I had someone over working on my pool and it appears they broke the screen to my Hayward controller, so Im looking for a how to turn on the pump manually? When I open the pump cover I have no power or nothing on the display. please let me know
 
The CB is turned on. and I only have the one screen on the controller pad. I am guessing here but I assume when I turn on the pump or filter using the controller pad it triggering a relay that powers the pump. So Do I need to bypass that relay somehow temperary

In the menu on the pump, get to "standalone" and you will have control over the pump if there is power to it and no other damage. The pump should have constant power, it is not controlled by a relay.

What model pump we we discussing?

Show us pictures of the pump and its control panel.
 
First, what youre talking about is an inside remote. Do you have a pool subpanel?

Pls take a pic if your entire pool pad, then provide the Model # of your pump. All VSP's can be controlled from their own control panel.

Finally, how did "the worker" break the remote? How old is your remote? If more than 2-3 yrs old, chances are that the battery died. If they actually did drop and break it, then they should pay for it or disct their services...

Some VSPs no longer come with their own control panel. See many Jandy VSPs.

Most Hayward VSPs require the control panel wires to be disconnected when the automation RS-485 wires are connected to the pump.

To enable the pump control panel you need to open up the back wiring compartment and disconnect the automation wires and reconnect the control panel wires.

This is why the pump control panel is dark.

Ok maybe not a relay but a device that needs to turn on to get power to the pump?

Based on what is seen in that picture, if the breaker is not tripped, there is continuous power to the pump. Top left relay has two yellow from the breaker and the pump-power wires under the same terminal. It works that way to power the pump continually.
 
Get a meter out and check to see if the pump has power. As ajw22 stated the pumps display panel may be blank because it's disconnected. If the pump has no power, check the relay to see if there is power going in and out of it. If the pump has power than it is not getting a signal from the RS485 cable to run. Check to see if the controller is getting power. If you need to run the pump disconnect the controller and connect the panel on the pump and use that to manually run the pump. You may need do some wiring to get constant power to the pump.
