That is cold. I don't know how much an electrician would charge but these chairs are not state of the art. I have a brother in law that I beg and he likes to show off at how he can fix anything within reason. I would imagine you could send the bill to Medicare. The trick is being able to afford the guys bill. My DME would repair anything I have as long as I buy a chair from them on a regular basis. They do charge me to fix stuff I bought from Ebay. Ok, why did you buy a chair from a private party? You understand, I need to know why no insurance paid for yours.

I'm feeling very urinated on and frustrated right now. There are 3 Invacare dealers within 20 miles of me. None of them will even look at the chair. Why? Because I didn't buy it there. I bought it from an individual. You would think a certified dealer would provide service to its company products, like Ford or Chevy, but not so. Their basic answer was - tough luck bud, but we'd love to sell you a new one. Greedy jerks. I have no idea how to get it fixed. ________________________________ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:18:53 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] bad chair To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are you sure that the levers are in the up position for driving versus pushing? ________________________________ From:William Willis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 2:08 PM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] bad chair guys, my invacare power chair has died on me. The control box and batteries are ok because I tested them. Every one of the lights on the control box are on. The 'gas gauge' is lit from one side to the other and all the power level lights are on at once. The chair does nothing.
