On the covered Honeywell Home T6 Pro Smart thermostat, blank screen or unresponsive system means the thermostat has no display power, or it is not getting a response from the system. First, check the circuit breaker or fuse for the heating or cooling system and the power switch at the equipment.

Correct only the documented fault domain
ReversibleThe T6 Pro guide's checks: turn on the breaker or fuse if it is off, make sure the power switch at the heating or cooling system is on, make sure the furnace door is closed securely, then wait 5 minutes for the system to respond. For a system that does not respond, set Mode to Heat (setpoint above the indoor temperature) or Cool (setpoint below it). The guide says 24 VAC power through a C wire is required. If the wallplate shows the correct 24V but the display is still dark, the fault has moved from the wiring to the thermostat's own electronics, which the breaker and fuse checks above cannot fix, so the unit itself needs replacing at that point rather than another wiring check.
The furnace door check exists because most gas furnaces have a safety interlock switch on the door: a door that looks closed but is not fully latched can hold that switch open and cut power to the whole system, which looks identical to a thermostat fault from the wallplate.
