I just received my virtual boy item from an e-bay memeber, Im not sure if the clamp part of the stand is broken?
Please see the attached picutre, the clamp is loose, am I not connecting the clamp to the stand correctly?
thanks

No worries. So long as the clamp stays steady(in other words, when you tight it using the flat black handle on the other side of the nut, it stops rotating) you’re fine.

The loose bolt poking out the other side is normal(though why they designed it that way is beyond me).

EDIT: Nope, sorry, just noticed the loose cylinder. Any way you can take a few more pics from different angles? Really hard to tell what’s going on there.

Like realyst says, more pictures are needed.

To that end, I’ve attached a pic (excuse the webcam quality) of all the parts of the clamp (with the legs removed).

If you have all of them, just put them together in alphabetical order and it should work.

It should not be possible to separate the clamp pieces that far without removing the cap nut (F) from the bolt (A), which are clearly both there and attached in your pic. Something’s probably broken or missing.

Without seeing the other side, it’s hard to tell what’s going on. By looking at mine and comparing it to what I can see of yours, it looks like either the spacer (B) is missing or there’s something wrong with the bolt (A).

I hope that helps.

OK, i took apart the clamp, followed the above instructions and worked a charm, many thanks

Glad I could help.
