But the casing is broke too.
I have seen a bunch of these. The problems isnt that they just "break" for no reason but that they are broken. Even if the casing doesent break it still flexes enough to break the more brittle screen. How? Easy. Stupid stock hovercraft style programming. You cannot hit a doorway without smashing the joystick or arm into the frame. ALL stock chairs, every brand, are ALL set up to be like this for some reason that absolutely baffles me. Almost every chair (with the exception of most front drive) can be configured without all the stupidity quite easily. If you know exactly what to change and why. 4 settings. And adjust 2 others to taste. It takes under 2 mins. 99% of all powerchairs in common use are programmed this way for 2 decades. Its rediculous.
I have NEVER touched any of my joysticks on a doorframe or anything else unless I CHOSE to do so since 98.
Ever since I got pissed off with the useless control and fought PG drives to buy an OEM programmer. And then fixed it! None of mine joysticks or arms have a mark on them after 25 years of use. At least not from that!
