Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your HLDIRECT Gaming Desk, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Assembly Issues

- Desk feels wobbly: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the desk is on a level surface. Adjustable footrests can be used to compensate for uneven floors.
LED Lights Not Working

- Remote/App not responding: Ensure the remote control has working batteries or that your smartphone app is correctly paired and within range.
Power Outlets Not Functioning
- No power: Verify that the desk's main power cord is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. Test the wall outlet with another device.
