- If your powerchair controller starts beeping, it's a sign that there is something wrong with your chair. BUT, before you you call a repair service, try this. It may work and you'd be saving hundreds of dollars. This video is specific to the PG Drive VR2 Joystick BUT a similar technique would work for other joysticks as well.
TORX screwdriver: NO NOT BUY ONE with a wide body. You’ll need a torx that is slim like this:

TIP #2 for the joystick: • QUICK FIX! Powerchair ...
A potentially simple fix for a simple problem. Bit to fiddley for me to attempt, but a huge thank you!
In my iCarbon Style, the controller has a deep recess which I plugged with BlueTack, cut the noise right down to an acceptable level.
👍
never do a straight away on high gear so I dont get the noise unless my joysticks touched reverse then it annotingly peeps while in joystick position
kinda like tose old rotary phones gotta have alignment of those special [laces so it snaps right kinda pea bran watching.
Hello, I can no longer operate my powerweelchair and I get this message ( system is now in IDLE MODE power cycle of system is needed to return to normal operation )
I don’t know which make and model you have, so I can not give you the detailed procedure. But what you must do is: (1) turn powerchair off (2) disconnect one of the two batteries (3) leave the battery disconnected for 5 minutes (4) reconnect the battery. This should power cycle the chair. TIP: While the battery is disconnected, you may want to consider cleaning the battery terminal. Confused? Ask me!
@@VelikoBekir Thank you for the response, well I will try what you told me, by the way I have QUANTUM Q-LOGIC 1 EX SERIES JOYSTICK CTLDC1467 4 KEY POWER WHEELCHAIR
@@VelikoBekir Once a time, I had the same problem. I just removed the controller, reinstalled it, and it worked, but now it doesn't work.
@@user-ow2ue6rm2v Please let me know if disconnecting the battery worked for you
@@VelikoBekir It worked, but the joystick control replaces the menu on its own, as if it has become crazy. I don't know what to do
I have a question. For a while I have a problem with my joystick, so I don't know is it electric or mechanical problem. The thing is: when is push my joystick in any direction, on my left motor it seems the brake just don't release 100%, it stuck on the half way. Right motor works well. So I don't know is there some problem with joystick, wires, mechanical stuff? Or just there is a dirt under the joystick cover or connectors maybe? And yeah, joystick get warm a little bit sometimes in that condition, not too much.
It’s not an easily answerable question, not much different from asking an auto mechanic what’s the problem with the car without having him inspect the car. Having said that, how handy are you? The first thing I’d try is cleaning the contacts on the printed circuit board of the joystick, as detailed in the video. If the contacts are really dirty, the button contact pads may be causing an ever-so-slight connection to an adjoining button; hence a bit of warming due to the “short circuit”. Let me know how it goes. BTW: Dirty" in this article means that the rubber pad becomes sticky an has a melted appearance.
My issue is my joystick is waaay to sensitive. I have crashed into walls, door frames and have damaged so of my items. Any ideas would be great.
But what was the symptom? Just beeping?
Great question! You’re the first to ask this! So, the beeping could be MANY things and if anyone is worried or wants to know exactly why it’s beeping, obviously have a qualified person look at it….. but good luck on getting someone to your house, or finding a place to take the chair to, aaaannnnnd, the cost of just having someone look at it. Here’s an analogy I use: As you may already figure out that whenever a “warning” light or beep comes on the dash of your car, 90% of the time it’s not a real problem but rather the sensor that’s supposed to “report” the problem, went bad. The other 10% may actually be reporting a problem. In my case, for this video, the keypad was dirty. And last month (September 2022, a year after this video), it started beeping again BUT ONLY under these circumstances: moving from different ambient temperatures, it not only beeps, but goes into the s-l-o-w mode. Once the chair acclimates to the current temp, it stops beeping, stops, flashing, and everything is back to normal. Must be some temperature sensor built into the board - just like a car. If anyone can she more info on this, please post it.
my joystick is fried. water damage. any idea where I can get one?
Personal message me a picture of the joystick, or post the model of it here. The model should be on a sticker on the bottom.
3 minutes about the video before the video 🤦🏼♀️ stop it
It's ironic that while you feel 3 minutes were wasted, you took more time to tell me to 'stop it' than the time you believe was wasted. 🤣🤣
Just skip to the part you need 🤷♂️
Very interesting. I will try this. T10 type 🪛 thank you for the tips
