So you took your leap of faith and discovered just how faithful you were. Life's lessons are very powerful and taught you an experience in traveling, and against all odds. It sounds like you did well, considering the odds. Knowledge is a very powerful tool and look at the knowledge you

Exactly! Have a friend or family who is mechanically savy, or many times a local garage or mechanical shop will do the work and may not charge anything. Get all your manuals, keep record of s/n's, model, electronics version, and any information that you can. Mark all fuses and breakers

[QUAD-L] Permobil RS/ C500

Hi Guys, I've have a C500 Permobil with an RS seating system. I was wondering if anyone on the list is currently using this unit, (either RS seat or C500)? I am having difficulties with both, after a year of use. Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Billy

Anyone buy or find the little computer device the repair shops use to adjust your chair's computer? I'd love to get one. I almost had one once when the repair guy left it in the room at the shop after he left, but I was honest. Now I wish I would have taken it. Greg

I was reading a little about Invacare having this "MK6i IR" It can convert your chair's joystick into a remote control for your TV, DVD, etc. Even use it to move your mouse on your computer. Anyone ever try this? It could be cool. Greg

my Invacare did the same kind of thing but it would stay powered up but had to be turned off and back on to reset it. Just last year after three years of uncertainty I can now power down my own chair and started back up again. It's a little black box not made by Invacare or supported by them as

I have had numerous repairs done: motors, electrical etc. This is my fourth permobil and it just seems the quality has really gone downhill. More importantly, I ordered this RS seating unit. I have been using it for a year and since I have developed monumental lumbar problems. Perhaps it
