How do I get help when my Styku turntable isn't spinning or my scan data is incomplete?

If your Styku turntable is not spinning or your scanner is producing incomplete or inaccurate data, you need to open a new support ticket. Replying to an old or closed email thread can cause significant delays — your message may not reach the right team, or it may not be seen at all.

Do Not Reply to Old Emails

When a support ticket is closed, replies sent to that email thread may not be routed correctly. This is one of the most common reasons customers experience long delays getting help.

Always start a fresh ticket when you have a new issue or when an old issue returns.

How to Contact Styku Support

You have two options to open a new support ticket:

Log in to the Styku Business Portal and complete the support ticket form. This is the fastest and most reliable method.

Styku does not offer phone support. Our target response time is 1 business day.

What to Include in Your Ticket

Providing the right details upfront helps the support team resolve your issue faster. Include:

Your business name and location
A description of the problem (e.g., turntable not spinning, inaccurate weight readings, incomplete scan data)
When the problem started
Whether the issue is happening on every scan or only sometimes
Any troubleshooting steps you have already tried

Common Turntable Issues

If your turntable is not spinning, you can try these basic checks before or while waiting for support:

Make sure the USB cable is firmly connected to both the turntable and the laptop.
Make sure the power adapter is plugged into the turntable and into a wall outlet. Look for a green indicator light on the adapter.
Unplug both the USB cable and the power adapter, then reconnect the USB cable first, followed by the power adapter.
Open Styku Studio, go to Tools, and press Start to test the turntable manually.

If none of these steps work, or if you are also seeing inaccurate weight readings or incomplete scan data, do not attempt further hardware disassembly. Submit a support ticket so the team can evaluate whether a repair or replacement is needed.

Note for Refurbished Unit Owners

If you are using a refurbished Styku unit, keep the following in mind when troubleshooting scan data issues:

Per Styku's refurbished unit terms, an active Styku software subscription (billed separately) is required to use a refurbished unit. Ensure your subscription is current before contacting support, as a lapsed subscription may affect scanner functionality.
Per Styku's refurbished unit terms, scans produced on a refurbished unit may not be directly comparable to scans from other hardware generations due to differences in cameras, sensors, and hardware. If you are seeing unexpected differences between historical and current scan data, this may be expected behavior rather than a hardware fault.
Per Styku's refurbished unit terms, all prior owner data — including scans, user profiles, and stored information — is permanently wiped by Styku before shipment. If you are missing data you expected to find on a recently received refurbished unit, that data cannot be recovered.

If this resolves your issue, no further action is needed.

If the problem persists, contact support and include: your business name and location, a description of the turntable behavior (not spinning, no lights, no power), whether the power adapter green light is on, any error messages shown in Styku Studio, and whether scan data is incomplete or weight readings appear inaccurate.

Applies to: All Styku configurations with a V6 or V5 Turntable (Styku X2L, X2, X2 Pro)
