In every maintenance manual, HP specified the exact part number of the PINK PEARL ©®™ eraser to clean the gold plated finger contacts. In the 70's Hewlett Packard made all their circuit boards dip gold-plated 20~30u" thick (not flash e-plated 1~2u") and the card edge fingers needed servicing from time to time from regular use. In Fact ALL metal contacts must be Au gold plated for any contact rating <=2A, which is true for mechanical switches and relays. The contacts on the PCB must be gold (Au) plated and not any other method (Sn-Pb-Ni-Ag-Cu etc). These Carbon membrane contact switches are notorious for excess force degradation and surface oxidation with dust and smoke acting as insulation.Ĭotton Q tips with pure alcohol usually resolve cleaning the carbon surface. I misunderstood the problem to be the joystick rather than the ON/ON tactile button. If they refuse to assist, then make a You Tube video exposing the quality defects of the part and send it for refurbishment to a 3rd party.

The serial number of the chair did not give them the correct part number, so never trust that. Pride (manufacturer) will not let you ask questions unless you have an account with them, so you have to trust the staff at a distributer, who in my case were wrong, and would have charged me for the copay of a $1750 controller, which was the wrong part number. If you need to buy a new controller, purchase a used one with the following name, not the part number shown in the question, as suggested by my durable medical provider.

MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG THE WIRES IN THE BACK OF THE WHEELCHAIR BEFORE REPLACING. To solve the issue, I ended up buying a new controller keypad on Ebay for $33.90. It actually requires a T10 torx (normal) screwdriver before removing the shell of the controller. In the video, he mentions you need a T10 security torx screwdriver. This did not solve the issue, but it helped me understand what to look for. After a lot of investigation and internet searching, I came across this YouTube video, which was very helpful in understanding what was inside.
