Hi,
You are not getting the 24v power from the furnace...
Either the furnace power is off... the 24v transformer went bad...
or there is a fuse that blew which is interupting the 24v power from the trnasformer...

The blank screen in other words is an indication of amuch larger problem...
you need to find that power problem and fix it...


ere is a tip that will help you try to figure out why your furnace is not working.

I replaced my batteries on my Honeywell RTH230B thermostat and now the screen is blank with no way to turn it on. The batteries don’t seem to touch each end of the metal to power the system for some...

One of those ends for the connection should be a spring and the other should be a tab. make sure the spring side is on the flat end of the battery, it pushes the bump on the other end into the tab in the battery holder.

Motorola RAZR V3 LCD SCREEN went blank - black screen

The LCD flex connector is very sensitive. 4/5 of the RAZR screens I see go out are due to a loose flex connection. It's super easy to fix it. Take off the battery door. There are two T6 screws. Take them out and pop off the bottom of the phone. There are two flex cables: one for the keypad, the other for the screen. Connect the flat cable (screen cable) first. Then connect the bent (keypad) cable. Put back together. Voila.

Nothing on the screen when psp is switched on

Turn the PSP off and remove the battery and battery cover. Remove the two screws underneath the battery. Remove the other two screws on the opposite side of the battery. Remove the final screw on the bottom edge of the PSP.Grasp the PSP on both sides with each hand and pull the cover off of the PSP. Locate the button bar on the bottom front of the PSP. Use your flathead driver to lift up the left side of the button bar until it pops up off the LCD support. Lift the button bar cable tab upwards to remove the cable and remove the button bar.Insert your flat driver into the small space on the left side of the LCD screen between the the LCD housing and the LCD mounting bracket. Twist the screwdriver slightly and the mounting tabs will pop out. Gently remove the other side of the LCD after popping out the first side tabs. Bend the PSP screen all the way down until you can see the backside of the screen.

Lift up the flex cable connectors and unhook the cables that connect the screen to the PSP motherboard. The tabs are brownish in color; they are very fragile, so be gentle. Lift the PSP screen out of the housing and place to the side.Place your new PSP screen into the PSP, face down like you had the older screen after popping out the mounting tabs. Connect all of the cables from the PSP screen into the motherboard tabs. Fold the screen back into the bracket, snapping it into place. Place the button bar back onto the LCD support, connecting the last cable. Place the cover back onto the PSP and tighten screws to finish.
