I recently bought a used ISIS puzzle off ebay. The original Owner informed me she was never able to get it open. I was making progress with the puzzle, and the third BB ( think was were it needed to be) I felt the plunger, go down half way, I thought I had just solved the puzzle, I tunred it back face up and the two halfs began to unscrew. Then it locked up. The BB's are silent and the Placentas are not lined up, for I was trying to unscrew the puzzle. I took a pic of what it looks like:

Your locking mechanism is engaged but the balls are locked in place.
Try twisting the opposite way whilst wearing rubber gloves for grip.

Should sort it out.

New mechanism...

Bought an Isis in Aug 2012. The new ones have a different locking mechanism. The two BBs in the bottom part are now more difficult to get in place. The old procedure won't work anymore.

Sometimes the locking mechanism gets back in place while unscrewing it.... I had once with an Isis. My remedy was just to hit on a surface and luckily the mechanism just slit back. Had to do this because the main BB wasn't in the right place.
Well it worked for me! Smile

broken isis
i think i broke it

ok,

so when i fist got my isis for christmas it was working fine. i seemed to be on the right track to opening it...
at one point i was able to start unscrewing the halves.. i moved them 2-3 mm and there was a slight gap between the two halves and the placentas were about 2-3mm apart, but all of a sudden the ball locked up.. i tried to turn it the opposite way but it just closed the gap and got stuck even more.. now i can only hear the 3bb (on the top half) rolling around.. i cannot hear the bottom two.. i know for sure it is the 3rd bb.. this is because you can hear it get stuck to magnet and by hitting the ball you can hear it drop and roll around... i can even get the plunger to go halfway.. but from here i dont know what to do... the bottom two bb dont move or make a sound at all.. what happened?? is it broken??

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

ISIS Puzzle

The swirling really makes no difference. I am not sure how else to tell you to do it other than that. Once it is released it will drop into place and then you should be at the half way point.

Stuck

So I got mine to the "halfway point" a while ago, and I've been stuck trying to get the two other bbs to go silent. Every time I get them to go silent, I depress the plunger completely, flip it, and the bbs fall out again. I'm worried that it's broken, but it probably isn't. Any help would be appreciated. Confused
