stannah 240 wont work?

it hasn't been used for a long time, but i need it to work now, friend has given me the batteries from her mums lift (was working in her machine until recently)
new batteries put in, chair wound to bottom, fuse light on, everything else turned on but nothing, it the chair is moved manually away from the bottom it bleeps and red light flashes but that's it, nothing will move or light up. any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I also have a Stannah Model 240 stairlift.
My question added recently was has anyone replaced the 2 x 12v batteries themselves, as I'm after a step by step method on how to pull the chair apart and replace the batteries.
In relation to your chair symptoms, it sounds very much like what we observed when our batteries died 6 years ago and it has happened again now.
The expensive Stannah guy originally put 2 new batteries in and away it went until now. Also check that none of the safety switched are obstructed (triggered) as that will prevent the chair from activating.
