Nothing to be sorry about I am not really educated in board repair beyond watching Lois Rossman! Im just a curious idiot with a volt meter. I do appreciate you humoring my efforts.

The photo I attached was merely to show that some tachometer LEDs do work albeit are very dim - the panel stays that way with no changes - had it on for 30+min to see maybe it will do something. When shop lights are on, you cant tell there is any power - it certainly does not light up like in your photo... maybe 1/16th of that. No life from green LEDs at all - I did have all ribbon cables hooked up tight....

Thank you for the reply! I have made a short video on what the screen does as part of reddit thread - you can see it in the dark due to what I assume the backlight not working but getting some residual light for tach LEDs - it eventually "boots" to all segments of that LCD being "on". You do see screen flash for half a second when plugged in with the lights on... No amount of fiddling makes it change its behavior.



I also hypothesize that if you have to press down on components then it can be bad solder - id be interested if it would work after baking...

Wanted to check and see if there was any luck in troubleshooting this brick as I am also stuck if a dud unit - and bowflex wont give out any schematics due to safety and warranty.... typical corporate response. I made a reddit( [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Bowflex/comments/1h6ukbh/bowflex_m7_max_board_issue_help/[/url] ) post which has led me here.https://Wanted to check and see if t...ue_help/[/url]
