My DK1 is on and functional, but the buttons to adjust the brightness aren't working. I can't increase brightness, which make...

Unfortunately, Oculus VR doesn't offer replacement/repair services for the DK1 because they have already released a DK2 and are working on an even newer consumer model. On the other hand, this gives you a lot of freedom in what screen you can use. You can actually use an iPad mini screen to replace your Oculus Rift screen, but in case you don't have a broken one of those around, there are other models you can use. The screen I recommend is the Innolux hj070ia-02d 7" LCD screen. You can buy the Innolux LCD on Amazon or Ebay for relatively cheap. To make sure you actually need to replace the screen, refer to the Oculus Rift Troubleshooting page, and follow the directions from there. To access the display screen, use the Oculus Rift DK1 Teardown guide. Hope this helps!
