Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!

Something may not be connected correctly inside the tool or the button may not be slide forward tight enough. Try taping the slide into position, just be careful to not bend the needle since you can't retract it without undoing the tape.

The faceplate could possibly be out of place and pressing down on the buttons. Check to make sure it is lined up properly.

All of the below, straight, Parallel, level. You can test it by taking the drawer out and individually testing the slide action. If the slides work great without the drawer your are getting binding somewhere. Put the drawer back in with the back brackets slightly loose and see if it solves your problem. Tight when done though.

Mine is not bent at all. It lies flat and tight. It does sound like the one you received may be damaged. I hope this info is helpful. Good luck.

Return it. It soundss like a defect. Mine slides very easy and closes all the way

I suggest reshaping it using a vice or a couple pairs of vice grips to make the base as flat as possible. I actually saw those tabs off with a hack saw which decreased the stability of the base. I've since bought another knob. It sucked too. I put parts from two knobs together to make one good one.

None at all but I have heard some complain that it falls off. I triple checked mine when I got it home by lightly pressing at different places with no visible signs of bending or movement. In my opinion it's probably caused by the packing combined with the shipper/store pulling from a shelf and allowing it to drop to the floor. Hey I used to work at one making less than $9 an hour when I was in college. We didn't care how we handled them, in fact I would bet some enjoyed roughing them up cause they could never afford one. If you locally bought take it back and inspect the next one otherwise try calling sony...

I had a similar issue and found that it was a result of tightening the posts too much. The cams they used are also of lower quality so many that actually locked into place didn't give you the "click" feeling that would let you know you had it right. I put mine together with full anticipation that it need to be fix within a few weeks, so far (4 months later) it's holding strong to daily use with no indication of loosening.

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

I haven't had that problem with mine. Make sure the green slider button above the roller is fully to the left.

the problem i had after opening the box, was that i couldnt move the red lever in the right. it was very hard and did not want to break it. so i put oil with a paint gun and after it was softer. i think we have to move this red lever with care because the movement to tight a side of the metal slider, is very short. no force it we can break the lever. after this care treatment. the plate We can easily squeeze and release.

Have same issue with posts on panel cover also snapped. Original switch works but dropped down and hard to use buttons. Good luck, Jeremy. Please comment if you find part name or ID and if you find a source; I will too. Best!

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!
