1) Remove the battery from the Harmony Remote for 10 seconds and reinsert it. If this does not resolve the issue, please continue troubleshooting.
2) Ensure you have the latest version of the Harmony Remote Software (7.7).
3) Update the firmware on the Harmony Remote. The following link shows how to complete this task:

4) Try putting the Harmony Remote in safe mode and complete the firmware update again. The following are the steps to accomplish this:
a) Remove the battery from the Harmony Remote.
b) Press and hold the power button while reinserting the battery into the Harmony Remote.
c) To get out of safe mode, remove the battery for 10 seconds and reinsert it into the Harmony Remote.

I hope this gets the display on your Harmony Remote working too!!!

Display on 890 remote is faintly lit. I have a new battery and cradle, have updated remote (firm/soft)....nothing. Remote does work, but you can't see display, so you are enabling the 'force'...
Not worth repairing, contact harmony and they will give you a coupon for 50% off a new remote. The 900 replaced the 890, although I prefer the 890 the screen is a lot better on the 900.

Hello. My Harmony 890 lights up but there are no words showing up on the display window. I have tried taking out the battery and then putting it back in, but it still isn't working right. Any...
This issue has been identified in a couple of other forums. I read that the display LCD was dead and that it needed replacing. I ordered a new screen on ebay, just search on LCD SCREEN FOR Logitech Harmony 880 ,890 REMOTECONTROL the part number is 141192-0000 (I think) it was under $27 and was shipped promptly. Easy fix. Two screws and six tabs to pry apart carefully to remove the back. Two screws to remove the motherboard. Carefully remove the daughterboard (be careful the motion sensor on mine was glued and the top popped off. It was a bear finding the mini gold ball that is inside the sensor after it fell on the floor. The LCD connector's dark piece pulls straight up and then slide out the flat cable.
Easy, quick fix.

Harmony 890 just went dead. Nothing. Nada. Not
I have an 890 also. I've found that the remote doesn't always charge when it the charger. I have to put a rubber band around it and make sure it shows that the the battery symbol on the display is showing that it charging. Or the battery isn't taking a charge anymore and I'd try to replace it. Doesn't really hold a charge very long either.

Harmony 890 Screen lights up but no text shows, its just blank
HI! Here's what to do if your Logitech Harmony remote's LCD screen has gone blank.


1. Remove the battery, press and hold the 'OFF' button, and re-insert the battery. The screen will display 'Safe Mode!', or the 'Activities' button will be lit.
2. Connect your remote to the computer.
3. Launch the Harmony Remote Software, and log in.
4. Click "Downloads" at the top and click "Firmware".
5. The remote will go through the firmware update.
6. Select "Yes", and click NEXT to update the remote.

If the screen is still blank after you complete these steps, then it is a hardware issue and you should contact Logitech's wonderful support team, given that the remote is still under warranty.

Changes 2 channels at a time
I can help you with your Logitech Harmony 890 remote control.

The Logitech Harmony 890 remote control is programmed through the
Harmony Windows Setup Software.

I recommend resetting it up with your components to get rid of the two channel problem.

Once installed, you will simply run the program and select the devices you would like to control from menus. This program finds the right codes for you and loads them into your remote control.

You can get a copy of the Harmony 890 Manual by clicking here.

I hope that helps.
