Hands on hatching and help

My hatch was 1 out of 11. 1 more had pipped and started to zip but died. The rest were dead in their shells. I definitely believe this to be from low temps. I'm pretty sure it will be the same issue with my 2 remaining turkey eggs. The incubator I'm using is one of those off brand all digital forced air. I don't think it is operating properly. It has reset itself a few times. My duck eggs are in a Harris Farms still air and look great. I also found out that since I'm at an elevation of 2000 ft I need a bit higher humidity level. Live and learn I guess, but the process really sucks. Hubby thinks we should get a brinsea ex or a cabinet. Just don't know if they are worth the investment.
 
HELP:
My incubator rotator got unplugged for a little over 24 hrs on day 7-8. Will it effect the chicks that much?? I'm hoping they are going to be ok and it won't kill them. This is a VERY EXPENSIVE batch!! And it's the only chance at me having a special flock!

Just the turner got unplugged? They should be fine, just plug it back in :)

Just the turner was off, not the heat? It shouldn't have much effect. Just plug it back in.
