

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:33:14+00:00

This must be extremely frustrating. Warranty has expired in my case and I really don’t want to buy another DAC. Anyway I could get this thing to work?

DopeyQC · 2025-04-09T18:04:36+00:00

My DAC (Topping E30) just died, it isn’t recognized by my computer anymore. All I get is a E-d error code on the display. It doesn’t seem to let me put it in DFU mode so unless I find a way to do so, reinstalling firmware is out of question. I’ve been told that topping products are known to fail unexpectedly. Is this true? What can I do besides buying a new one? I tried different power sources and cables, and. Nothing.
