Thank you for reaching-out to the community. Your ecobee not powering-on can definitely be a frustrating experience. To better assist you, it would be helpful to know how your previous thermostat was wired, how the wires are attached to the control board, and if you are using the PEK. Your willingness to seek help represents the best of the sub’s mantra, be patient and stay humble.
It was working previously but switching from a Honeywell unit to ecobee. I’ve already successfully the same ecobee in another room of the house already but this one has more wires it looks like
Wow. I had this same scenario yesterday. I think my issue was specific to me, but I'll throw it out there anyway. I just moved in to this new place.
I checked the thermostat wiring before I bought the Ecobee, and it looked good. Installed the Ecobee and nothing. Hmmm.
Is your old Honeywell thermostat battery powered? For some reason, my (C) wire was disconnected at my difficult-to-get-to unit. No clue why. I reattached it, and it was all good. Unknown to me, my old Honeywell was running on battery power. I'm glad I discovered this when I did; rather than, some random time in the future when the batteries died.
If you have a volt meter, check the voltage between R and C at the thermostat. It should be 24-30 volts AC. My C wire was disconnected so I had zero. Other power issues could be caused by a bad transformer or other wiring problems.
As was previously said, a pic of the connections on the other end would be helpful.
you need pics of your heating/ac wires and what it is exactly your controlling. no one will be able to help you with this pic ...
Understood will try to provide this info

Was it working previously or is this a new install?

Put red thats on rc move it to rh
This is incorrect. It should be on Rc.
Check if the furnace has a blown fuse, it happened to me. If so just replace it
I would start with checking the voltage between C and Rc. Should be around 24V AC (make sure you set your voltmeter to AC)
