You are getting power but the processor is
refusing, or being prevented, from booting.
Swap screens (and wiring) to confirm the problem tracks the hardware
and not the panel position. Contact Chelton customer service and send
the unit in for checkout and repair. Include any incidental information
regarding the failure.
Good thing you have a built in spare.
This is a good time to point out that the sensors are wired into one of
the IDUs then "daisy chained" to the others in the system. If you
remove one of the links in the chain then everything downstream wont
get the data it needs. If you want to use the remaining display you
need to shuffle the displays' wiring so that the missing display is the
last one in the chain. Consult your aircraft's MInimum Equipment List
for limitations regarding one screen operation. If I were you I would
limit my flights to Day VFR until you have full system capacity (with
redundancy) restored.
Thanks for providing a timely example proving my point. Like Jeff said,
everything breaks.
