Lights up but when pressing Quick Start it automatically shows the lady liberty,etc for a moment then goes back to the Bowflex logo and nothing else. Help!
We have tried shutting off, resetting it and it continues to do the same thing

I was having the same issue to a T. I called Bowflex tech support, they told me that without a doubt the main pc board that is under the treads needed to be replaced for $515. I then trouble shot myself and got it up and running in minutes for $0. Take of the plastic top from the pc board area, unplug the little clipped in 2 wire plug labelled Fan. It litterally says fan on the board and you can see 2 wires going right to the fan. Once that is disconnected try to Quick Start. It should work. You can either replace the little fan for $6 @ radio shack or run a fan your self simply by facing your own in the same area. Most people are running a fan for themselves anyway, just aim for both. Good luck.
You are Alfred Einstein! It worked!!! I purchased TC5500 from an auction. Got it home, powered on but didn't work. As soon as I pressed Start, it would countdown to begin and then shut off and make a click sound, like a breaker on the motherboard cutting power. I Found note on manual that said "Motherboard, Speed sensor" and thought
uh-oh... Googled everywhere for hours, obsessed and hoping previous owner was wrong, it paid off, found your post and thought hmm, almost too simple, but why not try it? So I unplugged the fan. Cannot believe it was that easy!? and the last thing I would have expected to make the machine doa. You are awesome, You saved me so much time and $$$ Thank you! (Will run my own fan now to avoid plugging back into mother board)
