Have blank screen, but remote works. Harmony 890

Had the same exact problem. Blue screen, no text, but remote worked ok - if you could figure out which buttons did what. Tried every solution posted online - battery pull for 10 sec, battery pull for 1 hr, and battery pull overnight. Tried updating software, firmware, but nothing worked. Found a replacement screen on ebay for $26 shipped, replaced it in less than 5 minutes, and works great.

Hey!

I had this same problem with my Harmony 890 and when I contacted Logitech, they told me to do the troubleshooting steps below and I got it working again!!!


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 helps!!!

Hi, You should try upgrading the firmware to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you are good to go. If not then this may be a hardware issue.

The steps to update your firmware in safe mode are as follows:

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.

Hope that helps!

this sounds like it is a hardware issue, try contacting Logitech through e-mail from the website www.logitech.com and sending an e-mail in.

try the following before contacting them:
1. Log into the Logitech Harmony Remote Software on your computer

3. Click on the Firmware button. Follow the onscreen instructions to upgrade the firmware on your Harmony remote

If this doesnt work, provide them with the following to make sure the process goes as smooth as possible:

Please Note: The PID (Product Identification) and P/N (Part Number) for the remote can be found either on the underside of the battery cover, or at the bottom of the battery compartment (the battery might be covering it). Your PID number is a character code with a combination of letters and numbers, starting with either WL, WD, or LZ
