A tiny spring popped out of this rig as I was assembling it and I have no idea what section it belongs to. Has anyone else had this issue? Please help

Sounds like the quick release plate. Same thing happened to me. You have to loosen the part that the plate goes over, and I believe theres a small hole that the spring fits into. Just take a close look at the part that the camera goes directly over the top of, you should be able to find it. Pretty much the only way to avoid that problem is to not loosen the side of the slider too much, as there is nothing to keep that spring from flying out like that.

It might be from one of the wingnuts used to tighten down the arms because they are spring loaded.

when you adjust the side to open up for the mounting plate, there are 2 springs that are on the side. They fall out often.

it sounds like the grip on it came undone in which case you need to take it apart and re-align the squishy rubber piece lol dont know what it is called but is pretty simple.

Not sure, but why don't you try to disassemble it first? It may be that you have a missing part or that it was assembled incorrectly. Check out this video for insight.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNupuo5ss4k

The company web sit may have that info. Meantime, flatten it in vise and maybe use a washer over it. A local machine shop would make a better one for a couple bucks

Mr. Fix says check with the manufactor for parts. If your handy try retrofitting the parts from a hardware store. How'd that break anyway? Good luck.

I had the same problem until I realized I had not 'threaded' it correctly under the rail. Check it against the diagram (I know it's not easy to see) but I would bet your problem is there. Good luck.

Salam....sounds like you put it together wrong. Of course it could be defective I suppose. I put mine together like the picture and it works fine...

I've had the same experience. Can't get it apart again. I'm just going to buy another fan.

I really dont know. I havent had to take it apart yet. Sorry I wish Icould've been more help.

take the box spring off and change the spacer. then put box spring back on. I would suggest trying the middle spacer first, then if not right only have to change once.

This happened to mine. All you need to do is remove the fastener that holds the two pieces together and separate, clean in soapy water and reassemble, just don't tighten it as much as the factory did.

I am so sorry I saw a small pkg with tools to put it together but I can't remember what exactly was in it. The manufacturer is very nice. I would encourage you to contact the seller and request a solution to fix it. I am sorry but the desk is really cool I bought it for my son and he is really enjoying it. Good luck

Yes! I feel your pain, I kept looking and looking for the place and on the schematic it seems like it was on the part that made it turn from left to right. It is not there, it is actually in between the metal part somewhat hidden and recessed at the highest point of the articulating arm where it connects to the monitor and tray. Think of it this way, if the top/head of the arm was a donut... the adjusting weight screw is in the middle or hole of the "donut". Turning to the right adds tension. Make sure to adjust when you have your final monitors and keyboard as thats the weight you'll be working with me. Message me if you still need help. Yes!

I have yet to experience that problem but I would suggest a sporting goods or hardware store and maybe look for a similar part. You might want to consider calling the manufacturer to possibly score extra parts.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

I have had the same thing happen. Anyone have an answer to the original questoin (a diagram showing how the spring goes together)? Thanks

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!
