Mine is battery back up only. It is 24v fed. The batteries were bad so I replaced them but the fuse on the low voltage side was blown too. He's coming back today. Blank screen = bad juju.

You better get those batteries in there cause there is another round on the way!
We get the snow from the Colorado low this weekend and then an Alberta Clipper comes through early next week.
It's officially winter.
Oh, yeah. He got me fixed up. There was a wire laying against the frame on the heat pump. I guess vibration had rubbed the insulation. When it went into defrost mode AND it was wet it would trip the low voltage breaker. He cut out the rubbed spot and placed a wire nut on it. Presto, no more problems. $88 bucks. I have no complaints.
We have another round of crap weather coming in tonight. It's raining now and that's supposed to turn to freezing rain then snow. 57 now and it will be 26 tomorrow.
Cool....Glad that's all it was....
Those low voltage shorts can be hard to find.....
Had one that would run in.. heat..and....cool... at the same time...was next to a new drywall, wall.
Was a drywall screw went thru the insulation on the T-stat wire...shorting it out.
Yeah, I had visions of a bad compressor or the ever so rare gizmoid circuit card that runs $1200 and has to be ordered direct from the factory in Brunei. But Dave treats me pretty good. Local guy been in business for umpteen years.
