How to Fix the RST (ASR, A5R) Error on a Flexispot Desk

What Does This Error Mean?

First, it's hard to tell what this error actually says. It could look like:

  • ASR
  • A5T
  • RST
  • AST
  • A5r

Depending on how you read it, it could be any of these.

According to the Flexispot manual, the correct reading is "RST", which stands for "Reset".

This message is telling you to perform a reset operation.

How to Fix It

The solution is simple:

Lower the desk all the way to the lowest position. Keep holding the down button, and after a moment, the desk will move up slightly, indicating that the reset is complete.

After doing this, the error disappeared, and my desk started working again.

All good!

Conclusion

That’s how I fixed the RST error on my Flexispot standing desk.

Since the error message is a bit tricky to read, I couldn’t find a solution right away, so I decided to write this post.

I hope this helps someone!
