Remove the console from the treadmill and remove the back
remove and replace the ribbon cables that run from the keypads to the control board (they are flat plastic strips that push into the board).
remove and replace all the connections on the console
reattach the console and calibrate by doing the following:
1. With the key off press the speed + and stop buttons at the same time and hold
2. place the key on and release the buttons
3. press the stop key once
4. press the speed up til it reaches 85
5. if your max speed is 10 mph then it should read about 9.8-10.2

If the keys will not work then the console is bad and would need replaced.

The ribbon cable is molded plastic that is attached to the buttons, it is similar to a microwave touchpad. Unfortunately you can not purchase these separate anywhere unless you can get a used console on ebay.

Customer replied 1035 days and 23 hours ago.

so are you saying to just remove the existing ribbon cable and re-install----is that what you meant

yes try that and hopefully it is just a bad or dirty connection. Sometimes sweat will get into the console and cause problems.
