My wife saw an expensive treadmill on Facebook for free, broken of course, and asked me if I thought I'd be able to fix it?
Challenge accepted!
Let's set it up, try and diagnose the problem and see if we can get it working again!

You always come up with some novel ways to fix these little projects and save them from the trash heap. You improved the product so much with those tactile buttons instead of those cursed membrane switches. Bravo!

  • That's a great fix 👍. Being in the trade, the most common failure of membrane keypads is the cross over tracks. I've done a few repairs similar with the difference being I collect boards from dead washing machines and the like which now days have surface mount TAC switches. These are a nice small size that can be fitted as a replacement for membrane contacts. And with a bit of pocket making to accept them, allows the original top keypad cover to be reused. My current microwave oven is a case in point. Great stuff!

  • Nice fix! Also, I can't believe Polar would make a disposable HRM. I've owned several HRM through the years but all could have their batteries changed easily. Really weird. The HRM and many other fitness devices use ANT+ protocol to exchange data, btw. The newest ones also use Bluetooth Low Energy.

  • Good fix. I have several commercial quality pieces that I got from military surplus, some I still need to fix. I was surprised at the replacement cost of the membrane, because LifeFitness usually have reasonable replacement parts costs here in the US. I'll use your membrane fix in case I have a similar issue. I find working on fitness machines a lot of fun, since it's usually a mix of mechanical and electrical/electronic, and most issues I find are usually quite simple to fix. Now, to get fixing the treadmill and elliptical that's been waiting in my garage for a while....

  • I got a deal on a top of the line treadmill 2 years ago. Her 24 hour gym said they just wanted it gone one day while she was working out on the machine a few down she jumped off and told the guy her husband could be there in 15 mins to take it away he said okay after making a call. Turns out someone spilled water on it and all I had to do was replace the membrane under the same type of pad as yours. Hers has al9t of buttons on it though and even if I could get the buttons like yours for $1 each it would have cost twice as much as just replacing the membrane. I found a new one on eBay for $13 plus $5 for shipping. Ended up keeping it for 15 months she loved it but when we moved we sold it and got $1300 for it. The guy said his wife had one just like it and hers stopped working a few days ago and she wanted the same one since she loved it and knew how to work it, my wife looked at me and I just told her no.

  • great repairs, spare parts in general always seem to be far too expensive imo

    @sundaybighouse@sundaybighouse10 ай бұрын

    • Thanks Sunday Bighouse👍Yes totally agree. Unfortunately sometimes a part is nearly as much as a new unit.

  • Membrane panels are not made to last by design. Push buttons cost more and its always profit over longevity

    • I didn't have any, and it seemed a pain to try and separate the two membranes to try and repair the failed track. I think the solution I came up with will last a lot longer and if a switch fails you can just replace the faulty one instead of having to replace the whole membrane.

  • Those treadmill motors and adjoining electronic motor drivers are very good candidates for metal lathes when you want speed control. Quite a few treadmills can be had for free when they’re put out on the curb to be trashed, I have collected three of these this way. I’ve modified two of my lathes and a mill using these in my home machine shop.. all for free, to boot.

  • Good fix, I was expecting much more nasty, human sweat under that membrane though. Almost scared to look..... But, wasn't too bad. How sweat proof are those buttons you put on? The hard core runners get everything dripping in salty, sweat..... yuck...

    • It depends on what you class as expensive, and what you want to use it for. I recently did a review video on an Adonstar microscope and compared it against my trinocular setup, and also do you want to record? Display an image on a screen? Need it compact or portable?
