Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand is unstable/wobbly. | Mounting clamp/grommet not tight enough. Desk surface is uneven or too thin/thick. | Ensure the C-clamp or grommet base is securely tightened. Verify desk thickness is within specified limits (10-90mm for C-clamp, 10-95mm for grommet). |
| Arm sags or does not hold position. | Weight capacity exceeded. Adjustment screws are loose. | Check that the combined weight of your monitor and laptop does not exceed 8 kg. Tighten all adjustment screws on the arm joints and pole. |
| Monitor/Laptop tray cannot tilt. | Tilt bolt is too tight or too loose. | Loosen the tilt bolt slightly to adjust, then re-tighten to secure the desired angle. |
| Difficulty attaching VESA plate to monitor. | Incorrect VESA screw size or pattern. | Ensure your monitor has a 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA pattern. Use the correct screws from the hardware kit. |
