I'm having the same issue now after about 11 months of having the bike. Any help would be great!

If you haven't started a program then this is normal. If you've started a program or hit "quick start" then something is wrong and you should contact Schwinn.

Rebeca unfortunately you need to replace the display . The flex cable is part of it.

I haven't had to deal with that issue. My bike has been doing great! I would send a request to Schwinn for the information.

I would call the customer care center at nautilus. The number for Customer Care is 800-605-3369 or email them at customerservice@schwinnfitness.com. I called them and they fixed two problem that I had with the bike. One was with the fly wheel, and they sent a service man out, the other was a problem with the brake that needed silicone. They fixed both problems well with no charge.

Thanks John. Sadly, I have just tried with no success. Just in case we are talking about different scales, I just bought the HBF-400. Even though the LCD display does have kg & cm indicators (unlit), I cant seem to find a way to make them work (i.e. change to metric). I have been playing with the buttons in order to find a way through. I am sure there has to be a way to access a factory settings mode... I hope there is one.

The screen never completely goes blank. It doesn't "shut off", but when it's not connected to the bike it will stop registering information such as speed and time traveled. When not in use it turns almost to a "passive" mode.

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi, Madeline. Hope it's not too late to help. I got the Active 20 and the seat adjustment is the same as a higher-end Schwinn that my friend has. They both adjust forward and backward only, but the seats slide at a downward, somewhat shallow angle. So there's no true 'vertical' adjustment--but a slight vertical change when you slide it backwards and forwards. It may provide little consolation, but the nature of recumbent bicycles means that your height in relation to the ground becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the most important rule to follow is the distance between your hips and the pedals. As long as you're not hyper-extending your knees (legs entirely outstretched when your foot is on the pedal farthest away from you), bicycle manufacturers think that the location of the pedals isn't important, as long as they're not above your heart. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. One more thing, it's also bad to have your legs so cramped that your pedaling brings your knees close to your chest.

Sorry to hear that. However, I'm not the seller. I bought the same bike and its in great condition. No problems with the pedals.

haven't had that problem yet. i'm sure i will though. this thing has been a nightmare from the day i received it in that mangled box they delivered it in. definitely learned my lesson. don't be a cheap bastard when buying equipment that is normally expensive. a good reliable elliptical should cost around 3k or more. this thing is a joke. sorry i don't have a better answer regarding the display.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

did not experience this problem with this bike. Good bike, well worth the price. It is worth taking to a bike shop and have them put everything in good working order. Shop tuned up brakes, gears and tightened wheel spokes.

Make sure the LCD screen does not have any moisture, gently twist the screen to its max clockwise and counter clockwise to insure contact. If there is still no display on the screen there may be some internal damage, have it serviced by your a authorized repair center

I personally haven't had this issue, but I've read reports of screen issues like that. You might need to send it in for replacement. I hear customer service is easy to work with.
