In another comment he said you must repaste

You simply boot again. It takes a few cycles to get going, but then it works normally. It happens every time you disconnect the battery.

@@nighteye5253 Thank you 👍, Now I get some confidence to do it my self.

😃👍

Thanks for the update, much appreciated!! 😄

You can flip the arms up and down as well, but the pivot point is always at the same height compared to the cushion seat, as it is fixed to the frame of the chair.

same problem with my Victus 16 i5

same problem mate, any solution yet?

See the pinned comment. There should be some details there.

Yeah, the chair is fine for those measurements. Especially because I'm pretty much the same 😂. And just as an update, the chair is still holding up like a champ today.

Make sure you have properly inserted the battery connector back in place. Then, try to turn on your laptop again. The first time you do this, you may have to turn it on a few times. Also, you will see a CMOS message, because the battery was removed and resetted. That's normal.

I'm just over 170 cm tall. One of the Amazon pictures for this chair contain some reasonably detailed measurements. If not, try the Amazon link in the video description, as it's the UK website. That one does have them.

@@nighteye5253 thanks :D

@@nighteye5253for the record im exactly six feet so im on the high end for most chairs and that generally means more expensive, ive only got roughly 180ish canadian to spend and youtubbe/amazon is a minefield of misinformation....anyways thanks again for the vid and the response :D

Yup, it's very very hard the first time you do it.

Hi! I'm a little over 170 cm, and can sit on the chair at its maximum height while keeping my feet on the floor. So, based on that, I am guessing you should be able to sit on it quite comfortably, but maybe at a lower chair height. One thing I'll say, when you sit down, it's ideal if you manage to sit all the way back in the chair, to take advantage of the lumbar support.

@@nighteye5253 You're right, I sit for 8 hours a day and my back is breaking, I especially need good lumbar support

@@nighteye5253 You're right, I work ten hours a day, I have a sore back, and I need good lumbar support badly.

Sorry, I haven't tried those chairs myself, so I cannot provide an informed suggestion on that.

Glad you found it useful! 😁

Two things: - Make sure all the screws directly on the heat sink are completely unscrewed. (They don't come out all the way, but you can hear them click when you try to unscrew them further). - Make sure to remove the two small screws at the far left and right of the heat sink, near the hinges. If you try to lift the heat sink up, it becomes quite obvious which of the screws are still holding it on, just look near the hinges. If even these are removed, then you probably have a case of dry thermal paste holding onto the heatsink. Best solution is to let your computer heat up (play games, run cinebench, whatever you want to stress it), in the hope to heat up and soften that paste. Once you do that, you should be able to lift the heatsink up using a small amount of force.

You can use compressed air from any position (I would do all vents and air intake). But the important thing is to make sure to prevent the fans from spinning. If you can do that without opening the cover, great. (I'm thinking if you have a thin solid wire that you can pass through the grating at the bottom and keep the fans from spinning, maybe that works?). But my suggestion is to at least remove the bottom panel for an easier time while working. Once you open it a few times, it gets progressively easier to open it the subsequent times. However, keep in mind that compressed air can't get rid of the sticky dust. For that you'll need the good old brush (and opening the bottom panel for sure).

@@nighteye5253 Thanks very much this is helpful! I read else where a suggestion to actually keep the fans running while using compressed air.... That seems like a dicey situation!

I've already had to replace the fans once and defo do not to repeat that experience! They do great job of cooling even if they are a little noisy but the dust situation is not good!

@@aBrokenShard The reason why we need the keep the fans from spinning is that compressed air can make them spin faster than their rated value. That can wear down the bearings prematurely, which means the fans can fail earlier than expected.

@@aBrokenShard That's the unfortunate reality of air based cooling systems. You could put a dust filter in front of it, but then that reduces air flow. It's a fine balance between having a cover of some sort and keeping the fans completely in the open. 😂

If you mean keeping the arm rests raised at an angle, then no, you can't do that. The arms are either up vertically or down horizontally. There is some resistance for it to stay at an angle, but as soon as you put some weight, like the arms, it will go down to horizontal. Correct me if that's not what you're asking.

Lumbar support is important in any ergonomic chair. There are different levels of it, and it's not always adjustable. Outside of marketing, have a look at videos or articles about proper posture and you'll realise lumbar support plays a pretty big role. I'm not saying this chair will fix posture, but it helps in not making it worse. From my experience, I can sit down on the chair (any ergonomic chair will do) for hours, and my back won't hurt when I stand up again. With my old chair, I had to stand up every thirty minutes or so because it was not comfortable, and at the end of the day my back was always aching. This is why I decided to change it. At the end of the day however, anecdotal proof is not as strong as proper testing, so if you get a chance, try sitting down on a chair that has some form of lumbar support and see how that feels. (You have to sit down a certain way of course. Just crouching on this chair is no different than crouching on a plastic chair, just more comfortable. You have to lean back and rest on the backrest and lumbar support)

@@nighteye5253 thx very match for answer! :)

Hi! I ordered through Amazon as that's where I found this chair, so it came the day after I ordered. (I do have Prime, so it would take a few days without)
