Glowworm 24ci , no display on interface board

[Gareth Smith]

Hi , I have a glowworm 24ci and recently the lcd starting flickering between temp and pressure green led also flickering , now there's no display or led at all, had an engineer to look and he spoke to glowworm over phone and diagnosed the fault to be the interface board , £160 later and new interface board fitted and there is still no display on LCD , any ideas ?

Call back the guy that fitted it, he must have tested the boiler was working B4 he left, or did you fit it yourself ? was it a new board ? or an EBay special

I fitted the board myself , it is new and pricey too, I did notice that when I left the power on the boiler accidentally for a few hours the display was trying to work , flickering on the lcd and led , maybe broken wire but I think probably main PCB

Are you gas safe registered? I take it you are not if you called an engineer out already

If you are Gas Safe Registered then drop @Lou a message with your number and she will sort you out. If not please stop messing with things that need trained hands. We will not give unregistered people information on how to repair a Gas appliance.

Think its is own boiler and he rang Glow Worm, all he has given is the price for the board without any fitting costs, for what it is its quite pricey.

Hope someone learns something from this....

I'm not gas registered and I don't intend on tampering with any of the gas , I am an electrotechnical operative so more than competent to change PCBs , I was just after any help as unfamiliar with boilers and what the different pcbs control, just trying to save time and money as it was wrongly diagnosed the first time

Do you mean your own diagnosis? Or a long distance guess without multi meter? (an essential when diagnosing electrotechnical faults)

Its a little more involved than just replacing PCBs and by doing it your self its now cost you money, you have either damaged the board that you have fitted or fitted the wrong part, we don't only need experience with gas our trade covers more than what people think and it takes us meny years to gain our knowledge.
