Hi, I have completed a factory reset on our Proform 5000, but it's not bringing up the main menu so we can use the manual modes.

I would try and do the reset another couple of times, if it still doesn’t work it sounds like it might need a new console

Hi, do you know how to factory reset a Nordictrack T22.5. The IFIT app has disappeared and the treadmill is bricked.

[@FitnessEquipmentHowTo]

Can’t remember if there is a reset button on that one, but you need to look for a tiny hole in the plastic casing around the screen somewhere, that will be the reset switch

My pinhole was on the left side of the screen, but it did the trick! Thank you!

We cannot find a reset hole anywhere... It must be an auto reset. Still dead..

Mu pinhole literally has nothing in it lol

Are you sure you have the right pinhole?
