If the Drive Medical Geo device won't turn on despite fully charged batteries but shows battery lights when the charger is connected, possible issues include:
1. Loose or bad battery connection – Check all battery connections to ensure they are secure. 2. Circuit breaker tripped – Reset the circuit breaker by pressing the button and wait a few minutes. 3. Joystick not centered – Make sure the joystick is in the center position before turning on the control system. 4. External signal preventing operation – If the charger is still connected, it may prevent the chair from operating. Disconnect the charger. 5. Control system or joystick fault – Check all connections and ensure no fault codes (blinking lights) are present. If faults persist, contact a service agent.
Check for any blink codes on the joystick to help identify specific faults.
