I cannot get the pins to go into the slots. When I press, they just slide back into base away from slots.. I even tried blow drying. HELP!

Once I got the middle piece in I made sure the white ball was lined up, then I put pressure on the mirror while holding the back and pushed. Eventually it snapped right in.

Deborah, They should be work but the pins stretch and do not hold as well after you use them the first time. I am still using mine but sometimes I have to bend them back in shape.

Doesn't matter. I just use the color (red, purple, green, golden, silver, etc) to mark them. Try some of the pins into the hole, let it just a tiny bit lower(aligning to the surface will make trouble) than the surface. And try to turn the key after you put all 5 pins into the position. It should be smooth!

I was having this issue too. I thought I had a defective piece and was about to send it back, but thought I'd call the company first. I got through to a rep almost immediately and she made me do the same thing I was doing before but somehow it worked. To summarize: 1. Push the green cartridge away from the top, towards the cup. 2. Hold the bottom part on the floor, line the top with the bottom and push the top part in really, really hard. If you are able to pull them apart with your hands, then it's not hard enough. I really had to use my full body weight to push it in. 3. Slide the green cartridge into the joint and you are good to go. The rep told me that normally you don't need to use that much force, but with some of the pieces, the assembly is not perfect and needs a lot of force. Hope that helps.

Make sure the staples are the right way ( so the point would go through) and then make sure the back part that slides in clicks. If that doesn't work then maybe yours is defective. That happens.

Instructions say slot should be horizontal but really needs to be vertical, push pin into hole, pull lightly remove pin and finish pulling. Printed instructions are incorrect.

No that is not normal, nor does it mean it defective though. You may have a piece of sand/dirt preventing the seal on the pin to close fully.

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

I had the same problem. I had to slowly push it in using my thumbnail to recess it slightly in the slot to get it to stay in.

You slide them out (each of them independently). I had to use a needlenose plyers and have someone stronger than I pull them out. I read someone suggested putting vasoline in the slot afterward so that next time it will be easier. I used silicone instead.

Hi Lacie.All that I remember is that you have to interpret their badly expressed instructions precisely right the first time or you damage a pin and make the installation impossible.Unless you are cleverer than my pretty clever brother, I'd buy something else. (We were unable to get a replacement pin from the company.)Good luck.

Use a pair of tweezers. You may also try using a small flat head screw driver by pushing the card up by applying pressure to the notch on the card.

You can try pushing from the holes inthe top.... I had no problem, I just pinched the bottom of mine and bent it. There are actually 2 of them inside... hope this helps

Mine just slots in and out. There are a couple of buttons on each side to depress when you remove it. You might try holding those in when you pop it back, although mine just clicked back into place without doing this.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

Hi Kristine,I inserted the pin through the front of the crystal and through the hole in the metal ring and bent it down (just like a hook).Hope that helps!

It happened with me also, I started watching for the pin to start drifting out of place and any time that I noticed it starting to happen I used a pliers to push it back into place. I suppose that if it gets worse you could use a drop of super glue to secure It in place.
