Thanks for this. My disc fell off its perch and lost both feet. I suspect this has saved me a lot of frustrating hours trying to figure out how to get them back on.
Thanks, my Disc has been falling over like a drunk for months and I finally decided to fix it, the internal part was only partrly dislodged but I couldn't get he foot to clip back in. Found this opened it up so I could hold it still and clip it on and bingo!
Had the same problem but got lucky. The spring housing was ok so I put the foot in place and turned the foot and spring through 180deg anti-clockwise which tightened the spring, foot clicked into place - job done. No tools required just perseverance but don’t force it or it will break.😅
There's no need to take the router or disk apart to replace a foot that's popped off - you'll just trash the plastic clips holding it together and mark the plastic. Turn the black plastic housing in the hub or disk that the foot sits in 90 degrees so that it's tensioned and keep it in this 'closed' position using a tool. I used a small penknife. The foot will push/clip back into place in the closed position. Remove the penknife and it will spring out to the stand position.
Can you believe I took mine off (I was hanging it on the wall) later relocated back to the floor I had to put both the little blighters back on. Fiddliest thing I've done in ages, nearly left via the window on several occasions.
😂😂 just watched this wot a load of hassle. Trust me no need to fiddle about like this or remove back. I have the same discs and when you look where foot needs to go you can see the spring you point out but just mirror the position of the existing foot press with force whilst wiggling foot slightly at the same time and hey presto it pops back in 👍👍👍
Just replaced both feet after giving your clip a quick look, very fiddly but managed without moving the electronics and thankfully no broken bits when finished but what a crap design. Going to use superglue if it happens again.
Exact same thing happened to me was hoping there would be a repair video somewhere. All that high tec inside and some cheap plastic mechanism holding it together no wonder things break easily. I will be trying your method of repair tomorrow, thanks for the video.
Thank you, mine fall and one of the legs got disconnected.. I pressed the wrong way and that piece that you fixed fall from its place. Was a bit worry about opening but thanks to you got all fixed up. Thanks again
Good video however - the feet holder on one side came detached on my disc - so an improved video also showing which foot goes on which side and also how to re mount the foot holder would be a great thing to do, mounting the foot holder is a major issue when you try and slot it back into place, there is definitely a process which needs to be followed in order to make it work.
Simplest way is not to open it up. If attachment point has gone inside slightly you should be able to clip it back in place by using long nose pliers and pulling out. Now the best part. Trim a small amount from the clip part of feet and they will now clip back on with less force.
Thanks for this very helpful video. One additional tip: put the leg back on BEFORE trying to sort the spring. Just make sure the leg holder is the right way in place so the leg is at the proper sprung out angle. The spring should then be close to the hole it needs to go into. It’s then easier to get the spring into place with tweezers. That saves a lot of frustration😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I’ve only encountered this problem with a home hub, but if the plate under the foot is still turning and the spring isn’t broken, try positioning the foot so that its tabs are directly under the two small holes on the rotating plate. Push the foot in and try turning both it and the plate clockwise. If you’re lucky, the foot will snap back in. Took me thirty minutes of fiddling, but it can be done.
hello Daniel you alright. I got the same problem with you. Just wonder if you could show me how to open the cover in the first place? Thats the most important part indeed. Thank you.
Thanks buddy, such a stupid design to be fair. I think I am just going to glue the damn thing in place. I would have faffed around for ages without seeing this video first. Well done for your calmness :)
Yes, I saw it has a notch at the back. But those spring-loaded feet need parting or removing really to make it stay up. Plus, how many times I wonder would people in the house knock it off the wall.
Both the feet have come off my router but the spring bits are still inside - I can't quite see what you're doing at 3:21 - is your left index finger pulling the spring back or something? Can you put the foot back on without dismantling the router?
Big Thanks, followed your instruction on my footless disk and all now sorted 🙂

Thanks for doing this. My foot thing hasn't fallen off yet, but when it does, I'll be looking at this very, very carefully. Brilliant.
Thanks for the comment

Thank you so much! So frustrating but once I removed the electronic panel it was easy

Thanks. I've also done that, as it has hit the floor several times now.
Thanks! That penknife trick worked for me after a bit of fiddling, so great not to have to take things apart!

Know that feeling
Just found this after letting the disc lie on its side for the past few months, thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for posting this.......Fixed it thanks to your vid. Top Guy!!!
I'm glad it helped
@@daniel_coe Certainly did, thanks again!

Excellent, I fixed mine this morning thanks mate.
Glad it helped
Thanks followed the vid and managed to sort out the feet on my disk too!
Good job

Hi ours fell on to the floor and both feet came off,thanks for the review it helped a lot

A thin jewellers type screwdriver should open it up, just lever it open slowly all the way around the back of the unit.
You don't show the feet being fitted back on. They won't go on in my case. Please explain.
Thanks buddy, such a stupid design to be fair. I think I am just going to glue the damn thing in place. I would have faffed around for ages without seeing this video first. Well done for your calmness :)
Could keep it simple with wall plug and screw to wall mount using notch on back of disc.

Just dropped mine and both legs feel off : simple popped them both back in 🤷♂️
Why do all that...? They clip back in easily.. I've just pushed two back on, all working fine
I tried to do that and the feet clip cane off, the process is then 10 times more difficult
What a stupid video I smashed my disc trying to take it apart. (the supposedly easy bit he does not show).
Be nice if you actually showed how to push the feet back in.
But figured it out but wasted my time watching this vid.
As about useful as a chocolate teapot. Don't give up your day job
