If you’re an HTC Vive owner, you may have wondered how to remove the front panel to access the cables and USB port. This quick guide will show you how to do just that.
First, make sure your Vive is stable and secure on a flat surface. With your thumbs at the back of the front panel, gently push down and forward. The panel should click and come loose. You may need to wiggle it forward a bit before you can pull it up and access the ports.
To reattach the front panel, simply do the same thing in reverse. Put a tiny bit of pressure on the back part while pushing it backwards onto the device. This will help the panel get back onto its rails.
Removing the front panel may seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple. Think of it as a bit of crocodile dentistry. With a little bit of pressure and the right technique, you’ll have that panel off in no time.
