For context: I have 2 Tethers for my index. My original and my replacement. I've been using my replacement ever since my original tether shit the bed a few years back. Last night i tried getting on vr and i got a windows notification stating "Windows does not recognize the last connected USB Device and has malfunctioned." So my replacement tether is totally cooked. I then decided to use my original tether and to my surprise it worked just fine. I then try to get on vr today about an hour ago from now, and i can hear the USB connecting successfully, but SteamVR now says it isnt detecting my headset. I did just about everything under the sun to try to fix it, and nothing i did worked. I've gotten multiple ppl telling me its either A) My Index or B) My tether. Getting both would be the best bet to have at least a clean slate as my vr equipment is hella old, but to get both it would most likely be close to 700 USD and i dont have that kind of money lying around so. I'm basically cooked. 😐
