VSI wheelchair code 8 repair

- A detailed explanation of how to repair a VSI standalone control box when your 24v wheelchair displays code 8 or 7. You will need some star key and hex head tools, a soldering iron and $8 worth of capacitors... Which is much cheaper than the $250 to $1000 cost of a replacement VSI brain box.
(My apologies about flipping the phone - this was shot over several days due to the time it takes to ship parts in and I forgot to film in landscape : / )
Please support politicians who prioritize the Right to Repair : )

Thanks Mike ,you saved my bacon! I did your futzing technique, power on /off moving stick in a different direction each time. After 6,7 times my 7 code reset and I was back in action ! Thank You !
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. I have a jazzy select chair I got second hand. I am having the same problem. Even though they are different chairs alot of your video still rings true.. The only main difference is the capacitors are in the control box instead of being in the joystick. I just ordered my capacitors. :)
You, sir, are a life saver 👍
I did this exact repair. I used a sewing needle to open up the holes for the capacitor. But come to find that the actual culprit was the white wire under the rubber grommet had melted where it touched the other wires causing the short and code 8 error. A little electical tape and it was fixed. Problem solved. Thanks for getting me there at the least part of the way.
Thanks for your video and ideas, I'm stuck at 7 flashes code stage. I don't have capacitor in my joystick control board. Do have any suggestions to bypass the 7 flashes. I tried disconnecting joystick cable from the board and reconnect it again, nothing change.
Thank you so much.
I willl try and let you know, i have a VR2 S-drive controller, with same issue, 8 lights of death. thank you.
i try the remote in other chair and it works, but when i plug it back in to original, 8 lights
thanks so much, medicare denied my son a wheelchair, he has bad epilepsy and falls alot. I bought a shoprider at a yard sale and am trying to fix it for him., I will verify that I have the code 8 and go from there.
Great work...thank you...
Thank you
for us rookie solderers im thinking I might clip the old capacitor leads as close as I can to the bottom of the capacitor then solder the new capacitor to the stem thats left ?
Do you have an idea of what could have caused the capacitors to blow up?
Stuck with the error 8
after u soldered in the new capacitors, did you get a rapid 7 code AND beeping.
Did you fix 7 flash code? Please let me know if you found away as it didn't work for me, still 7 flashes.
