Heating!? It's June! Almost mid Summer!!! :eek:

If the receiver has quit then the only way to get your boiler on is a slight re-wire, or just go and buy a new one - they're on standard backplates so you just lift the old one off and sit the new one on. Five minute job

Have you tried pushing the override button? This should bring on
the boiler as a temporary measure.

The Drayton SCRs are crap and notorious for breaking down.

Would be best to scrap it and fit alternative make of RF stat.
 
Usually a loss of capacitance in the one they use as a mains voltage dropper to power the unit.

Glued in but can be replaced to restore operation if that is what has occurred.

But there are so many other options, pairing, proper batteries etc.
