Dayan Guhong v2 problem

[2minutenoodlezz]

Loosen the screw on that face. If it stays attached that means tension is too tight on that face. So.. loosen it even more

ive tried that but it seems like it just doesnt want to work so im thinking it is the pieces' problem. i want to try sand the part that get stuck down. is that a good idea???

Pictures of the piece and core, please.

Yep.. that is what I was going to suggest.

Check to see if there is anything different with that face compared to another working face.

Don't start sanding randomly, that won't help. We need to check out first what exactly is giving the probs and it could very well NOT be that particular piece.

Is it the same with all four faces up on the front side?

I have found that sometimes a corner cut on a particular side (say.. yellow) works better with the green up front than with the blue or something like that. Weird, but yeah. Have you tried that?

the problem being, that all sides dont corner cut properly i will try to get a video up showing u asap

if u r not happy with the product , u can request for a refund since its ebay

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Dang I wish I was there so I could fix that for you.

It is all lubrication and tensioning properly (and that means taking the entire cube apart to the core and lubing that too).

If you're having problems, your tensioning/lubing is really bad. What lube are you using? Have you modded the cube in any way? Are there any other mentionable factors that are affecting your cube?

 

[2minutenoodlezz]

i searched up how to lube it properly with lubix and did exactly wat it said lubing the centre and all that. i have tried tensioning it and yeh but on youtube i saw a video of a guys assembling it and it corner cut without the lubing perfectly fine so im trying to find out wat the hell is wrong with it. and as i have said i will try and get a video up asap once i get time

Post some pictures up of the Hardware (Core, edge, corner.. Does it even have springs?) Just check these factors, post a picture and i am 100% sure this will all be over so much quicker.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Dayan Guhong V2, because of all the positive reviews.

Out of the box, I thought that the cube felt better than my ZhanChi - but it somehow felt a little 'cheaper'.

I usually average around 25 seconds, but after a few solves I realised that my average had increased by around 5 seconds. I tried tensioning the cube tight, loose and a few different ones in-between but I just couldn't find the right tension...

I then decided I would take the cube apart and fully lubricate every little part. I took the core apart, removing the screws/springs/washers and applied a little bit of lubricant to them all.

When putting the cube back together, I realised that one of the core pieces didn't look right (see below)

Surely a defect like this can't cause such major problems with the cube (lock-ups etc)? I've asked the seller for a refund/new cube, but the last thing they said was that the defect isn't that bad so they'll just give me $6 ($3 because they sent me a white cube when I ordered black, and another $3 because the core is defective - I'm so frustrated... a new one from the same site is around $15, and they sent me the wrong one in the first place!)

Anyway... I don't know if I should buy another cube, a new core, or stick with my ZhanChi...

Any help would be appreciated!

it's like that with my Zhanchi as well, I just tension that side looser than the other ones. What website did you buy from?

I am a big Guhong v2 fan. I would highly suggest buying another one or buy a new piece from http://thecubicle.us/dayan-guhong-center-piece-white-p-91.html
I would highly suggest not ordering from that store again.

Thanks - I would probably go for the new one, if these guys don't offer me a new one... and I won't be using them again!

Unfortunately I live in the UK, otherwise I would!

There's a nice & reliable Rubik's Cube shop online based in the UK, but they don't stock Guhong V2 yet - and don't know if they ever will

 

[2minutenoodlezz]

uhhhhh dw guys i managed to fix up the problem. idk how i actually did it but at least it's fixed now. although i did it without taking the advice from u guys, i still thatnk u guys for ur time

 

[TimMc]

Doesn't the cube come with an authenticity card with a serial number for the cube? <.<

Tim.

 

[5BLD]

Most online stores snatch them for themselves and just send the cube

 

[mati1242]

If I know right only cubes that comes with it are:
ZhanChi
LingYun
- Dayan GuHong v2 doesn't come with autenticity card.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
