This guide shows how to remove and replace the front cover (aka front shell or faceplate) for your Meta Quest 2.

The front cover is the white plastic piece that covers the front of the headset. Removing the cover gives access to the motherboard.

Note: You'll need a long PH00 bit or a dedicated PH00 screwdriver to remove some recessed screws.
