I just bought and assembled a Nordictrack Elite zi treadmill. I plugged it in and the lights come on, and the machine cylces through a "demo" mode. I've read all the documentation on how to exit the demo mode. The instructions don't work. Additionally, the documents say that a "d" should appear in the speed/calorie display, but there is no "d". So, I'm not sure I'm in a demo mode. The machine lights up and the display cycles, but none of the control buttons work-- not even the fan.
SOURCE: Nordictrack motor will not run when start button is pushed.
Likely the cover of one of the motor brushes popped off. Unplug the machine before you pop it back in place, then try it again.
If that doesn't work, most likely it's the motor control board, or possibly the console, or finally just a loose connection behind the console.
But most likely, it's the motor brush cover. I've been seeing that alot with this model.

This is more than likely a loose drive belt, which would explain the slipping as well as the sound. To tighten this take off the plastic cover that covers the motor. You will see where the motor connects to the front roller with the drive belt. To tighten it there are two bolts that hold the motor to the machine, loosen those then pull it tight and retighten them, This should eliminate the problem.

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.

I'm curious, have you tried the magnetic key? I don't mean to insult you, it's just a common mistake. If you are, I would make sure you re-attach the console.
