I want to know if you solved the problem.

This usually means the SDcard on the motherboard is not seated firmly in it's slot. Open the back and make sure the sdcard is seated well.

Absolute worst case scenario, you can gut the board for as little as $30 for a Arduino 2560/RAMPS 1.4, flash without an LCD control and call it a day. For a XYZ, this would mean you would lose the daughterboard and may need to upgrade carriages as a worst case scenario, but it would get you off of the XYZ dependency!

They should not charge anything for labor if it is.. Have you flashed it with Repetier or is it still stock?

Nice tight connections on both ends.  Upon startup the hot endl will re home itself.  Im not sure if I can more the other axis motors, because I cant see the screen to to get to the spot when I can manually move them. Ive een trying to find a video of how to get to there so I can try without needing the lcd screen.  I have inquired about a new board from xyz and the want 100 plus shipping and the month it takes just for them to ship it out.  Xyz wants 60 an hour for them to troubleshoot it.  Thank you for the help.

1) LCD connector to the board are loose/have a broken wire
2) The LCD is busted
3) The LCD is functional, but the backlight is way down to the point you cannot see the controls
4) The firmware on the board itself is fudged (most likely)

Can you control or move an axis?
Your post makes us suspect that it used to work, but no longer does, which would be a board problem if you have replaced the screen and wires.

Can you elaborate? Please be specific as every detail may count.
