Rubik's Cube (Store Bought) Restoration?

[TimMc]

Today someone dropped my cube yet again but this time it was one too many... It didn't break but the tension is looser than before and now it jams. It never jammed during a combination of finger-tricks before.

Method 1
- Use a 25th Anniversary Core with Center pieces

Method 2
- Cut the center caps off
- Cut rivets off the core
- Use a Rubik's DIY Core and screws

Method 3
- Same as Method 2 except the last step:
- Use a 25th Anniversary Core and screws

I can try each one in that order but does anyone know a better hybrid with these parts? (I'm going to avoid Type A/D etc -slash- Rubiks Hybrids for the moment).

its probably because one of the springs got loose or got stuck. remove the center caps and find it. happened to me as well.

why not just buy a rubik's diy cube?

Whan a cube drop on a corner the screw can bend, this is causing the jamming . I never succeded in removing the rivets of a "Store Bought" I would use a DIY core of Rubik else a Hybird cube of core ype A/D and use the Cubies of Rubik, ask Erik Akkersdijk what is the best combination as he is using a Hybrid cube
