Y'all... i last played this game back near the release of the Valve Index.

I played super unserious for like 45 minutes here and there.

Tried again when mods came out and custom maps. Never really hit the spot.

Then i got my Steam Frame and started itching for that thrill again.

So i booted her up, committed to forcing myself past failure after failure.

I can genuinely say:

#1 my opinions have absolutely changed about this game. Im about to start glazing it to everyone i meet (Might make it my personality, lowkey).

#2 When you PLAY PLAY and actually push youself and get well designed maps with wide throws and good walls. It's a damn workout!

Thats about it. Just wanted to share my newfound love for the game 😁

Hello Folks!

I have the good ole Red Light of Death on a Valve Index Base Station :)

I saw a comment on a rather old thread regarding Valve Index base station repair. Specifically one for when the IR emitter goes out.

Now that they are discontinued and second hand sellers want $200+ i am definitely looking to get my hands dirty repairing mine.

Mine is spinning and working fine however the IR diode is no longer illuminating. They mentioned something regarding a tool that they made to focus the beam and some high level info about a 830nm diode.

Does anyone know what diode exactly goes into one of these things? Any tips and tricks for the repair?

Thanks!
