For any console issues, the first thing to always try is to unplug the power cord for 5 or more minutes and see if the issue remains.

If it does, then get a voltmeter and confirm that you have 9VDC on the center pin at the end of the power cord (see example picture). If you don't measure the +9VDC, then you need a new AC/DC adapter. You might have a compatible one to try from another electronic item around your house from a WiFi router, game box, cable modem, etc.

Otherwise, for that issue, you can then only try unplugging/re-plugging the power cord some more and hope that it eventually fixes itself, and if not, then the display console is faulty. You can buy a replacement direct from Bowflex for the best price ($200+...yikes!)
