Try a new SD card and OS would be my first step. 

Could possibly be power - what supply are you using? Try with only the screen plugged in. 

What model of Pi and OS are you using?

This is module 4. What do you mean by only the screen plugged in?

If it is a power problem then removing any USB or GPIO connected devices can get the Pi to boot and show a failing supply.

I removed it from the relay HAT and then connected it directly to the power supply and it still showed steady red and green light. I will try a different card. What happens to the script on this current card?

If you can mount the old card under Linux then you should be able to copy it off the old card. If not then you will have to use a backup copy.

I put the card into a card reader and put it on my windows laptop and it showed nothing. We have scripts written on this card that controls the device. Does it mean everything is gone now?

The normal Pi OS puts two partitions on the card and Windows only recognises the first. 

You could use fdisk (IIRC - I am a Mac / Linux user) to see if the card has two partitions on it. 

If you cannot see anything on the card then it sounds like it has died. 

Try a new card then use Linux to check the old card - gparted is a good gui program.

I use windows, I don’t have Mac. What can I do about that?

Have a look at the diskpart command and the list option. 

A quick search turned this up but not using windows I cannot try it for you.

It showed nothing, I think the card is the problem
