Headset working fine for months, now suddenly Error 208?

Post Body

I've tried every troubleshooting method under the sun. Unplugged and plugged every cable back in, restarted my computer, tried Beta branch, uninstalled and reinstalled SteamVR, tried Direct and non-Direct modes. No matter what, my headset just has two steady blue lights, no display. What can I do to fix my 1k USD paperweight? I'm terrified of doing an RMA, as I'm most likely past the 6 month period and I've had to do an RMA on my Index before.

My GPU is an RX 580 4gb, and I don't have a standalone USB 3.0 card or standalone Displayport card (if such a thing even exists). You guys gotta help me, I'm at my wit's end with this thing.

EDIT: FIXED! I updated my drivers to the most recent ones, and started SteamVR without having my headset plugged in, restarted it when it was plugged in, and it started working.
