HP G2 pushing out updated cables


Burt

Recommended Posts

I noticed last night when I was done flying and about to shut down is that when I hit the new power button the headset light didn’t go off. I was in a hurry so I just shut my rig down. I was wondering if ya gotta hold the button down for a few seconds to get the HP light to turn off. Will test again this evening.

Thanks for posting this information... I came across it yesterday afternoon.  I have a Crosshair Dark Hero motherboard and Ryzen 5950X, so I've constantly had these problems.

 

I called in to HP yesterday and managed to get a new cable sent to me, but only after being redirected to different support departments SEVEN times.

 

When I finally got the right person, I took down the department name and phone number, so if any of you haven't called yet:

My cable is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I could live with it as it was, but if this eliminates some of the random crashes and allows me to use the native usb c port without the usb adapter, it will be worth the wait and money. It is a shame I had to pay for something that it should have had from original delivery. The price I pay for being an early adopter. Right now, you get the G2 for at least $150 cheaper and it will come with the new cable or will get it upgraded for free.

It would be nice if the cable was smoother. The existing cable sticks to everything 😋

 

There's a fix to that... just apply some baby powder with a cloth and it will get smooth. Here's a video of someone who did just that, in German though (translated subtitles seem to be halfway OK):

I got my cable yesterday. It now works with my MB’s built in USB C port.

I’ll have to get more flight time in to see if it fixes the audio and USB disconnects. I can say that it seems to have an easier time centering my view.

I got the new cable today. I have an MSI X570 board and previously I had been able to use one usb 3.0 port on the back but with some audio drop out issues, so I swapped the G2 to a front USB 3.0 port on my case and it was a bit more stable.  Now with the new version of the cable I can just use the USB C port on my mb and after flying around for 90 minutes I had no issues.

Registered my headset after creating a hp account on Canada hp support site. put in my serial number located on a sticker in the faceplate begins 8CC and is very small. Then I hit the chat with HP support typed in the box I had a AMD motherboard and had to buy a usb expansion card to use the headset.  Got a rep in chat they asked me to confirm my address and my serial number. He asked if I tried unplugging it and replunging it in. I told him yes that's why I bought the expansion USB  card. They apologized for me having to do that. Told me they would ship me the new cable. That was it took 10 min didn't have to voice talk with anyone. 5 hours later I got a email with my tracking number great job by HP.

also I had bought my G2 on ebay not through a store.

C3PO. I live in the UK. I have the contact details/phone number in work and will post them for you tomorrow.

 

I logged the call with HP on Friday and got the replacement cable today.

 

Further to what previous (maybe USA based) members have said, HP (UK) have emailed me and sent returns labels and instructions in the box with the cable stating that I must return the original within 5 days.

 

Regards

In the G2 box there is paperwork that came with the product there is a sheet with several support numbers. May have to call one of them to get to your region.

You were lucky.... my G2 has been faultless for 8 months till about 5 days ago.... now it is virtually impossible to get a connection on whatever USB3... dropping freq to auto from 90Hz sometimes works.... Registered it as a warranty fault - HP believe a new type cable may help - me I'm not so sure but time will tell... anyway email Friday past, HP are out of stock on the cable, at least UK that is......

They told me they were out of stock too, and I still got the cable two days later. Hopefully that will happen to you as well. The US not the UK, in my case.

You got lucky, the HP rep I chatted with was great about setting me up for a new cable, however I got an email a few days later from HP Order Verification. They need a pic of the serial number and proof of purchase otherwise my order is cancelled.

C3PO - I called 0207 660 0403 (Monday - Friday 08:00 - 18:00) and once I discussed the reason for my call, I was transfered to the VR Headset Team. Very helpfull chap who requested the serial number and within a 5 minute chat it was all sorted.

 

Gizzy - i was also told (verbally and via email) that the cable was out of stock, but it still arrived (from the Netherlands) within 4 days including a weekend. Fingers crossed it will arrive soon.

I don't understand...my customer service experiences with HP have all been dreadful. I've been on the phone with them for 45 minutes now and been transferred to five...that's FIVE different departments trying to get this simple replacement cable. I'm presently on hold for number 6. WTF???

I called the business services number and asked for technical support. Only had to deal with one person. He asked me a lot of questions, but they were pertinent and I got the cable. The number I called was 800-334-5144. I think I had to ask for business services when I first called.

Always been great my end...G1 back 3 times over 2 years and this is the first issue on the G2.... the G1 was a business launch and consequently I always take the business options to contact.... worse wait was about 10 minutes... and all sorted promptly... might be worth always select the business line when calling and let then transfer....

I just got off the phone with HP VR support and wanted to let y’all know that he said that they are wanting to send updated G2 cables out to customers especially AMD users. The new cable and power brick has a switch on it now. Guy was real friendly and very helpful. I am not 100% sure but the new part # from what I gathered is 

M52188-001

 

If this has already been addressed here sorry. 
 

I called this support # 1-281-377-1382

 

i told them I was having issue with audio and troubleshooted that the cable was at fault where the pigtail goes in the little power brick.

 

 

Thanks for posting this mate, Just got off the phone with a very helpful HP support person and he said I should expect my new cable tomorrow !

 

My G2 currently works fine, but only via an external USB3 hub. Doesn't work with ANY USB ports on my x570 mobo. Be interesting to see if this resolves that, and if the preformance is any different.

 

Thanks again.
