My wrm 2021 maglev is clicking loud

[ORTEGA]

I just got a wrm 2021 maglev and I love it but there is a problem that just came up.
There is an edge magnet that has gone loose. When turning it slams right onto the corner magnet and then it goes back , more inside its slot.
What should I do ?

Just take some superglue and put it back into place

the easiest thing to do is superglue the magnet back into place. Another thing you can do is talk to the store you got it from and ask for a replacement piece if you got the cube recently.

edit: seems like sub1hour hit post before I did

The thing is it didn't come out. The actual magnet is slamming back and forth in his spot. The plastic window is still there not letting it out.

I would disassemble the cube, open the edge and put a drop of super glue on the magnet to re-secure it.

E: It appears i have been triple ninja'd

Exactly, You have to take the caps off to access the little magnet compartment, then glue the magnet back into the compartment

How do you open an edge ? Is there a technique ? or just brute force the caps ?

Are you reffering to the "stickers" or the plastic window?

The “stickers”, IE the colored part. For most cubes it’s easy to separate the caps just by running something like a plastic razor or box cutter along the seam of the piece where the edge meets the cap, but be careful to not cut the plastic or yourself

The caps on the WRM do seem particularly hard to remove, I tried but I wasn't game to force it. If anyone has a better idea of exactly how to remove them without damaging the cube I would love to know!

However, I have had luck with putting a small drop of super glue into the slot of the magnet adjustment system, where the screwdriver goes (or the little plastic tools that no one uses). I used a needle to take a very small amount of glue that I'd squeezed onto a surface, and kind of pushed it in. As it dried, some of the glue bubbled up, so I wiped it off, keeping the surface even. Obviously the magnet can't be adjusted any more, but it's not clicking (and I've had the cube long enough to know that I like setting 1). Of course all necessary disclaimers, this is just what worked for me and I've only tried it a single time, so processed with caution!

Oki, thanks you guys for the quick answers. I'll first contact SCS to see what they can do before attempting anything.
Does someone knows a post or vid that shows how it is made inside ? (Wrm or something similar) I might have an idea on how to fix it without making it impossible to set it up.
