Exclamation no power to eplex screen

The bedroom eplex screen quit working last year. We replaced a zone 1 sensor and had to program the eplex, all went well. We then noticed the bedroom screen had lit up but was no operable. unpluged the 2 power wires to the back of the bedroom screen hoping it would reset. the screen did some blinking but never came up. Now a bigger issue!!! we have no screen in the cockpit either. Everything seems to work on the coach but now we have no eplex system at all.
Can anyone help?

Try forcing the whole system to reboot by removing all 12V from the coach. The Use/Store switch should do this if you select Store mode. Wait about 30 sec, then restore power and see if it comes back up.

If not, a call (and maybe a trip) to Nappanee is in your future.

Sounds like your issue is more severe than the one I had, but a couple of months ago I had a completely dark bedroom screen. The Newmar tech told me to turn off the batteries at the main battery disconnect in the overhead cabinet above the dash and turn it back on after 30 seconds. I guess the equivalent of a reboot. In any event that worked for me- at least this time.

Solved. Newmar led us to a false door in the powercord compartment where another fuse box existed. A blown fuse. Whoo hoo. only a couple bucks
