  If your Silca Power Tool machine is on but the display is blank, try the following: * Verify the emergency button is not activated. * Check the general fuses on the power socket. * Ensure the ON switch on the back of the machine is in the ON position. * Confirm the power lead is connected. * Inspect fuses F4 or F3. Also check that the fan on the back of the machine is working. In addition, check the connection cable between the display and the electronic circuit board and make sure it is properly placed. Finally, the display itself may be faulty.
