Concept2 Forum

Just ran into an issue with my PM5 after a workout - I had it connected to ErgData and it was running the previous firmware version (165). Right after the workout it gave me a "Hard Fault Error" with a huge string of numbers/text. I searched online and couldn't match any of the hard fault error codes on Concept 2's website with what I was seeing. The error reappears anytime I try to access the memory feature in the monitor.

I upgraded to the latest firmware (166) and ran the repair feature on the memory, then tried to access the memory again and the error came up again. Any ideas? I tried attaching a picture of the monitor but it's not letting me. This is what I see...

"Hard Fault Err - 10001608

On Monday, pick up the phone and call Concept2. Your PM5 should be under warranty.

I would do a full factory default reset on it.

If that doesn't work it sounds like the flash memory has failed.

Hello,

Did you have a solution to your issue with PM5?
I am currently facing the exact same issue...

I would like to know if the reset is solving the issue... or if there is anoher way to fix it.

Thank in advance for your answer.

Update to the latest firmware.

Have you then tried the full factory reset to the defaults ?

Probably worth doing this first and then let us know if it fixes it or not.

If both of these don't work and the monitor is running in isolation (not connected to anything else) then pickup the phone to Concept 2, your monitor is probably faulty.

If its only a problem with Ergdata then its becomes fun. Similar problem to when using RowPro, you don't know if the issue is with the monitor or RowPro or even the PC.If you have the latest firmware versions and software versions and you still have issues your kind of stuffed.

Thanks a lot for your answer, carl.

So far, I have the latest PM5 firmware (166) already installed (so before the issue).
I have tried a factory reset, and it seems to work now, at least I don't have this problem anymore when completing a workout, or trying to access the memory.
However, I didn't have time to check if it solved the problem even with the PM5 connected to Ergdata... I will check this today.

Thanks again for your help.

The "full factory reset to defaults" appears to solve corrupted memory where your results are stored. It worked for my Older PM5 on V29 Firmware.

yes, the "full factory reset" was indeed the solution: now I don't have the issue anymore, even when using Ergdata.
So everything is fine (except, of course, that I have lost all the data in the PM5... but that's the price for solving the issue).

So thanks again for your help.

just so the software guys know I too am having this issue ( sorry new to forum ) and will try the full factory reset and report back

thanks

HI All i did the hard reset and which seemed to go fine and now the unit is not seeing the sender unit or something as if I spin up it sees no RPM ????

WTF man this is frustrating as I had just used it for a 5k row
now it is useless ......any Ideas guys ....??? need help ASAP

update just realisied the pm5 had reset to a D/E rower , I have a C .....
so you need to reset this and can be found here

https://www.concept2.com/service/monito ... stuck-zero

not sure why this setting needs to be hidden and not part of the standard menus

It needs to be a hidden menu so your typical gym member cannot find it and fiddle with it.

For example have you tried changing the language, pressed the menu back a few times and then tried how to find out how to get it back to English ?

Hours of entertainment.

Actually I quickly gave up on it and pulled the batteries....

I have the same problem with every workout using KREW. i think it only started after updating the pm5 to v166 because i didn't see it before.ive done factory resets, or pulled battery to fix the problem but at the moment it means im not getting any data to log.
