Yes, it definitely sounds like a bad joystick control or a bad joystick wiring harness to the controller. Using a hand held programmer you can read the fault log to verify the number of fault codes attributed to the joystick and joystick out of neutral at start-up. Most dealers and certified technicians have the proper HHP to read the fault log and make this determination.
With the power wheelchair off you can feel a bad joystick gimbal by rotating it in circles and forward and back, feeling for rough and dead spots. If it does not come back to neutral when you release it i.e. it is off center, you have a bad gimbal. Because it sounds like a safety issue, I would recommend having this repair done before using the chair again. Hope this helps.

How can I fix my ikea poang that once I sit on the chair it goes very low ?

Try this. Remove the seat pad and check the seat board and backboard are not broken or out of position. Next check all of the cross bars are not broken or loose. Examine each section of the chair for cracks or splits. Finally check all the bolts holding the whole chair together are positioned correctly and are tight. You could try getting someone to get into the chair while your lying on the floor watching the chair sections for any obvious reasons. These checks should solve the problem. If not you might have to consider replacing it.

How can i open this machine

Hello too much money,

Not much of a picture...


If your time and energy rested with your success...
I bet we could get a better picture...

It does show you are sitting...
It shows (even for YOUR too much money) a plastic chair..
and not much thought.

How about getting wild and telling an interested party your
MAKE & MODEL.

Looks to be a reflection of a
"white FRONT LOADER" under your chair... Sad.


Oops...

Out of time!

Have a nice day.
Recommend you hire ($$$$) yourself an INTERESTED fixer!

How do you collapse a Cosco Flat Fold High Chair Model: HC188AKT

Standing in front of the High chair, on either side of the back of the chair are two plastic pieces, that look like they serve no purpose. They are curved at the bottom, to hold your finger. Place your fingers on the bottom of these two pieces and pull up.
Magically, the chair will fold towards you. You can also easily remove the foot rest to get a flatter fold, so that the chair fits into a smaller space.

Battery fully charged chair levers engaged to drive position chair still will not move.. Jazzy 600.... Tried unlock/lock tried putting it in neutral back in drive with levers still wont move please...

Has your scooter been sitting idle for several weeks, or has it been connected to the charger 24 hours a days for a long time? If so, the batteries may have become damaged and will give you enough power to turn the controller on but not enough to make the motors run.
If the lights come on and are steady, the manual brake levers are in the drive position and the chair still will not move, I recommend replacing the batteries. If anything else were wrong, either the lights would flash or not come on at all.
I hope this information is helpful to you, good luck!

The chair suddenly lost power and now the lights flash continuously. The chair won't take a charge. A repairman tried fixing it at a local shop and said he put a new battery in and it sizzled. Now he is...

If he put in the batteries (2) properly, they should never sizzle. Some will emit a very minute spark when the final connection is made, but that is normal. There are fuses coming off of each battery to the power controller that will blow at 40 to 100 amps or so, depending on the chair; these will blow before the chair frying, or the circuit breaker will trip, or the controller will fry and all will be quiet on the chair, so I am going to say that the batteries weren't properly hooked up, otherwise on of the above items would have shut everything down. Continuous flashes indicate trying to start the chair while it is still on the charger, or with the joystick off-center. Make sure it is unplugged and notohing is resting against the joystick. If it's still a no-go, then you have either a joystick issue or controller issue. You will need to test those by replacing with known good controller/joystick, which a dealer should be able to do for you. Good luck.

The power indication display is flashing with all colors visible.

The flashing will come on if the chair is in neutral or if the charger is still plugged in when you turn it on. Place the chair in neutral (freewheel) by shifting the levers out, then place firmly back into drive.

Unplug from the charger and it should fire up. Sometimes, the chair will also go into "sleep mode".
Check your owners manual for this. Note, some have sleep mode potential but it's not in the manual, and if someone inadvertantly hits the right series of motions with the joystick, you can inadvertantly put it to sleep. Try turning the chair off, wait three seconds and power back up, then immediately press the "horn" button. This wakes up most of them. Others you need to power off, turn back on and then move the joystick forward, backward then forward again.

Good luck

Chair fully charged lrd lights flashing and chair wont move

Try using a Voltage meter to test the Voltage coming from your batteries. Your batteries should be as close to 12v. your motors are 24v. Even if just one battery is bad this can cause alot of headaches.
