Possible Causes

Faulty LCD backlight driver, Loose display ribbon cable, Power supply fault on thermostat PCB, Overvoltage damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power to the thermostat before opening it.

  • Check for life: Press buttons and see if the boiler responds (e.g. heating demand LED on boiler). If control works but screen is dark, the issue is display-related.
  • Inspect connections: Remove the thermostat from its backplate and gently check the ribbon cable between PCB and display for disconnection or obvious damage.
  • Power check: Verify that the thermostat is receiving the correct supply voltage at its terminals using a multimeter if you are competent.
  • Replace unit: Display or PCB-level repairs are not user-serviceable; replace the thermostat if the display remains non-functional.
