I am doing an overnight smoke tonight with my FEC2000, but sometime within the past hour my LCD display on the IQ4 thermostat controller stopped working properly. The right 1/2 of the LCD readout is not displaying anything at all, and the left 1/2 of the readout is only visible from a severe side angle. I can tell that text is still scrolling across, so the controller still appears to be working, and the display is still backlit. Because the right 1/2 of the display is not readable, however, I cannot see the displayed cooking temperature.
I thought about doing a reset, but I'm afraid to in the middle of cooking because if the LCD fails to work properly after the reset, then I have no way of knowing what temperature the unit is set to. Any suggestions?
