Try connect another battery and see if it comes to life.
Water can get under that display through the side. Thats where I have seen multiple fail.
So I checked battery current. Upon turning on current goes to 600ma. While still holding the button, it is at 800ma.
So clearly there is a short somewhere.
I cut 3 suspicious wires to the display, but nothing changed.
There is really nothing I can do anymore other than cut all the wires to the display and see if it works…
If there’s a short something will be getting hot.
Right… Thanks, Ok then, I checked, part of that large main epoxied part gets hot like 45c. But then it cannot be repaired. So don’t know how but water got inside there probably. Or they fail prematurely intentionally
Could be a blown regulator which would explain why the whole thing doesnt turn on

Turns out one of my remotes does not have a broken screen. It flashes the logo when starting up, but then goes white instead of the normal screen. Functionality is still fine.
Could I hard reset it? I don’t want to lose the config in case I never get the screen on again as it is working perfectly fine other than the screen issue.
Sounds like the same issues I have with one of mine it’s intermittent sometime it works fine sometimes the screen goes white but it still works. A good whack usually fixes it for a while whack it hard enough to shake things but not enough to break it. It’s likely an intermittent contact on the display. Maybe there’s a way to fix it. I haven’t opened that one yet, I just bought another one.
