The Back of the Office Chair is Broken
If the back of the office chair is broken, targeted solutions can be taken according to different fault manifestations.
If the chair's recline function is locked, this is a relatively common and simple issue. Just find the relevant button, pull it outwards, and then lean the backrest back, and usually the recline function can be restored. This locking design is originally intended to fix the backrest angle in certain scenarios, but sometimes it may be locked due to misoperation. Just follow the above method to unlock it.
If the recline function of a swivel chair fails, the situation is relatively more complex. First, check the status of the chassis screws and the gas spring. Turn the chair upside down and use a hex wrench to tighten the five internal hexagon bolts at the connection between the chassis and the seat. These bolts are generally distributed in a pentagram pattern. If these bolts are loose, it will create a gap between the chassis and the air pressure rod, thereby affecting the recline function. Next, check the gradient adjustment handle clip. If the plastic clip is broken, use a thin wire to wrap around the broken part for temporary fixation. For office chairs with a metal spring structure, if there is abnormal noise when reclining, using a thickened binding tape to fix the spring base can provide relief. Long-term use may cause the plastic gears to slip. In this case, insert a metal hairpin into the gear engagement to temporarily increase friction. When the gas spring shows a slow sinking phenomenon, it indicates that the internal nitrogen is starting to leak. In this case, it is not recommended to force a repair, but wrapping a rubber ring around the bottom can slow down the air pressure loss.
If the computer chair makes a clicking sound when leaning back, it is very likely that a screw is loose. Due to looseness at the connection points of the plastic or metal parts of the backrest, chairs of poor quality may also produce noise after long-term use due to wear at the connection points. After the seat has been used for a long time, the screws may become loose due to the chair's frequent shaking, causing the connection points to loosen. When under pressure, the connection points will produce misaligned friction, resulting in noise. At this time, carefully check the screws at each connection point and tighten them to solve the problem.
