Good morning I'm Italian I have a problem with this stairlift, it has completely shut down and I managed to bring it manually to the charging point only that now does not go down anymore, probably it should be programmed know the procedure?
The electronic board has no switch is the T565 model. This is link of the pcb board:

Hi - here is a list of codes which may help. There will be a programming guide somewhere ...

The symbol for accuracy is J3, I heard the assistance and they told me that it should be reprogrammed even if according to him he had to go down slowly towards the charging point at the bottom.
The technician only for the call wants 200 € !!!! These are crazy!

I strongly advise against trying to reset the PCB.
The Acorn 180 has positional programs and remembers where it is on the track.
This is because it needs to know when to engage the chair levelling motor.
I had a simialr problem with my father's chair. It went flat off a charge point. I had to manually wind it to the charge point.
Once it was charged it tilted at the wrong points on the track. It "remembered" where it was, and manually moving it upset it's programmed sequence.
I had to turn off the chair and manually wind it back to where it originally went flat and re-level it.
Remember, you have to turn it off at the charge point and wind from there.
Once you do that the chair will engage the levelling motor at the correct points on the track.
You may need to fine tune it by driving the chair to a point where the levelling motor starts.
Stop it at that point, and turn it off. Then use the manual winder on the track motor (not the levelling motor).
Wind the chair to the point on the track where the amount of levelling motor is correct for the track position. i.e the seat is horizontal.
Once you have done this the chair should do all the correct levelling actions at the correct positions on the track.
My concern is that if you succeed in resetting the PCB you will lose all the levelling programming and make this a much bigger task.
Hope this helps.
