Default S250 Owner's/Technician's - Nagivation Help

I purchased a used IS250 as a lease return with the ECP extended warranty. I purchased an extra 4years -160K ECP. - This car was bought in Toronto, Canada
Couple days back the touch screen on the navigation stopped working. All other buttons are working fine. The maps are working but I cannot use the touch screen. With the colder weather coming I need some help. I cannot get the heating to work as the touch screen is not working.
I called the dealership and apparently the electrically warranty is only 50K and the ECP won't cover it.

Need some help/ suggestions to help with with the issue.

Suggestions - any help would be great!!

The problem is that the ribbon cable that attaches to the touchscreen loses connection.

There are several threads on the forum that discuss fixing it inexpensively using a circuit writer pen, e.g. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...e-nav-fix.html

You can also buy a replacement display / digitizer board on eBay. I've even seen ads on eBay for fixed price repair of this problem.

The dealership is your most expensive option, as they will replace the entire radio unit which is extremely costly.


There are also some car radio
