forgot about this thread, about a day later the vive just kind of died. Says "headset display disconnected". Have tried different cords, replacing the cables in the panel thingy on the headset, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling steamvr. Still makes the connect and disconnect sound, so it might be something with the USB. But it would still show the headset in SteamVR (which it dosen't) because the HDMI is still plugged in. (Have also tried using VGA) I think the thing is dead, warrant is over. I could pay HTC 270 dollars to repair it or I could buy a CV1 for 250 dollars with better controllers and a wider FOV.

I have this same problem, but the controllers disconnect along with the stations. I have had the base stations in the same place for months and they worked perfectly fine beforehand, no lights around them. Only light in this room is natural light. Its also worthy to note that the HMD says it needs a firmware update, and when it updates and restarts, it says it needs another firmware update. Infinite loop. I have had no sign of this happening other than today, launched SteamVR to play something and saw an update for the HMD, so I updated it started doing this.
