It might be a loose display cable (the fact that it charged makes me think the battery is hooked up, but its connection might be worth checking as well), or perhaps a dead button

Does the unit respond to the power button while plugged in?

If you’re handy [you can open the unit and confirm the cables/connectors (particularly the display/front area) are fully seated](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/repair/#opening-facet)

Alrighty

Barring finding anything unexpected when you open it, I suspect a display board failure - [we can send you a replacement board if so, just fill out the form here](https://www.sparkfun.com/returns)

Create a sparkfun account (on our main website), be sure to put in your address/shipping info for the account.

Then click the link above to fill out the forum for an RMA (put “1” as the order #), you can also link/reference this thread…and we’ll get a new display sent out ASAP!
