With my tornado V2, I have to position the center cap so that it can fit into the places it needs too. So if you're trying to put it in a certain way, try doing it from different angles. That's how it works for me. Also, if it feels and looks like it's halfway in, but the other side isn't doing it, I suggest using a bit more force. Not enough to the point that you break the cube, just enough so that it might go in.

Do NOT tell your parents about it. I know that you won't but it will be bad news if you do. I got a Rubik's cube from my grandma for Christmas, (GAN 365 Air) and I broke it almost immediately. I told my dad, and he got pretty mad. It would've been worse if he wasn't able to fix it (I tried adding magnets later on, and it turned into a monstrosity), but thankfully, it did.

If you don't think you're responsible enough to fix it, ask one of your parents if they can carefully reassemble it. It's not broken so there's nothing for them to be upset about. Just explain to them why you did it.

My parents know nothing about cubes, I tried for ~2 hours last night instead of doing my homework. I have took out all the other pieces and put tensions on their lowest settings, still can't get it in.

You can use this tutorial. I used it to fix my 2x2 before.

Didnt work, sorry.

 

[PandoraJ]

loosen the tension a bit till you can wiggle it in?

 

[EthanMCuber]

try loosening the cube a bit til you can? I’ve never had that so I’m just guessing

 

[Cuber.Hello.com(:]

Oh. I thought that you were talking about 3x3s. Forget everything I said.

 

[Meanjuice]

Maybe you can get the piece in by taking out a different one and then putting it back in? I’m not sure but in might work because the other piece wouldn’t be the logo piece. I’m not sure honestly.

 

[sDLfj]

Do you know how you got it out? To put it back in, try loosening the 3 screws adjacent to the missing piece (if you can). Turn the top face 45*, and try to wedge it back in. Take one hand to hold the two pieces on the top layer apart, and then push one edge of the logo piece where it belongs, and push on the other side to pop it in (try different angles for this). It should hopefully go in. If that doesn't work, try to find a youtube tutorial of disassembling/reassembling a 2x2 cube, if you can't find one, try to find a tutorial for 3x3.

I have taken everything out, and loosened tension as much as I can. I'm pretty sure that my best strategy would be to take the edge pieces next to it apart so that the other half can wiggle a bit.

for 2x2 i usually put the edge thing last

maybe just take apart the whole thing and then put it back together?

I've been trying. The only problem is that the logo piece's edges are connected to the hooked center, so they dont move and it is difficult to put it

you take the 2x2 apart, unhook one of the edges, put the piece in, and then put the hooked edge back in. Then reassemble the 2x2 from there.

You need to put the corner back in though. That doesn't work. HOWEVER...
I FOUND A WAY THAT WORKS. SUI. I figured it out by myself, I will post a tutorial in another thread just in case anyone else has this problem again.
