Lifespan Boost-R Screen Replacement Process

Just wanted to let everyone know my experience with the Lifespan Boost-R treadmill. We've had the device for just over 6 months, it's been great, though keep in mind you will need to help the sole delivery driver get the 80kg treadmill from his van and into your house.

I noticed a line beginning to show down the screen

Contacted their support sending through the image and 2 days later they had sent a new display. Now at this point, I thought they'd be sending me the top part of the treadmill, the bit with the screen, and the armrests etc. All I'd have to do it undo 4 allen bolts and 1 plug and swap over the unit.

What actually came was just the plastic section with screen, attached to a bare PCB that goes behind the incline up/down, start/stop and speed up/down buttons at the bottom. I also found this replacement didn't have the 2 cables to hook the heart rate sensors up.

So, in the end, I had to take 49 phillips head screws out, and back in to swap over the units.

It is no more complex than putting together a PC, just a lot more fiddly. You'll probably also want a larger phillips head screwdriver for most, though there are 8 little phillips head screws holding the PCB on.

In the end, the treadmill is back to working and I have a reply paid address to return the old unit to. Just be aware that with the cheaper price, comes some effort on your part.
