I have a NordicTrack A2250, about 2 years old. When it's turned on, the control panel lights up, and when I insert a program chip, the console "speaks". However, the neither the incline nor the belt work/turn on, and none of the buttons will work. What do I do???

It seems that console's 12V circuit is malfunction.
you have to repair the lower control board

I had a similar problem. Mine was shutting off and also some of the buttons worked intermittently. I thought it was overheating so I bought a small fan and I even went so far as to drill holes in the cover near the motor so the fan would cool the motor better. Turns out it was the console overlay. I purchased a new one from the Treadmill Doctor since NordicTrack will only sell you the entire console, not just the overlay and they want somewhere north of $400 for it. All I had to do was remove the console cover, unplug the old console overlay, peel it off and then stick the new one on and plug it in and I've had no problem since then. It's been over 5 years now since I did this and if I recall correctly the overlay was around $100. Good luck

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.

ethod #1 to switch from the Demo Mode:
1.the STOP button while inserting the safety key tPress and hold o enter the user information mode.
2.Look in the Calories window. When Demo Mode is active, the letter 'd' will appear.
3.Press the SPEED DOWN button to toggle the mode on and off.
4.Once the mode is set as desired, remove the safety key.
Follow the steps and fix it.
God bless you

1) You must check the flexible cord between display board vs controller motor board, and tight very well

2) Try to access to the keypanel and clean with special spray (clean contact you can find in radio schack or computer store).

3) Try to Measure the +5Vdc for I.C. including EPROM, ROM, etc.

4) And try again.

5) Measure if the power supply to display is coming out from the Lower board or Motor controller board. If not the Motor controller is faulty. You must replace it.

Use Dvoltmeter.

Remember 90% aprx the Motor controller board access to the function in the display board, elevation motor, power input, etc.

sincerely.

The way to tell if your NordicTrack digital console is bad is to troubleshoot it first. If nothing works, you've got a bad console. The digital console is an important part of exercising. A manual machine will still work even if the console doesn't, but an automated machine needs the console to work so you can adjust things like speed, resistance and incline. You also can't use programs or see your time, distance or estimated calories burned without a working console. The two most common reasons that a console will be dim, display bad results, or won't turn on are bad batteries and a problem with the reed switch.

1. Replace the Batteries
   • 1 Replace the batteries first, if your machine has batteries. A manual machine such as the NordicTrack MTN 740 will not need batteries, and instead the console is powered by your moving the steps. Check your manual if you are unsure of which batteries to buy. Different machines will require different batteries. The NordicTrack Mini Stepper uses watch batteries, but larger machines will likely need AA or D batteries.
     
   • 2 Take off the cover to the battery compartment. Remove and discard the old batteries. Replace all of the batteries, not just one if you happen to have one good one. Align them correctly with the "+" and "-" signs as shown on the compartment.
     
   • 3 Replace the battery cover and attempt to turn on the console.
     
   Reset the Circuit Breaker
   • 1 Check the circuit breaker. A machine such as the NordicTrack CXT 990 will have a circuit breaker located on the front of the machine. The console will not work if the circuit breaker is tripped.
     
   • 2 Push the circuit breaker in if it protrudes until it sticks.
     
   • 3 Try to turn on the console. Check the circuit breaker for your house if this does not fix the console problem.
     
   Adjust the Reed Switch
   • 1 Inspect the reed switch as the information on the display will not be true if the reed switch is too far from the flywheel on NordicTrack machines such as the MTN 740.
     
   • 2 Unscrew the two M10 by 82mm button bolts on the right pedal bracket. Unscrew the two M10 nylon locknuts. Pull off the pedal bracket and set aside.
     
   • 3 Remove the two M4 by 38mm screws. Remove the three M4 by 25mm screws. Slide the right side shield off to expose the flywheel, magnet reed switch.
     
   • 4 Unscrew the screw that holds the reed switch in place but do not remove it. Slide the reed switch toward the flywheel but leave enough space that the magnet can move freely. Replace the shield and bracket

The NordicTrack is a treadmill designed for in-home use. It offers a speed range of 0 to 10 mph and an incline range of 0 to 10 percent. It folds up vertically to save space when you aren't working out and can be rolled to a different room. The console has 16 preset workout programs and features iFit interactive technology. If you have problems with the console or walking belt, you can often fix them yourself with some basic troubleshooting steps
Instructions

1. Power Turns Off When You're Using the Treadmill
   • 1 Check the reset switch on the bottom of the treadmill near the power cord. If it has tripped, the top of the switch will protrude. Wait 5 minutes then press the switch.
     
   • 2 Check that the power cord is plugged in completely. If it is plugged in, unplug it, wait 5 minutes then plug it back in.
     
   • 3 Remove the magnetic key from the console then reinsert it.
     
   The Console Won't Turn Off
   • 1 Insert the magnetic key into the console. Your C2500 is stuck in demo mode if the console won't turn off after you remove the magnetic key from the console.
     
   • 2 Hold the "Stop" button down for a few seconds.
     
   • 3 Press the "Speed" down (-) button. Remove the magnetic key.
     
   The Incline Does Not Change Correctly
   • 1 Press and hold the "Stop" and the "Speed" up (+) button. While holding the buttons, insert the key into the console, then release the buttons.
     
   • 2 Press either the "Incline" up or down arrow button. Wait while the incline raises and lowers. This recalibrates the incline system.
     
   • 3 Remove the key from the console.
     
   Walking Belt Slows
   • 1 Unplug your C2500 and remove the key from the console.
     
   • 2 Turn both rear adjustment bolts, located on the back of the walking deck, to the left, a 1/4 turn.
     
   • 3 Lift the edge of the walking belt in the middle of the deck. You should be able to lift it 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform. If the belt is still too tight, loosen the bolts another 1/4 turn each.
     
   • 4 Plug the treadmill in and reinsert the console key. Walk on the belt at a slow speed to see if it still slows. Repeat Step 2 if necessary.
     

Okay, to program a key you will need two keys that are already programmed, insert one key ignition turned on and engine off, remove the key and within 10 sec insert the second key and turn ignition on with engine off, remove that key and within 10 sec insert the key to be programed. you will need to do a 30 min.relearn with only one key,you will turn ignition on with engine off and wait about 10 min until light goes out then remove the key and repeat this step when light goes out repeat step one more time then use key to start car, computer has learned all info. you will now turn off engine, insert programmed key turn key on engine off then remove the key and insert key to be programed within 10 sec.all done good day.
