Eastsheen 4x4 Problem

[bballkid2076]

Today I recieved a brand new eastsheen 4x4 cube. It popped and the
pieces that popped were 2 centers 2 corners and 2 edges, all in the
same layer. Also, were 3 pieces without stickers (2 of them were the
same). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to rebuild this
without taking it completely apart? Thanks Alot in advance

With Eastsheens, I rebuild them layer-by-layer, turning the last layer at 45 degrees to pop the last edge(s) in.

So in your case, I would put in the corners first, turn the last layer 45 degrees, put in the last two edges. It may be difficult, but it's definitely possible.

Also, with this cube, you have to make sure all the pieces inside the cube are correctly placed, else the cube will completely lock up over one slice.

I never had an Eastsheen pop on me untill I loosened the screws way to much. And 3 pieces missing their stickers doesn't sound like a new cube to me. Where did you buy it?

There should also be a manual with the cube how to rebuild it (pretty difficult!)

I have the "manual", but oddly, it's an .exe.

I assume the pieces without stickers he's referring to are the inside mech pieces, rather than outside pieces that have already lost stickers. Macky has a tutorial with plenty of photos on how to put together a 4x4 ES. If you're uncomfortable snapping things in, you can take off the center pieces and unscrew one side so that things just drop in.

A 4x4 Eastsheen is quite complex, check out some of the online tutorials, and post if you need further help. Good luck.
