Boiler appears dead and unresponsive

Help,
My boiler stopped working sometime yesterday morning. I can't get it to come on at all. (tested the circuit breaker, turned thermostat up to 90, turned it on and off, etc.)
I've posted my earlier problem with this boiler in the thread "How do you know if your boiler is overfiring?" I just had a new gas valve put in and it seemed that after it was put in the boiler seemed to have a larger flame than before and there seemed to be a lot of pressure coming from the vents in the radiators. I had put new vents in all of them this weekend which stopped the water hammer. One radiator was spitting a lot of water so we just turned that one off.

Has my boiler been put to an early death because of this problem? Is there something I'm missing about what I can do to fix it?

Lynn

    Could be, but not limited to...flame sensor, roll out switch, high limit sensor, voltage / control issue, etc. A pro can tell you where in the process it is failing. Turn the t-stat up, and turn off the power to the boiler. After a minute, turn power on. Any reaction? Attempt to light? No reaction? Led lights on / flashing? Could be that a sensor found high heat levels where they should not be and tripped the circuit for good reason before you or your boiler were hurt.
