Vive Wireless won't pair

[Sagerockerson]

I recently purchased a Vive Wireless Kit. The Vive works perfectly fine when I have the long wires hooked up. When I start up the Vive Wireless program it says "Can't find any headset" When I hit pair it says to push the button on the battery and then hit the logo on the wireless unit when it lights up. The wireless unit never lights up.

When I push the button on the battery the lens will light up for a split second and the light on the side of the headset is a solid red. The battery is fully charged, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling SteamVR and the Vive Wireless program. I have the linkbox hooked up to power and the usb to the computer only, all cables have been unplugged and plugged back in. I can also plug all the long cables back in and they still work great. Power is obviously traveling through the wireless unit as it heats up and the red light stays on the headset. I should also note that I have the card installed on the motherboard with the camera on my monitor.

Did you try holding down the logo/button on the top of the wireless adapter for a few seconds?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you still have the linkbox connected to the PC? You should only have the Wireless Adapter connected. The standard linkbox will not be used in this configuration.

Thank you,

I've tried just pressing it, holding it for a few seconds, and holding it for up to 10 seconds.

I've read that the lighthouses need the linkbox for bluetooth connection. I have attempted to setup the vive wireless with and without the linkbox connected.

Hi, did you manage to solve this? I seem to be having the same issue.

Battery appears dead, can't seem to charge it or turn it on

I had a problem getting the wireless to connect, the first time i set it up. it worked perfectly then the headset went flat. so i charged it (3.0QC charger) then wouldnt work. i had to fully uninstall all steam VR and wireless. reset it up with the cord. then reinstalled the wireless and it has worked flawlessly since.

I recently got the wireless kit for my Cosmos Elite but can't seem to get it to pair at all

light just keeps blinking green and nothing happens I am a sad boy

My plan was to bring the base stations into the next room and play in the other room wireless, I even tried simply setting things up in front of the pc itself but no dice

I've followed all directions that I am suppose to and watched several YouTube videos on it, I really want it to work like...just connect once even if I have to play in the same room as my Pc thats fine but it just won't pair

I've restarted my pc more than once
I've pressed and held the vive button on the wireless adapter for over 10 seconds and I've also simply pressed it

Here is my problem
After a full recharge on my powebank
I try again later that night to pair it cuz I thought eh maybe it just needs to be at full charge
When I attempt to pair it, the wireless adapter will blink green slowly for a while then eventually start blinking red and then turn off
