Possible Causes
Blown controller power fuse, Failed DC power supply, Loose controller connector, Defective LCD/display module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disable auto-start and disconnect battery power before removing controller covers.
- Check DC supply: Measure DC voltage at the controller power input terminals. If absent, inspect fuses and wiring from the battery and charger.
- Inspect connectors: Reseat the multi-pin connectors on the back of the Siemens controller, ensuring they are fully engaged.
- Backlight test: In a dark environment, look for faint backlight or pixels. A lit but blank screen suggests a firmware or display issue.
- Replace controller/display: If power is present but the display remains dead or unreadable, the controller or display module likely needs replacement.
