Hunter Pro-C not working

We have a Hunter pro-c, installed three years ago. It has been turned off for the winter and we are trying to get it restarted.

Currently, all the icons are lit/displaying, there is no single identifying error message, everything on the screen is lit up. The reset function does nothing. The battery is new. Turning off the power and restoring only returns it to the current state. The lit icons on different dial settings change but they make no sense. We can at times/after turning the dial to different functions, get individual stations to run. However, there are no intelligble readings to know what we are doing to know which stations are coming on, why,or for how long. So, the station wiring seems intact but communication, I assume in the box, is bad. It will not turn on any stations automatically.

Is it a FUBARED box, although not that old and well protected?

Thanks :cursing:

It may have been scrambled by a voltage spike, and sometimes they never recover.

Thanks. Can't get anything. Anything to try? Just wait, any chance?

I've had Pro-C controllers do the same or similar. The display is zorched, but the controller still functions. It all depends on whether you can make sense enough of the faulty display to program it.
