This happened to me as well. As wierd as this sounds, Rub/Massage all of your console keys well because believe it or not, they get stuck. While unplugged and without the magnetic key "inserted". Plug the machine back in and "insert" the key. Allow the machine to do the full incline and decline sequence if it decides to do so. Once this happens the machine should allow you to work the console buttons without any issues. At least this is how I was able to fix mine while on the phone with the Gold's Gym technical support. Hope it helps.
This was very helpful. I was freaking out because I moved my treadmill this weekend and when I plugged it back in and inserted the key, it just started making noise. I thought it was broken. I had no idea that it would attempt a full incline/decline sequence. Once I realized that's what it was doing, I let it finish and it was good to go! Scared the hell out of me! Thanks!This was very helpful. I was freaking out because I moved my treadmill this weekend and when I plugged it back in and inserted the key, it just started making noise. I thought it was broken.
