new happy user today~

my last finger's skin started to peel off... how did u guys hold it? finger feels damn painful

First timer here, get below result + flicker thumb success

This shows that your grip still isnt that strong yet. You have to do it repetitively in a disciplined fashion to build your wrist and finger strength . Imagine the best score in the world, 16+k, how hard it is required to grip

bro daijoubu, my powerball vibrates quite obvious and quite noisy.. is it faulty or need cleaning? i only gotten it for 2 days

Here's my best score so far :

noisy is pretty common, but vibrates, it shouldnt if you've been gripping it hard properly
if u dropped it or u've been slacking your hand while slowing down, it might start to vibrate
request for a support ring replacement la from the link in my first page

bro daijoubu, i noticed my ball is spinning with an uneven sound and got some clicking. i try to open d ball, but i knock it until my hand so painful also cannot open. how leh?

hey..may i know where to get this powerball thingy?

This sounds like u've dropped it la . Its its like 'tak tak tak' could be caused by dropping.

U have to open the ball to clean and inspect. Have u watched the video on how to open? Make sure the screw hole one of it face down and the other face up, then curl your hand up like a fist and hammer it down on the other screw part. Make sure u hit with the softer side of the hand, not the hard wan, if not u sure pain .

Never dropped it. I followed the video and I did try to hit with the soft side of my hand. still cant open. Now the meter also not responding. I suspect d meter got damaged by heat. Coz d other day i received my package from the postman, the ball is very warm inside and d meter wasnt working until d ball cooled down.

u have to hit harder, a sudden hammering down. continue trying, it'll take a few times for u to get it

once u managed to open it up, pop out the rpm meter, and unscrew it, try to check whether the batteries are ok and whether it requires replacement
same time, check whether the plastic tracks on the plastic shell has any dents or not

i'd help u open if u can come to pj

else, send it back to me, and i see what i can do to rectify the problem. i might have a replacement rpm meter somewhere here

you are miracle. lol... i gave few more hit, can open. cleaned the plastic rim and it does feel smoother. thanks.

but the meter still not ok. Took off the 6 screws and slowly align back with the batteries. Screw it back, can switch on, but it wont register any numbers. can go to nsd website to request for replacement?

btw, i noticed it is using square washer. isnt rotating axle shd use round washer? at least that is what i learn in classroom.

hehe first few times you'll feel hessitant to hit the ball hard
but that plastic is made to withstand crazy forces. apparently to spoil it, you'll have to leap off a 3rd floor level and land on it . well im not gonna try to find that out, but thats what was said in the website la

anyway, the rpm meter wont register numbers you say? meaning when you spin and spin, it wont even detect the rpms, or it wont save the highest scores? what mode are you in? (what logo is the rpm meter selected)

edit : yes you can request for a replacement from nsd website . link is in my first page. just tell them your rpm meter not working they'll send a free replacement =D

edit 2 : try reading this link and do the following and see whether it cures the problem?

Thanks for the info bro. I think the reed is spoilt. No matter what mode, it still show zero and power off after a while. Already asked for replacement.

Btw anyone know why is it square washer not round?

alright keep me updated on the parts replacement progress ya

as for the washer, that i have no idea too 0.o
when i opened it i was asking myself too
perhaps to prevent the washer from spinning together with the rotor? cause the washer seats inside the square hole of the support ring

Logic also, but wierd design. Btw, how long does it normally takes for them to respond to the email? Coz emailed since sunday nite until now no response.

i have no idea actually i never used that option before 0.o
but if until tomorrow dont have, try using the other link? parts replacement =D.
