I was running on it yesterday when I pressed the button to increase the speed and when I did I got a shock on my finger (i was on carpeting before running). The treadmill instantly stopped working. I can get it to turn on but it will not start working. I have tried to reset it numerous times and the speed buttons do not work now. All the lights come on but the speed buttons won't do a thing.
If it was a static shock it's possible to kill the electronics. You need to call the manufacture.
Do you normally have static issues in your house.
A worn belt and deck can also cause static charge build up.
