Default Power FC Controller Screen has gone Green

As above really since we have had this heatwave my screen on my Apexi Power FC controller has gone a dark green colour so you can hardly see the Figures on it. This was at its worst after the car was left in the sun all day a couple of days ago. It was totally unreadable, just a very dark green colour. It has cleared off enough to see it now but still has a green tint to the screen.

Has anyone else had this problem with the hot weather. Or have I just got a faulty Controller.

There not the best screen to start with I know.

Yes I thought that. I had the aircon blasting on it for a while. But its been a few days now since it went dark green and it still has a light green tint on the screen, which it never used to have.

done that alreay mate as it was a little hard to read clearly when i installed it..... was on max brightness of 99 and i adjusted the contrast to 23 i think.... easier to read now,but was the comments of the green colour that had me wondering,as it looks to me like its a green background anyways...... what should they be like,grey'ish,blue'ish...... ive not had a look at another one to compare before.......
