my machine or console?

Important:
This issue is always caused by a communication issue between the console and MCB.
Most times, this is caused by a damaged cable/connector or an improperly installed cable.
We must check every input/output cable and their cable connections to accurately diagnose which cable is
causing the communication interruption.
1.
Inspect the input/output cables and connector pins. Refer to the "Replace the Middle I/O Cable" section of the
manual for instructions on accessing input/output cables at the console and upright. Unplug each connection
(reference 1) and inspect for damage, such as cuts, crimps, or bent pins (reference 2).
If the cable coming from the console is damaged,
If the cable coming from the upright is damaged,
If the cable coming from the base of your treadmill is damaged,
If no damage is present but the issue persists,
