2018 FiST: Black Screen of Death!

Hey everyone!

I'm rocking a 2018 FiST and today she decided to have a little issue.

Everything with the infotainment system was working perfectly fine up until I got home and put my car in reverse.

It seems it either glitched or killed itself as it was trying to swap to my back-up cam.

Unfortunately, it's not working at all: No music/volume, not a single button is responsive, and the screen shows 0 signs of life.

I'm going to be unplugging the battery for a few minutes when I get home to see if that sorts it out. Otherwise, I'm guessing I'll have to take it somewhere to check the fuses.

Is there anything else I can try? I'm pretty mechanically limited, lmao. I have a warranty on it, but it only covers the engine.

P.S. Since I've read these can be temperamental based on temperature, it's 40 degrees (F) outside today.

Thank you!

I just read some F150 forum posts that reporting similar behavior. Solved by doing a soft-reset (you won't lose contact info, etc). Press and hold the power button for about ten seconds.
