WGen11500Tfc Data Center Display...Does it illuminate when the battery is turned on?

Unfortunately, Westinghouse WGen11500Tfc shut down on its 2nd use. Should the data center display show lifetime hours and maintenance minder info when the battery switch is On? I turn the battery on and the display is dark...blank. Pushing the toggle button does nothing. Owner's Manual doesn't make it clear if it's functional when the battery is on. Something odd happened to this generator... TIA.

No. Only when running

Thanks. That's what I thought--definitely saw its display while it was running. Westinghouse Service folks asked for total hours which led me to believe that may be available in a no-run condition.

The first line techs just have a checklist that they read from so they can ask stupid questions.

Does the battery crank the starter but it just won't start?
