DA SLAM blackouts

So the mOLED I briefly had was experiencing blackouts before its final disconnect loop and I exchanged it for a DA SLAM which has had blackouts as well but with interesting behavior. I *had* been able to restore the screens if I shook my head immediately, but if I waited just a few seconds I would have to press the screen power button to restore the screens. Now last night and today, without any software changes, I have had two instances where I had to press the button and the DA came back in passthrough mode. My game was still in progress - the monitor was mirroring the display and head tracking was still working but absolutely no video was being passed to the headset. I turned off all the USB power management stuff and all my ports are one controller.

On a side note, holy hell this thing hurts after about 45 minutes. Got a Studioform on the way but Globular Cluster needs to make a DA strap, their Vision Pro set works awesome.

Dodged one bullet

Bought a mOLED from Microcenter 27 days ago. Worked great. They just got the DA SLAM in stock (one per store it seems) so I figured I would return the mOLED and get the DA. Today I swap my DMAS back to the original speakers, go to test and sure enough - stuck in a disconnect loop (and no audio)! Reseated everything, rebooted, nothing. Completely unusable and working fine yesterday. jfc, can't believe my luck; three more days and I would be at the mercy of Pimax customer support. I only put 5-6 hours on it, too. My OG Crystal came from Amazon and is still solid.
