Has anyone encountered an a short in the display panel, causing it not to relay information about the mileage and calories burned, etc?

Well, it does seem to use a lot of battery power. Requires 4 AA, I believe. If you exercise regularly, the batteries have to be replaced every few weeks. The milaege/calories display does not "glow" and it is difficult to read the display, regardless. Less than adequate, I would judge.

Sounds like you got a unit with a short in it! I've had zero problems with mine in almost 11 months. Very happy with my X-mas gift!

I have had the bike for about five years and put thousands of miles on it. I have had no problem with the display going off when peddling. The problems I had were getting the heart monitor hooked up correctly. The instructions were wrong and the fan is useless. I resolved this problem by getting a portable fan. This was an amazingly good deal. I have not seen it listed for sale for many years. This does not mean I am unsympathetic to Tanya's complaint, but I do not know how to fix it. Jeff

I am not sure. I sent mine back and they fixed to right away and sent it back to me.. It was the tiny reset button that got pushed and locked the display out.

There's nothing on the display when not in use. HOWEVER it does blink when turned on and measuring. Not that this is the black LCD readout panel. No blinky lights.

It has always displayed dashes across the screen. I think if the carbon monoxided or natural gas levels rise it will display that.

i doubt anything about this machine is correct. It started making a knocking noise about a month in and i didn't have the cycles to get after it. That was about a year ago of course..Going hard for 15 minutes shows 1 mile and about 87 calories for what thats worth. Sure seems like more than a mile. Im guessing some internal sensor broke off and that may be part of it. It quit making that awful knocking sound which is part of why i never got after fixing it, but like i said, i doubt anything is accurate. Amazon put a hold on actually selling these things for a while. Too bad because it seemed like a good unit (in theory).. i doubt anything about this machine is correct.

yes. The screen goes blank to save energy I believe. Simply tap the On switch to check the status of the charge.

It's not a defect, it's to save energy. You can go to Settings--&#12299;Screen and find where adjust the of inactivitie, starts with 15 seconds. Regards!

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

The display on my remote tells me the time even when it is turned off. It displays additional status info when it is turned on. It sounds like your display is faulty if nothing shows up. I suggest you call the service phone number listed below the warranty at the back of the Instruction Manual. Staff was helpful the one time I called them.

I have not encountered that problem. It alerts me a little more than 1/2 mile before turn then keeps me posted every so often until the turn. Wish I could give u more insight.

Had the Schwinn Active 20 for about a year and now the display flashes and the number 78 flashes under the speed section. Replaced the batteries but NG -- On with Nautilaus Customer support now.Okay -- they tell me it's the computer so I need to spend $70 to replace it. Will let you know if it does the trick.

Yes, at the 18mm setting It may report an error. It happened to me only once, I didn't find out if it was a camera or lease issue.

I haven't had that problem. The display is customizable so that you can make the numbers large if you need it. The screen isn't bright, but I haven't had a problem while running.

I agree that there's no COMP display. Looks like it's an error in the Casio manual. For normal calculations, just make sure that you have DEG displayed, and you should be good to go.

I assume you checked the battery, all you do is point and you see the display and your yardage appears... If it doesn't, it might be damaged
