I have a Nordictrack EXP1000 and when the deadman key is inserted, the board lights up but no keys work. When the deadman key is removed, it looks like it goes into demo mode. What do I do? I just got this from a friend because they said it was not powering up. I quickly found out the power switch was not on (ha ha ha) and was thinking I got a nice new free treadmill. Problem now is not only the apparent demo mode thing, and non operational keys, but it seems like its stuck in the inline position. I am not sure if its actually stuck in the incline position because with none of the keys working, it is hard to tell if its actually stuck.
Adjust the REED swicht , see diagram, clean it, and tight the plug very well.
2) clean the ribbon cables, for keypads, clean it.
3) tight the connector from display board vs lower board too
see the block diagram
After you fix it. RUN the software calibration for diagnostic, troubleshooting. too
God bless you

Sound like function pad or upper console I don't know if you can purchase the function pad, but you may have to purchase the entire console and that may quite expensive.

The only weak spot on the main controller board is the small rechargeable battery or a lithium button cell.
The memory battery is to keep the parameter information.
When the battery is damaged the liquid (electrolytic) drips downward on to other electronic items.
Any items under the "drip" pathway will need to be inspected and clean.
The battery can be on the front or rear on the main board,
Spend some time to locate this battery,
A simple $12 item can stop the unit from operating!
Please email me the part number or spec, info on the battery on reply.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-q-uS4t6so Insert the safety key fully into the display. Treadmills with keys are designed not to turn on without the safety key in place. Find the circuit breaker on the front of the frame and make sure it is not tripped. The circuit breaker is a vertical switch on the 540S and a horizontal switch on the 540 Interactive Trainer. Press it to the "Reset" position, which will be labeled. o 1 Unplug the treadmill and remove the safety key. o 2 Move the upright base of the treadmill down with the help of another person and lift the uprights so that you can get to the underside of the console. Use a Phillips screwdriver with at least a 5-inch shaft to remove the screws. There are five hood screws on the 540 Interactive trainer and four screws on the 540S. o 3 Remove the motor hood to get to the small reed switch by pivoting the hood off the frame. Find the reed switch and magnet, which are on the left side of the pulley for both models. o 4 Turn the pulley with your hand until the reed switch aligns with the magnet. There should be 1/8-inch gap between the two. Fix the distance so that it is 1/8 inch by loosening the reed switch screw and sliding it to the correct distance. Tighten the screw. o 5 Reverse the directions to put the hood back on and the treadmill upright in the original position.
Ensure that the treadmill is plugged into a grounded outlet using the correct surge suppressor. Use a UL 1449 suppressor listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). It must be rated for 15 amps and 120 volts AC. Secure the services of an electrician if the outlet is not grounded, or move the Proform treadmill near a grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord.

sincerely. Please keep me in touch.
When in Demo Mode, the console will go through a repeating lighting pattern. This
mode will only become active when the treadmill is plugged in, the main on/off switch
is turned on, and the safety key is not inserted into the console.
The Demo Mode was added to attract attention to the treadmill while it is on display. By
default, all treadmills with Demo Mode will come with it turned on. Demo Mode can be
turned off at any time.
Method #1 to switch from the Demo Mode:Press and hold the STOP button while inserting the safety key to enter the user
information mode.
Look in the Calories window. When Demo Mode is active, the letter 'd' will
appear.
Press the SPEED DOWN button to toggle the mode on and off.
Once the mode is set as desired, remove the safety key.
