Sounds like the inhibit function of the chair has been damaged. This function will not let you move the chair while charging. If Dad doesn't have the charger off when plugging in to the chair or removing it it can short out the charger port causing your problem. Unfortunately the only fix is to replace the joystick/controller. If Medicare paid for Dad's chair then they will pay for most of the repair costs. Contact the provider that brought Dad's chair and ask if they can order a new joystick for you Hope this helps
the batteries are not charged and need to be replaced. The reason you have lights is because the charger is supplying power to the chair and the chair will not move when the charger is plugged in because of the inhibit function. Replace the batteries and make sure you charge before use Hope this helps
The chair should have a meter on the rear panel where the 9 pin connector for the joystick plugs into the chair when you plug in the charger cord the meter should move up and the lights on the joystick should flash indicating the charger is plugged in. When the chair is fully charged the meter should read zero or bounce up and down. Hope this helps
The chair will not move if the charger is plugged in. The flashes are normal with the charger plugged into the chair. The lights on the charger mean that the batteries have been fully charged. Red and yellow lights mean charging. After you unplug the charger from the chair (if off-baord charger, turn charger off or unplug from the wall) then unplug from joystick. after plug is removed from joystick press the on button and all the battery lights should be lit and when you move the joystick forward you will hear the electric bake release and the chair should move forward etc Hope this helps
Sounds like you need new batteries. Assuming that the chair is programmed for a faster speed and has gone faster in the past the most likely culprit is old or discharged batteries. The charger or plug may be at fault also. Also check that the charger is plugged in and the indicator lights of the charger are on.
