Elite Direto Resistance Not Working

I have an Elite Direto that is a little over a year old. The magnetic resistance seems to have stopped working. In ERG mode I have to shift to the smallest cog in the cassette (mid compact crank on the 12 tooth cog) at a relatively high cadence in order to generate modest power. In level mode I have increased the level to its maximum setting, however it makes no difference and I am left to shift to the smallest cog in the cassette at a high cadence to generate moderate power.

Anyone else encounter this issue and if so, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Update on this topic - messaged Elite customer support and relatively quickly they were able to diagnose the problem: motherboard. Sending me a new motherboard for installation. Hopefully this fixes the issue and I'm back to maximum suffering shortly.

Which email address did you use because I have same issue and believe I need new motherboard as well to fix no resistance issue.

TIA Scott

Lets see, I used general form function on Elite web page. Asking what to do, no resistance on my trainer what so ever. :oops:
New motherboard sound very not easy to fix...
Lets hope for a total replacement instead.
